Brain Injuries
When the head is impacted by force, the chances of developing a brain injury increase considerably. Brain injuries can result in nerve cell damage, bleeding, and brain swelling. While some brain injuries can heal and be treatable, any trauma to the brain can adversely impact a person’s daily life and lead to a great deal of physical, mental, and emotional harm.
The most severe brain injuries can also be deadly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, annually, over 200,000 hospitalizations occur due to brain injuries, and around 70,000 people die each year because of them.
