BRAIN INJURIES

Crashed Car

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability in the United States.

The CDC defines a traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, jolt, or penetrating head injury.

Everyone is at risk for a TBI, especially children and older adults. Every year, an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI as a consequence of these injuries:

  • 230,000 people are hospitalized and survive
  • 50,000 people die
  • 80,000 – 90,000 people experience a long-term disability

Brain injuries can happen in hundreds of different scenarios, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, work-site accidents, drowning, or many other types of trauma. These injuries have both short-term and long-term effects on individuals, their families, and society. The financial cost is enormous. We understand that the financial burden is only part of the problem when it comes to traumatic brain injuries, but it’s a burden that our clients should not have to worry about.
