Is it possible to contract a permanent brain injury from running into a car with a bad driver?

Yes.: Our brain is the most delicate of our organs. It has limited ability to heal from an injury. One of the most common ways to injure your brain is during a car accident. If you have concerns, you should be evaluated by your doctor right away.
