As a result, he is now plagued by seizures, vertigo, and memory loss.<\/p>\n

After the accident, a doctor on board the ship diagnosed the man with a concussion. However, tests later revealed that the man suffered more serious head injuries. Because of his injuries, the passenger struggles to perform previously routine tasks and was forced to sell his retail business.<\/p>\n
