According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 60,000 people died from TBI-related injuries in the United States in 2019. This is roughly 166 people each day, making TBI a leading cause of death and disability. In the workforce, TBIs are typically related to falls, and falls are the cause of more than half of all hospitalizations due to TBIs. Other causes of TBI in the workplace include:
Statistics show that workers who do construction or factory work or who work in the agricultural or transportation industries are more prone to TBIs than other workers.
While some TBIs cause only a few days of health issues, others can result in permanent injuries that workers must contend with for the rest of their lives. Only 26 percent of people who sustain a serious TBI show improvement at the five-year marker—and 30 percent of TBI victims become worse, says the CDC.
People who sustain a TBI injury usually have more losses than a traditional personal injury claimant. Beyond losses due to medical costs and lost income, the TBI victim may also need ongoing care to aid them in recuperating. This can impact both the injured individual and their families.
