A traumatic brain injury (tbi) is an injury to the brain which is typically caused by a bump, blow to the head, jolt, or penetrating type injury to the head. This type of head injury disrupts the brain's normal function. A traumatic brain injury can range in severity from "mild", for instance a concussion, to "severe". A TBI can change how a person acts, moves, and thinks. A traumatic brain injury victim may experience massive personality changes caused by delayed or altered brain function. Car accidents, pedestrian accidents, work injuries, and slip and fall accidents are common causes of traumatic brain injury .

A head injury such as a TBI can be especially devastating when they happen to children.
