Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries

The National Center for Injury Prevention states that 1.5 million Americans sustain a brain and spinal cord injury each year. Of those, 50,000 die, and over 1 million are treated in hospitals. Many of these victims are children, who are most at risk. Almost 500,000 children suffer serious brain and spinal cord injuries as a result of accidents each year. Brain and spinal cord injuries as a result of an accident can be devastating and may cause serious permanent health issues. In many cases, brain and spinal cord injuries are due to the negligence and recklessness of someone else and may have been prevented.
