Brain Injury

Brain injury occurs suddenly, without warning. In an instant life is changed, forever. Every day we participate in activities that produce endless risks for sustaining a brain injury; events include a car accident while driving to the grocery store, a fall from a bike, or a blow to the head.

Each year, approximately 600 people out of every 100,000 sustain a minor brain injury, and 11 out of 100,000 suffer a severe brain injury. More than 30% of severe traumatic brain injuries are fatal, and the rest leave the individual with lifelong disabilities. Traumatic brain injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in persons under the age of 44.

There are two types of head injuries which can lead to damage within the brain (closed head injuries and penetrating head injuries). The physical damage within the brain can occur in three ways: bruising (bleeding), swelling, and tearing. Traumatic brain injury is characterized by a loss of consciousness.

Typically, the longer an individual remains unconscious the greater the sustained damage. The resulting physical, cognitive, behavioral, and/or emotional complications can last for months or become permanent.
