In this paper we describe the main mechanisms of trauma and major injuries that are founded in a violent death caused by head trauma in order to contribute to a practical approach to these cases in Forensic Pathology for both staff physicians and residents, in order to standardize and unify criteria; and always with the ultimate goal of contributing to the proper administration of justice that is the final purpose in Forensic Medicine.
