Loss of Personal Recognition from Brain Damage
A person injured by another individual’s negligence may sustain serious brain damage. These injuries can create severe problems that compromise even the most basic functions which we tend to take for granted. For example, a brain injury victim might lose the ability to recognize other people by sight. This ability is already present at birth, allowing a child to quickly recognize his or her parents, so it is hard to conceive of its absence until tragedy has struck. This condition is agnosia.
If you or your loved one has been the victim of another party’s negligence and has lost the ability to recognize people, sounds, smells, or objects as a result, a civil lawsuit may be appropriate.

Brain Injury and Interpersonal Problems
An individual who suffers from agnosia may be without extremely important social skills. It can be very difficult for a person to form relationships with coworkers or new acquaintances. Moreover, maintaining relationships with friends and family may be challenging. The following problems can occur as a result of brain injury:
- Inability to connect a person’s identity to their face
- Inability to connect a person’s identity to their voice
- Inability to make a connection between objects seen and their identity
- Short-term memory loss
If these complications develop because of brain injury, a person may pursue treatment. However, this course of treatment can take a substantial amount of time for any progress to be made. Additionally, this process is likely to be expensive.
