From financial consequences to problems at work, headaches and memory issues, brain injuries often come with a long list of challenges that people will struggle with. Sadly, many patients have suffered a brain injury at the hands of a medical professional who was careless, and these injuries can be even more difficult to address because they may take months (or even years) to become apparent. In this post, we will look into some of the ways in which brain injuries can disrupt a victim’s personal relationships, an especially upsetting facet of this injury for many people in New Mexico.
After sustaining a brain injury, someone may see their lives unravel in countless ways. Unfortunately, some people experience problems in their relationships, whether they are married or have been involved in a short-term or long-term romantic partnership. Moreover, people may lose friends and run into difficulties with family members as well. There are a lot of reasons why brain injuries can disrupt relationships, whether someone experiences significant changes to their personality or they lose interest in certain things. For example, someone may no longer want (or be unable) participate in an activity that they used to enjoy with their friends, leading to the breakdown of these relationships.
Living with someone who has sustained a serious brain injury can be difficult, and some people ultimately decide to leave. Sadly, this can make life even harder for brain injury victims and is another reason why negligent medical professionals who cause these injuries should be held accountable.
