Traumatic Brain injuries, sometimes called closed head injuries, are potentially the most debilitating injuries and result in the highest rate of fatality.

This type of injury to the brain will affect the basic functions of neurons which carry messages to and from the brain. These messages coordinate motor skills, memory, and actions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature and senses such as touch, smell, vision, hearing and taste.

Brain damage or injury may be caused by a variety of accidents. Traumatic brain injuries are catastrophic to families, and the medical bills and long term effects can be devastating.

Whether mild or severe, a traumatic brain injury will change your life forever.
