What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

According to the Center for Disease Control, the CDC, 2.9 million people suffer from brain injury every year, resulting in 56,000 deaths, 288,000 hospitalizations, and 2.5 million trips to the emergency room. Oftentimes, we expect brain injuries to arise from car accidents, mishaps on construction sites, or major accidents, but slips and falls around the house can also pose a threat if left untreated and can have dire consequences.
