Traumatic Brain Injury Can Change a Trucker’s Life Forever
Truckers face the risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) everyday. The United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 1.5 million people suffer brain injuries each year. Of these, 50,000 people die and more than 80,000 people are permanently disabled each year. It is estimated that there are more than 5 million people in the United States living with brain injury related disabilities.
Thousands of truckers are among those that suffer traumatic brain injuries each year. Truckers suffer them in countless ways, including highway accidents and while working at terminals, docks, warehouses, and other pick-up and delivery locations, and they can traumatically alter that driver’s life forever. Brain injuries are unlike any other injury because they can occur on a microscopic level, which means they are often not detected by CT scans, EEGs, and X-Rays. Despite the lack of physical evidence, brain injuries have serious consequences. Even individuals that do not suffer a loss of consciousness or only briefly lose consciousness can suffer permanent cognitive impairment.
