Suffering from a Brain Injury after a Pedestrian Accident in South Carolina
While a head injury with an open gash or wound may be serious, many times a closed head injury is just as severe or even life-threatening. A pedestrian who has been struck by a vehicle of any size could suffer a brain injury.
When you suffer a traumatic brain injury, you could face life-altering consequences. Irreversible brain damage could lead to permanent disability. It could also mean a lifetime of expensive therapy and rehabilitation.
