Collisions Cause Half of All Brain Injuries

Collisions involving cars, motorcycles, and bicycles are the contributing factors for half of the United States’ reported brain injuries. According to the article, “the risk of traumatic brain injury is highest in young men ages 15 to 24.” One symptom of someone suffering from a traumatic brain injury is the occurrence of a seizure within the first week after the injury. The article lists several other conditions that may result after the traumatic brain injury, but the most common are short term memory loss and communication problems.

A Son’s Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Leads to Creation of a Brain Injury Safe Haven

TBI Clubhouses are opening around the nation to help support brain injured victims.
