Is traumatic brain injury a common occurrence in vehicle accidents?

Traumatic brain injuries do tend to be relatively common in vehicle accidents, but they may also be sustained while playing sports, the result of a slip and fall, fighting or other situations where an individual hits their head. Almost 80,000 people struggle with the onset of long-term disability annually as the result of a severe brain injury.

Each year close to $30 billion is spent treating, caring for and rehabilitating traumatic brain injury victims.
