Traumatic Brain Injury - or TBI - can occur when an outside force injures the brain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2004):

• 1.4 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury every year.
  
• Each year, approximately 80,000 - 90,000 Americans experience the onset of long-term disability following TBI.
  
• More than 50,000 people die every year as a result of TBI.
