No matter what kind of work a person does for a living, where they live, or their free time activities, no one is completely safe from a brain injury.

However, for now, many people would agree that a complete severing of the spinal cord could mean the end of control of the body below that point.

When a person receives a significant blow to the head, they can also suffer a mild traumatic brain injury without realizing it. Mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) may not cause pain or produce any other symptoms for several days or weeks. The delay can make it seem as though a victim’s symptoms came out of nowhere.
