I read a statistic of an estimated 1.5 million head injuries happen in the United States every year. There is another number that is mind blowing and that is 52,000 deaths occur each year due to brain injuries! There is an estimated 1.6 million to 3.8 million head injuries related to sports every year. These numbers are staggering to me. Right now an estimated 5.3 million Americans live with disabilities caused by brain injuries. That is 2% of the population! Did you also know that the leading cause of death and disability in adults and children from 1 to 44 is a traumatic brain injury? These injuries can happen any where from the sports fields to the bathtub. Children get hit by cars at an alarming rate in our state causing some of these statistics. This can be a very difficult time for a family. There are expenses to deal with and many times there are decisions to make. This is a good time to have a brain injury lawyer working for you that can give you advice on what you should do. They also know the laws of your state regarding brain injuries. Some of the laws differ depending on your state.
