A brain injury is a devastating and life altering situation for the victim, as well as his or her family. Although all brain accidents are difficult for loved ones to handle, one caused by another who acted in a negligent or reckless fashion is extremely difficult, knowing that the injury could have been avoided. Some brain and head injuries include hematomas, concussions, and skull fractures. Listed below are just a few symptoms which may be caused by a brain injury:

• Loss of consciousness
• Post-traumatic amnesia
• Encephalopathy
• Seizure
• Un-reactive pupils

Depending upon the exact type of injury, and the severity of the injury, the victim may suffer permanent brain damage, affecting some or even all aspects of his or her life. In some cases people who have suffered from brain injuries are no longer capable of caring for themselves, caring for their families, or performing work related or simple daily tasks.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious brain injury caused by another person's recklessness or fault, you have the right to hold that person responsible for the injuries that they caused.
