Serious injuries to the head, brain and spinal cord occur every day in the United States with over 1,000,000 injuries each year. These injuries can affect anyone from adults to teenagers, infants to the elderly. Brain, spinal cord and head injuries most commonly occur in traffic accidents but they can also result from falls, diving accidents, and sports injuries.

Common types of brain, head, or spinal cord injuries include:

• Concussion
• Brain contusion
• Skull fracture
• Hematoma
• Whiplash
• Paraplegia or quadriplegia

Serious injuries to the brain, head, and spinal cord adversely affect the victim and his or her family and friends far beyond the immediate injury. Financial hardships are endured with expensive medications and excessive medical bills.

Lifelong treatment and care require commitment and patience that may place a strain on one's life.
