Memory Loss
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have life-changing consequences for victims and their loved ones. One common and highly intrusive symptom of a brain injury is a reduced capacity for memory. Impaired short-term or long-term memory can make daily functioning more difficult, creating a frustrating and often emotionally painful disability.

Living with Memory Loss
Traumatic brain injuries can cause several different kinds of memory loss depending on the details of the injury. A person with this kind of injury may suffer from:
- Lacunar amnesia. This is an inability to recall a certain event in one’s life. Brain injury victims are sometimes unable to remember how their injuries occurred, or events that took place immediately before or after the incident.
- Short-term memory loss. Short-term memory is the ability to recall things that have recently happened. Simple tasks such as grocery shopping, work functions, or even finding one’s keys can become much more complicated for victims of memory loss.
- Long-term memory loss. Long-term memory is the ability to recall things from the past. While it is a relatively rare effect of brain damage, it can be a serious problem for those who have it. It is much more difficult to learn new facts or skills with impaired long-term memory.
If your life has been affected by memory problems like these due to another party’s negligent behavior, our Tampa traumatic brain injury attorneys will fight for the justice you and your family deserve.
