Local Law Firms Home > Medical Malpractice Overview > Brain Injuries > Personality Change Do you have a friend, family member, spouse or child who is suddenly acting differently after sustaining a brain injury that was either caused by a medical professional or mistreated or misdiagnosed by a doctor? It may be normal, to some extent, for someone to appear a little disoriented after sustaining a brain injury. However, if some time has passed and there seems to be changes in their personality, it is likely due to the result of the brain injury.
If someone you love has sustained a brain injury and is now acting differently, the victim may be completely unaware of these personality changes—even if you point them out to him or her. They may insist that they are fine, but you know the difference. To them, it may seem like nothing changed, but you understand that something has. In severe cases of personality changes, a victim may not even remember certain events or people, or will choose not to care about them anymore. Did you know? Whether the changes are minor or substantial, a personality change in a loved one after a brain injury can be a devastating side effect. It is almost like losing that loved one completely as they change into an entirely different person right before your eyes.
