Males More Prone to Traumatic Brain Injury
Males are much more likely to suffer a traumatic brain injury than women, a new report by The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows. One in 45 people have an acquired brain injury, and more than two-thirds of those people are male, and males are more than twice as likely as females to be hospitalized for a TBI (traumatic brain injury).
The report found that incidents such as accidents and blows to the head were common causes for brain injuries in younger males and that more than half of the brain injuries in people under 65 were caused by vehicle accidents.
If you or a loved has suffered a traumatic brain injury in Philadelphia or anywhere in Pennsylvania, please contact the traumatic brain injury attorneys at Pomerantz Perlberger & Lewis today to schedule your initial consultation.
