Any motor vehicle accident has the potential to cause the people who are involved some degree of physical injury.
Thankfully, in many cases the injuries are only mild and serve as little more than a brief inconvenience for those who suffer them.
There are others who are decidedly less fortunate, however, and these people may suffer permanent adverse health effects as a direct consequence of a car crash.
Among the most severe injuries that can be readily associated with car accidents, brain injuries may rank as the worst.
Medical treatment for a traumatic brain injury is likely to be very expensive and even the most advanced course of care may be unable to return a crash victim's brain to its pre-collision state.
There are many factors that may work together to cause a car accident, but when another driver's negligence or recklessness is to blame, or when a manufacturer provides a negligent vehicle or part, then it may be in an accident victim's best interest to file a civil lawsuit.
Though there can be no guarantees about the outcome or the gains made by a successful legal action, compensation may be awarded for medical bills, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and other damages as appropriate.
Possible Consequences of Brain Injuries Brain injuries are more troubling than most others because of the potential for the damage to affect far more than just one body part's capacity.
The potential effects of brain injuries may include:

• Impaired cognitive function
• Loss of linguistic abilities (speech, reading, writing)
• Loss of existing memories and difficulty with memory formation
• Impairment of motor skills
• Mood swings or altered personality
