World Health Day is coming up on April 7th this year. At the Cardone Law Firm, we believe it is the perfect time to educate people about TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) as more and more people head outside to enjoy the warmer weather and participate in spring sports.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 2.8 million cases of TBIs are reported each year. This statistic is even more worrisome when you consider how many of that number are children. According to the CDC, the number of sports- and recreation-related injuries involving a TBI more than doubled from 2001 to 2012 among children ages 0-19.
