Denver Brain Injury Information - Norton Personal Injury Law Offices
Traumatic brain injuries can be devastating to victims and their families.
Every year 1.7 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries are some of the most devastating injuries an individual can face and victims are often left with significant brain damage and permanent disabilities. If your injury occurred in the temporal lobes of your brain, disabilities may leave you unable to communicate the way you used to. As a result, you will need years of rehabilitation and therapy in order to recover and may suddenly find yourself unable to work in your chosen profession. If this occurs, it is best to have an experienced Colorado brain injury attorney on your side.
There are four lobes of the brain. The Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobe and Temporal Lobe. There are two temporal lobes, each located on either side of the brain, about level with the ears. The temporal lobe has many important functions including auditory processing, long-term memory, sorting new information, visual memory, verbal memory and hearing and speech memory.
Damage done to the temporal lobe can be devastating and leave victims with the inability to remember words, understand language and remember important information. If the injury is to the left temporal lobe, damage there could affect a person's ability to recognize words and remember verbal material. On the other side of the brain, damage done to the right temporal lobe could cause a loss of verbal inhibition and could impair a person's ability to recall non-verbal material, such as drawings.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident and sustained damage to the temporal lobes of the brain, it is important to contact a Colorado brain injury attorney immediately, so you can review all of your legal options and choose the one that is best for you.
