Diffuse Axonal Injury: California Brain Injury/Trauma Article by San Diego Brain Injury Lawyer Mark C. Blane

What is Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) to the Brain?

Diffuse Axonal Injury is also known as (DAI). It is considered one of the most common and damaging injuries found in a traumatic brain injury (head injury). This means the damage is found in a larger area in the brain instead of a focal area of the brain. It is the result of bio-mechanical “shearing” forces that happen when the head is suddenly decelerated or accelerated; this type of bio-mechanical force is found in trip/slip and falls, auto accidents, pedestrian or bicycle accidents, rear-end collisions, or sporting activities.
