The human brain, while one of the more remarkable organs, is also extremely vulnerable. In the event that the brain is impacted, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may result. When a person suffers a TBI, they may experience life-changing consequences, including impairments to cognition, language, sensation, emotion, and more.<\/p>\n

Facts and Statistics About Traumatic Brain Injuries<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Traumatic brain injuries are not only a very serious type of head injury but also an extremely common type of injury. To be sure, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> (CDC) report that traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability in the United States, with an average of 155 people per day<\/em> dying from injuries that involved a TBI (during one year for which data is most recently available).<\/p>\n

During that same time period of one year, there were about 2.87 million traumatic brain injury-related emergency room department visits, deaths, and hospitalizations reported in the U.S. Nearly one million children were affected by TBIs during this time period, too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The CDC also reports on factors that make a person more at risk of being a victim of a TBI. One of the greatest risk factors reported is age; TBI-related deaths during the year for which data was collected most affected those ages 75 and older. However, anyone<\/em>, regardless of age or any other demographic marker, may become the victim of a traumatic brain injury when negligence is involved.<\/p>\n
