When a work accident changes who you are - your personality, your temper, your relationships - it may be brain injury. These changes are real medical injuries, not 'just stress.'
Family members often notice personality changes before the injured worker does. If your spouse, children, or close friends say you've changed since your work accident - that you're angrier, more impulsive, or 'not yourself' - take it seriously. These observations are often the first evidence of frontal lobe damage.
Traumatic brain injury can fundamentally change a person's personality, behavior, and emotional regulation. The frontal lobe, which controls personality and impulse control, is particularly vulnerable in workplace accidents. If family members say you're 'not the same person' since your work injury, they may be recognizing brain damage that even you can't see in yourself.
If someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your brain injury, you may have both a workers' compensation claim AND a separate personal injury lawsuit. This "two claims" strategy can significantly increase your total recovery.
