Trauma is the leading cause of death for United States citizens between the ages of one and forty-four. Over 50,000 people die every year as a result of traumatic brain injury.

More than 5 million people in the United States----over 2% of the population---suffer permanent disability due to brain injury. Each year, more than 1 million people in our country suffer head injuries, with someone sustaining a traumatic brain injury every 21 seconds.

Traumatic brain injuries can result from tearing, bruising or swelling, damaging the delicate tissue in the brain. Anoxic brain injury can occur when the brain is deprived of oxygen intake for a period of time.

Traumatic brain injuries can result from automobile accidents, workplace accidents, falls or sports injury. If you or a loved one has suffered brain injury resulting from the negligence of another, contact the Law Offices of John S. Simmons. We can help.
