I have problems with my own left hand, though not so bad that a gamepad is unusable. Hope he improves soon.
Look at some RPGs you can play with the mouse like Shadowrun Returns.
Would non Steam games be acceptable?

He isn't really a pc gamer so its probably simpler to just keep all the games in one place, plus he is a bit forgetful due to his brain injury sometimes so its best to keep the usernames/passwords to a minimum. So steam only. Simpler that way.

Blue Toad Murder Files is part of the Blink Bundle. Also, I enjoyed To The Moon, kind of a story driven point and click game. He may also enjoy "Time Gentlemen, Please!" and "Ben There, Dan That!". Also point and click, but the controls are a little weird to get used to.
Edit: ALSO! Been a while, but I think that "Don't starve" is mainly mouse driven, as well as "Octodad: Dadliest Catch" (though you can play with keyboard)

At the top of my head:
Audiosurf 2
Puzzle quest
Race the sun
10,000,000
McPixel
Any telltale games (I think so)
Fieldrunners 1 or 2
Any game here except gone home

Faerie Solitaire, Syberia 1&2 and puzzle kingdoms are good with a mouse. Would recommend Ceville, Nightmares from the deep : The Cursed Heart (or any by the makers of this), Legend of Fae.
Possible Magic the gathering 2012, 2013 or 2014, The Kings Bounty Series, Might and Magic Series.

X-com can be played mouse only, it's a turn based action-shooter against aliens. The base game is amazing(and hard), the DLCs are worthy.
As for your maybes: Faery solitare is a card game, nothing special, an OK game. I've played Syberia 1&2 thoose are OK too, point and click adventure games.
What I would suggest you is Civ 5, I think it was in a pervious bundle also, even the base game is very fun, challenging, and kinda unlimited replayability.

From your maybe list faerie solitaire, the 39 steps and hero of the kingdom are all playable mouse only

Hearthstone (not-steam, blizzard's game, free to play, 100% mouse, card game, so much fun)
You can check this game 5 days later, dunno if it is playable with one hand keyboard. But it looks so much fun, I'm waiting for release to buy.
I think tycoon games are playable with only mouse (like city xl, simcity, roller coaster tycoon 3 -so fun-) too bad i gifted Cities in Motion 2 to my friend :/
Super Hexagon from your list is playable with 2 buttons only, so one hand :)
McPixel from your list is playable with only mouse, but worst game (is it even a game) I've ever played
I'm not sure if limbo is playable with one hand keyboard? If it is possible i can gift
BTW will he/she get better? Is he/she going for physiotherapy?

He has been doing lots of therapy for several months now and unfortunately still has problems. Its looking like he is probably going to walk with a limp the rest of his life and probably always have trouble with his left arm too. There is always hope that he might get better, but the swelling in his brain was so great they had to take out chunks of his brain twice to keep him alive. :/

Cthulhu Saves The World is a fun retro-RPG with turn based battles
it's not mouse-only, but it can easily be played with 1 hand on the keyboard, no need for mouse input.

Unholy heights is a cute and fun tower defense game, and you can buy it for $4!
Also, I recommend Deponia series.

Civ is purely mouse driven, excellent choice. Extremely high replay value due to the gazillions of ways the games can play out due to options and choices. While it's not on Steam, D2, or any of the better Diablo clones can be played purely via mouse. Torchlight is pretty decent, iirc only would need occasional, low intensity key presses to do things like open the inventory...may even have click options.

Thank you everyone for your help. I gave my friend a new steam account containing almost 50 games.
So a while back a very good friend of mine had a skateboarding accident where he landed on his head and got severely hurt. To this day he is still having trouble controlling the left side of his body correctly and he can't even play games with a controller anymore. I have a huge list of games I've collected through bundles, but I haven't played all of them so I don't know all the games that are fun + can be played with the mouse only or at least 90% with the mouse.
Here is my list of games. If anyone has any suggestions either from my list or maybe something I don't own that fits the criteria. Either way your suggestions would be appreciated. If anyone has any indie bundle games that would be perfect for my friend that I don't have I would happily buy them from you for a reasonable price.
Games collected so far:
Great picks I'm looking to buy/trade for:
Again, any suggesions would be appreciated.
