While there are many possible accidents that could lead to an unfortunate brain injury, almost half of the traumatic brain injuries recorded in the United States every year come down to one of four categories:
* Auto Accidents. Over three hundred thousand injuries happen every year because of automobile-related accidents. That’s way too many.
* Assault. An absolutely tragic amount- almost two hundred thousand every year.
* Falls. There are more than half a million injuries every year from preventable falls.
* Being unintentionally struck by an object. Upwards of 280,000 injuries yearly. This is especially common for those working physical jobs like construction.
