Brain Injuries Can Be Severe
Today, we want to give you some information about brain injuries because we have found that they are not well understood by the general public. These injuries are unfortunately common because they can be caused by so many different things.
There are currently over 5.3 million people living with disabilities caused by traumatic brain injuries in this country. They happen primarily due to:
- Car Accidents
- Firearms Incidents
- sports incidents
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- falls and falling objects
- and other types of violence
These injuries can affect a person’s physical abilities as well as their cognitive abilities. The effects of brain injuries can be short- or long-term. Victims often require extensive rehabilitation and physical therapy to make a recovery.
Because of the nature of these injuries, calculating their costs to victims and their families is very hard to do. Medical expenses can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but that is only part of the overall costs. If a victim is unable to work, they will lose valuable income needed to support themselves and their families.
We Need To Talk About Concussions
Concussions are brain injuries as well. In fact, they are the most common form of brain injury. Though concussions are considered mild traumatic brain injuries, they need to be properly diagnosed and treated because their effects are cumulative. If a person sustains a second concussion before they have healed from the first one, the damage can be significant.
There are approximately 3.8 million sports-related concussions each year and most of these happen to children who are involved in sports and recreational activities. It is vital that coaches and sports staff understand how to recognize these injuries to prevent a person from sustaining further damage.
