According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, over 1.5 million Americans suffer traumatic brain injuries every year. Of this number over 50,000 succumb to their injuries and over 235,000 are hospitalized.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be caused by an impact to the head that causes the brain to move inside the skull. Traumatic brain injuries are frequently the result of motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, sports injuries, criminal assaults, nursing home abuse, heart attacks or electrocutions. Permanent disabilities caused by a traumatic brain injury range from the mild to the severe with the area of the brain impacted usually determining the scope of disability.
