Every 21 seconds, someone in the United States sustains a traumatic brain injury. Motor vehicle accidents, falls and sports mishaps are the leading causes. Another daily tragedy in the United States is brain injury related to medical care. When a patient is misdiagnosed or has a threatening problem mistreated, a serious brain injury can result. Lead poisoning of children is yet another serious cause of brain injury. Whatever the cause, a brain injury changes forever the life of a patient and his or her family.
