The permanency of a traumatic brain injury depends on the severity of the injury. While over 80% of victims of mild brain injuries will recover and live with no lasting effects, the other 20% will face persistent challenges for possibly the rest of their life.
Moderate to severe brain injuries can have long-lasting and permanent effects on the victim’s life. While it is possible to manage the effects and live a full life, most people with moderate to severe TBIs will need to adapt to their condition and face a new reality following the injury.
