Statistics Estimate that 28 Percent of Traumatic Brain Injuries in US Result from Car Accidents

Even though traumatic brain injuries have been getting much more attention in recent years as they continue to grow as problems in settings such as youth and even professional athletics, the truth of the matter is that traumatic brain injuries have been a serious problem for societies around the world for decades.  Recent statistics that have been released that reveal just how big of a problem traumatic brain injuries are with regards to the public health.

Specifically, these statistics reveal that someone suffers a traumatic brain injury in the United States every 23 seconds.  In addition, nearly 2 million people on the United States suffer some sort of head trauma every year that involves the brain, head or skull.  In addition, 300,000 other people suffer traumatic brain injuries that are severe enough to require hospitalization.  Finally, of those 300,000 people who require hospitalization, nearly half suffered their traumatic brain injuries because of a car accident.

Additional Traumatic Brain Injury Statistics

In addition to the statistics above, it should also be noted that more than 50,000 people who suffer traumatic brain injuries every year in the United States are killed as a result of the trauma, and more than 100,000 people suffer traumatic brain injuries severe enough every year that they must live with long-term disabilities.

Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers

Simple arithmetic should tell anyone that nearly 150,000 people every year suffer a traumatic brain injury as a result of a car accident, and many of those who do so were not at fault for the crash that led to this harm.  People in this position can and many times should file a traumatic brain injury lawsuit against a negligent or reckless driver to recover damages for their losses.

If you or someone you love has been harmed in this manner, you need to seek the help of experienced traumatic brain injury lawyers who have been fighting for the rights of suffering clients successfully for many years.  Contact the Scarlett Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.
