Brain damage is one of the most devastating injuries humans can suffer. The brain controls everything about our lives -- our movement, intelligence, emotions and personalities. When part of the brain is injured, the functions that part controls are damaged or lost. And because neural tissue doesn’t heal the same way other tissues do, those losses are likely irreversible.
While illness or medical malpractice can damage the brain, the majority of U.S. brain injuries are traumatic brain injuries caused by a hard blow or pierce wound. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1.4 million Americans sustain traumatic brain injuries each year, leaving 50,000 dead and 235,000 more hospitalized. Leading causes of traumatic brain injuries include accidental falls; transportation accidents; blows to the head; violent crime; blast exposure for military personnel; and sports injuries.
