Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among young adults and children in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year an estimated 1.5 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury. These injuries can appear from motor vehicle crashes, violence such as assaults, and falls, which are the leading cause of TBI among the elderly. Sadly, brain injuries are not always apparent, even to the injured party. The symptoms of a brain injury can be very subtle and hard to diagnose. If you or a loved one has been in any kind of accident, it is crucial that a proper assessment is performed to ensure whether a brain injury has been sustained. The Law Offices of Patricia A.
