Brain injury facts and figures
Some form of trauma to the head causes traumatic brain injuries, either through the head hitting an object, an object hitting the head, or penetration of the skull. Car accidents account for many of the incidents reported annually.
The Brain Injury Association of American estimates that 1.4 million people suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) every year. Car accidents were the cause in almost 280,000 TBIs in 2006. They were second only to falls resulting from slips or trips or other causes, which accounted for 392,000 TBIs.

Patients with mild TBIs still require head and neck X-rays to view the damage. Moderate or severe TBIs require CT-scans before treatment is an option. These tests are expensive and are only the start of medical treatment for a head injury.
Almost one-half of the victims of severe traumatic brain injuries will need surgery. Others require a mix of occupational, speech, physical, and psychological therapy to meet their recovery needs. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are 3.17 million Americans who currently need long-term or lifelong help with everyday activities.
