Brain Injury Attorney Blog

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is damage to the brain caused by a sudden, violent blow to the head. The severity of traumatic brain injury can vary greatly depending on which part of the brain is affected and the amount of damage to that part of the brain. The degree of damage can range from minor with temporary confusion and headache to major resulting in profound disability or death.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1.4 million people experience TBI each year in the United States and approximately 50,000 will die.

The cost of taking care of a loved one who has suffered a traumatic brain injury can be in the millions of dollars. It is estimated that over a lifetime, it can cost anywhere from $600,000 to $1,875,000 to care for a survivor of severe TBI.
