One of the most terrifying injuries one can incur is a brain injury because a loss of awareness or another aspect of normal brain functioning may not be discernable to the person who is injured.

A blow or jolt to the head can cause a traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries vary in severity from temporary mild disruptions in brain function to severe long term disruptions in brain function. According to the Center for Disease Control, every year an estimated 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury in the United States, 50,000 people die from a traumatic brain injury, and 235,000 people are hospitalized. Leading causes of traumatic brain injuries are falls and vehicle crashes. There are a significant number of sports related traumatic brain injuries each year.
