Whether you are in a car accident in Poway or injured as a result of a slip and fall accident on hotel property elsewhere in Southern California, you could be at risk of sustaining a head injury. Many recent studies on traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) have focused on both youth athletes as well as adults who have played contact sports and sustained repeated concussions over time. However, a new study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that older adults are also suffering from TBIs at a high rate, and there is an imminent need to consider injury risks among seniors.
