Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden jolt, blow, or impact causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull. This movement can result in chemical changes, bruising, or damage to brain tissue. Even mild trauma—known as a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI)—can lead to lasting effects, sometimes without immediate signs such as loss of consciousness.
Common Causes of TBI
TBI can happen in many everyday situations, including:
- Rideshare Accidents – Sudden impact from Uber or Lyft collisions, especially rear-end crashes, can cause the brain to jolt violently.
- Slip and Fall Accidents – Striking the head on the ground during a fall can lead to significant brain trauma.
- Sports Injuries – Contact sports like football, boxing, and rugby are common causes of concussion and TBI.
- Motorcycle Accidents – Especially in Connecticut, where helmets aren’t required for all riders, these crashes can be devastating.
- Pedestrian Accidents – Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer TBIs due to direct impact.
- Product-Related Injuries – Falling merchandise or faulty safety equipment (like airbags) can cause head trauma.
- Birth Injuries – Trauma during delivery can result in infant brain injuries with lifelong consequences.
Why TBI Cases Are Complex
Brain injuries are often called “invisible injuries” because their symptoms may be subtle, delayed, or misdiagnosed. TBIs can affect memory, mood, concentration, and even personality. Because of the complexity of these cases—especially when involving multiple parties, such as in rideshare accidents—it’s critical to have a legal team that understands both the medical and legal challenges involved.

On Route 82 through Salem’s folded farmland, a pickup clipping a slow-moving tractor can turn a routine workday into a life-changing injury. In the town’s narrow corridors—stone walls, tree lines and limited sightlines—head trauma from agricultural collisions or overturns is a recurring reality. I’ve spoken with residents who describe sudden loss of consciousness, disorientation and the eerie way a quiet country road can become a trauma scene in minutes.
Farm implements, ATVs and loaded trailers create blunt-force and acceleration injuries — concussions, intracranial hemorrhages, diffuse axonal injury — often before anyone can clear a field gate. Salem Volunteer Ambulance is first on many rural calls; crews describe longer call-to-hospital intervals when a scene is deep in the township or when harvest equipment blocks a paved lane. That delay changes triage, imaging priorities and transfer decisions.
Initial stabilization on a dirt lane often precedes interfacility transfer by ambulance or helicopter to a regional center. From Route 85 approaches toward Norwich, crews calculate routes and rendezvous points, balancing travel time against the need for CT imaging and neurosurgical evaluation. Many severe cases go to regional hospitals for acute care, then require step-down inpatient rehab or coordinated outpatient therapies across New London County.
Salem Green is the civic heart where farmers, neighbors and school routes cross — and where community memory keeps track of crashes and recoveries. During planting and harvest season local clinicians and families note spikes in serious head injuries, and rehabilitation timelines stretch from weeks to months. As an investigator I look at sightlines, equipment marking and dispatch patterns to understand how a rural collision becomes a long recovery.
