Yet the victim can experience permanent injuries such as memory loss and other functional problems. Not all injuries involve a negligence claim. Some of the most common injuries that may lead to legal action include:

  • Slip and fall
  • Vehicle accident
  • Sports injuries
  • Violent behavior and assault

Life after the accident

The impact and severity of the accident depend on which part of the brain was injured. Some factors such as the distance of the fall, the angle of the body, the presence of obstacles, and the type of surface, can determine how severe the injuries could be. Broken bones can heal fast but traumatic head injuries may take a lifetime to heal. Some reactions the victim may experience include:

  • Personality disorders
  • Coordination disorders
  • Short-term and potential long-term memory loss
  • Anti-social behavior and severe mood swings
  • Unable to think critically and make sound decisions
