When fathers face the possibility of having to fight for custody of their children, many of them only begrudgingly do so because they assume that they have no chance for success based on a perceived advantage that is held by the mothers in these situations.
According to statistics kept by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 50,000 people are killed after suffering a traumatic head injury every year, and hundreds of thousands of others are forced to live with long-term disabilities.
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.
