Dave is experiencing retrograde amnesia caused by brain damage. This means that he can't recall the events that happened before the traumatic crash that caused his injury. In this case, it is caused by his traumatic brain injury. (TBI) However, Dave can still make new memories, because he does not have anterograde amnesia.
