Abstrakt: Although the rate of brain injury remains stable, due to medical advances, many patients who have suffered serious brain injury survive the accident, but remain with very important consequences. The role of the forensic doctor is increasingly more relevant in establishing curing periods, injury stabilization, treatments received and accident consequences so that the courts can dictate the corresponding compensations, incapacity levels and penal grades.
