Brain Damage Leads to Mobile Phone Obsession

A man who was involved in a motorcycle crash has been awarded damages after he had the unfortunate side effect of becoming obsessed with mobile phones due to trauma to his brain. London's High Court heard that Kunal Karl Lindsay became obsessed with playing mobile phone games, and also became "obsessed" with having sex daily.

The court was told that the delivery driver was now unemployable and faced the breakdown of his marriage following the motorcycle crash in September 2002.

Justice Mackay said Mr Lindsay had no motivation to work anymore and would spend hours just playing games on his mobile phone.

The insurers for the other party in the accident agreed to a payment of UK£1.2 million, but are disputing ongoing costs for his mental damage. The hearing has been adjourned pending negotiations between the insurers and lawyers.

If I were a jurer in this, I would argue the fact that he has become obsessed with sex daily, that's a normal thing for any male.

I seriously have a hard time believing any of this... I mean I'm sure he had a motorcycle crash, but after that, I call bull

Well I'm mobile-phone obsessed. I want several million pounds sterling, too!

I can not believe how things in the world are turning to now. I wonder if the complaint about daily sex is from him or his wife.

Well it's certainly possible that a brain injury resulted in a personality change. That happens often with certain kinds of brain injury, particularly injury of the frontal lobe. One thing you see with folks like that is that they lose their inhibitions and stop caring what other people/society think. So if the facts as reported here are true, it's likely that he's just doing what he really wanted to do all along - play with his cell phone and

.

That is, the injury didn't cause any of his obsessions, it merely uncovered what was there already. The point is perhaps an academic one, since a person like this is severely disabled.
