Those who have suffered head injuries need to be aware of the risk of a brain bleed. This is also often referred to as a hemorrhage. There are various types of bleeding that can occur around the brain, such as intracranial hematomas or subdural hematomas, depending on...

When recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), you may be – very understandably – frustrated if you do not experience the level of healing that you expected or hoped for over a certain period of time. Many other injuries people suffer when accidents occur – like...

Though it happens all the time, we seldom think about the dangers that come from having vehicles of all different shapes, weights and sizes on the road together at the same time.
