Traumatic Brain Injuries ("TBIs")

People who are injured in an accident can suffer many different kinds of injuries.  Among the most serious, as well as the hardest to diagnose and treat, are so-called traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), sometimes also known as "closed-head trauma".

TBIs send more than 400,000 people to the hospital for treatment each year, three-quarters of whom are males between the ages of 15 and 34.  This group is over-represented because of the lifestyle that many of the accident victims lead: riding motorcycles without a helmet, participating in dangerous sports, drinking too much, and getting into car accidents.  Although the majority of these injuries are moderate to mild, even a minor TBI can cause the victim to suffer serious problems.
