Romanucci & Blandin Law Firm Notes Who Is at Highest Risk for a Traumatic Brain Injury

CHICAGO – Males are about 1.5 times as likely as females to sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to attorneys at Romanucci & Blandin, LLC. In addition, they point to these statistics:
• The two age groups at highest risk for TBI are children up to 4 years old and 15- to 19-year olds.
• Certain military duties (e.g., paratrooper) increase the risk of sustaining a TBI.
• African Americans have the highest death rate from TBI.
