The severity of a collision or direct hit also directly correlates with the likelihood of a TBI, whiplash, or similar injury occurring \u2013 increased severity leads to a higher chance of experiencing a severe head injury.<\/p>\n<p>Circumstances that often increase the severity of an accident \u2013 and the possibility of a life-changing or life-threatening TBI \u2013 include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased rates of speed;<\/li>\n<li>Not wearing a seat belt;<\/li>\n<li>Being impaired while driving; and<\/li>\n<li>Being struck directly in the side, versus the front or back, of the vehicle (<i>Source<\/i>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When traumatic brain injuries are suffered, the diagnosed severity is spilt into three levels: Mild TBI, Moderate TBI, and Severe TBI. According to the CDC, <a>Moderate and Severe TBIs<\/a> are, unsurprisingly, the most serious and costly and may result in the sufferer needing \u201congoing care to help with their recovery\u201d for years or even the rest of their lives.
