When someone suffers a severe head injury and they are incapacitated for any period of time, he or she faces a long and difficult road to recovery. Unfortunately, many of the 1.7 million people who suffer these types of injuries in the United States every year will never completely recover from the harm they have suffered.
When someone suffers a traumatic brain injury, that person's life can change instantly and permanently. Not only will that person face a long road back to recovery, but he or she may have to learn to live with long-term or even permanent disabilities based on the loss of basic mental and/or motor skills.
