A traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a devastating impact on the victim as well as their family for a long time after the injury occurs. There are over five million people dealing with the disabilities associated with a traumatic brain injury in this country today that were caused either by motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports-related injuries or criminal assaults.

The most common symptoms associated with a mild traumatic brain injury may include a brief period of unconsciousness, headache, confusion and dizziness, difficulty concentrating and blurred vision. A moderate to severe TBI is most often associated with a persistent headache, nausea and vomiting, seizures, deep confusion and coma, and often is fatal. Victims of a severe traumatic brain injury usually need months, years and sometimes lifetime physical, emotional and financial support to cope with the challenging effects of their TBI.
