If you or a loved one has recently suffered an injury that has resulted in memory loss, it’s essential to get in touch with a legal team that can advocate for you during this difficult time.
Injuries that lead to memory loss (temporary or permanent) are extremely stressful for both the victims and their families. These injuries can cause permanent disability, prevent victims from being able to work, and cause significant relationship stress (if the victim can no longer remember friends, family, or their partner).

Injuries That Result In Memory Loss
Memory loss can occur from a number of different injuries, including the following:
- Car accidents (resulting in traumatic brain injuries or concussions)
- Pedestrian or cyclist accidents
- Brain tumors
- Lack of oxygen to the brain
- Brain surgery
- Medical malpractice
Types of Memory Loss
There are four primary types of memory loss that a person may experience.
These include:
- Memory loss due to trauma. This may be because of a car accident, physical assault, or other accident which resulted in a blow being dealt to the head.
- Memory loss due to a TBI or concussion. Injuries that result in concussions or TBIs usually result in short-term memory loss following the accident.
- Memory loss due to brain damage. Brain damage to the hippocampus can result in permanent memory loss as well as issues with forming new memories.
- Memory loss due to retrograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia means that memories made prior to the accident are lost. This type of amnesia may be long or short-term and is quite traumatic for both victims and their loved ones as they may no longer be able to remember who people are or remain in their field of work.
