During the month of March, safety advocates draw attention to the frequency, prevention and consequences of brain injuries. Injuries to the brain, even mild ones, can have life-altering consequences, and neither you nor your loved ones may completely understand the changes in your behavior.
A head injury following a car accident can affect many aspects of your life, from your motor skills, your ability to make decisions, the control you have over your emotions and how you communicate, among others. In some cases, the victim of a head injury loses those abilities altogether, but in other cases, the victim may have to relearn certain skills. Seeking quality medical care for your rehabilitation is key to your recovery, but that kind of care can be expensive.
