There are things that happen to humans that remind us how vulnerable we truly are. One of those things are the amount of brain injuries that happen in the United States alone. The statistics are huge but when you think of those numbers as people it can be unimaginable. I can not think of all the work a brain injury lawyer must have every year working with families in difficult situations. There are 52,000 brain injuries resulting in death in the US a year. If you think about how many families that effects the numbers become even more staggering. There are an estimated 1.5 million head injuries that happen in the US each year. The sports industry has an estimated 1.6 million to 3.8 million head injuries each year. Males are twice as likely to suffer a head injury then a female. Two percent of the US population live with a debilitating brain injury right now. That translates into 5.3 million Americans. The leading cause of death or disabilities for individuals ranging from 1 to 44 is brain injury.
