Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death and serious injury in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control, TBIs contribute to approximately 30% of all injury-related deaths. TBI claims the lives of over 50,000 individuals annually, which equates to an average of roughly 153 TBI-related deaths each day. Another 80,000 to 90,000 individuals experience the onset of a TBI-related disability each year.

When someone is seriously injured in an accident, it can be a life-altering event for victims and their loved ones. Medical bills start to pile up, and if the injured party is the primary breadwinner in their household, time missed from work can put a major financial strain on everyone involved.
