Coma

If you or a family member is a coma victim, you may not even remember how the accident happened, where it happened, when it happened. You could have been unconscious for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years after experiencing a serious head injury or brain trauma. Car accidents, according to the Coma Recovery Association, are the number one cause of comas.

A severe injury to the head can result in swelling (edema) or shifts (herniations) in the brain. These conditions cause increased pressure in the brain, which can lead to a coma.

The duration and severity of a coma varies from person to person. Someone in a persistent vegetative state (a condition where only basic bodily functions such as breathing are maintained) can last for years.
