Unless the justice was permanently brain damaged, the Supreme Court would proceed hearing cases with eight justices until the injured justice was well enough to return or resigned/retired due to disability. According to Article III of the Constitution, US Supreme Court justices are granted a lifetime commission, and are entitled to keep their jobs until they die, retire or resign (barring impeachment), as long as they are able to recover sufficiently to fulfill the duties of their office.
