According to the Brain Injury Association of America, someone in the U.S. sustains a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) every 23 seconds. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are caused by trauma to the head. Statistics from the Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery Center indicate that accidents involving automobiles, bicycles, motorcycles, and pedestrians are the major cause of TBI in people under the age of 75. For people age 75 and older, falls are the most common cause of such brain injuries.

A concussion may result from the rapid acceleration / deceleration that occurs when a vehicle collides with another object. As a result, the brain can bang against the inside of the skull and become bruised. This is called a concussion. Head injuries are one of the most overlooked types of injuries, and, in some cases, can result in prolonged brain damage. Victims can suffer from severe headaches, memory loss, mood swings, and cognitive difficulties (ie. losing their keys, forgetting what they were trying to do, etc.).
