New York Injury Accident Lawyer : Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) means an injury to the brain caused by some type of external force or trauma. Motor vehicles accidents, construction accidents, falls, explosions, defective products, playground accidents, traumatic births, police brutality and sports injuries, are common causes of TBI. Traumatic brain injury is a significant cause of disability and accident fatalities across the globe, with children and young adults accounting for a significant number of those affected.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), each year, an estimated 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States. Of them, approximately 52,000 die, 275,000 are hospitalized, and 1.365 million, nearly 80%, are treated and released from an emergency department of a hospital. A significant portion of those who are hospitalized, as well as those who are treated and released from hospital emergency rooms, go on to have serious disabling problems. Direct medical costs and lost productivity cost Americans over 60 billion dollars a year.
Traumatic brain injury is a contributing factor to nearly a third (30.5%) of all injury-related deaths in the United States. About 75% of TBI’s that occur each year are cerebral concussions. Traumatic brain injury, including post-concussion syndrome may involve memory, cognitive and psychological impairments.
A traumatic brain injury may severely impair the life of the injured party and negatively impact his loved ones. In the event that one sustains a traumatic brain injury in a car accident, or other event linked to the negligence or wrongdoing of someone else, personal injury law gives that person the right to seek damages from those responsible.
