Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of brain injuries (50%). This includes brain injury-related deaths as well as nonfatal injuries. The second leading cause of brain injury-related deaths is firearm-related incidents. Among non-fatal brain injuries, the second leading cause is falls. Among age groups, the leading cause of brain injury varies. Young children and elderly adults sustain injuries due to falls. Young-to-middle age adults are more often injured in motor vehicle crashes.
