March is again designated as Brain Injury Awareness Month. Led by the Brain Injury Association of America, this year’s campaign is focused on the individual.    Dated research reports every year, at least 2.8 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury, and over 5.3 million Americans are living with brain injury-related disabilities.  The CDC reports that every 9 seconds, someone in the United States will sustain a brain injury.  A concussion is a brain injury.   So, these statistics vastly underestimate the number of individuals who sustain brain injury each year and the number of individuals suffering the lifelong consequences of a brain injury.  This year’s awareness campaign is entitled, My Brain Injury Journey, focusing on significant issues that impact the lives of individuals who have sustained brain damage.   Watch this episode on YouTube at https://youtu.be/ZgeK_75PFVcFind out more about brain injury at https://brainlaw.com/brain-injuries/help/Brain Injury Insider is a weekly podcast by The Brain Injury Law Firm ®, De Caro & Kaplen, LLP.Host Michael Kaplen is a passionate advocate of the rights of brain injury survivors, and has been fighting on their behalf for over 40 years.De Caro & Kaplen, LLP228 E. 45th Street, Suite 1100, New York, NY 10017Toll Free: (866) 272-4652e: [email protected]
