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.
More than 50,000 people are killed in the United States every year and hundreds of thousands more are forced to live with long-term and permanent disabilities for one common reason – because they have suffered a traumatic brain injury.
There are more types of injuries that someone can suffer than anyone could ever count. However, one of the most difficult injuries that anyone can face is a traumatic brain injury.
