Traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes brain damage. TBI can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. Outcome can be anything from complete recovery to permanent disability or death. A coma can also affect a child's brain.

I haven't had a seizure, but are seizures really common after tbi? I'm a year and 3 months past my accident, but should I still worry?

No, don't worry about things you are not having occur. Just focus on the injuries you do have.

I got seizures from front lobe area, usually just seconds or blink of an eye blanks. But erases memories. Started almost straight away, still does, and a few years now. You have enough to think about, dont worry over something that may never happen. You dont need to stress about things, wont help you now, and if they ever for some reason do, you deal with it then.

I would say you are ok. but things like seziures could start anytime for anyone, seemingly for no reason but although I am not a doctor I would say if you have gone so long without one you are probably ok and they should not happen because of your tbi.
I am over 4 years past mine and have never had one. I am sure you have enough other problems to worry about them so don't worry about problems that are not there

I agree with Aust and Nat. Worry is not the word. More... idk... concerned. A;so depends on past epileptic history.
