Should You Ignore Your Injury?
It’s just a bruise or a cut, after all. But what if it was much worse than you
thought?
In 2013, injuries accounted for 59% of
deaths for people aged 1 to 44 in the
United States.
That’s 1 person every 3 minutes.

There were reportedly 31 million
injury cases that resulted in emergency
visits that year.
About 2.5 million people were
hospitalized due to injury.
Leading cause of death for people
between the ages of 1 to 44 is Unintentional
Injury.
