TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY TYPES

Temporal lobe: Processes speech, hearing and memory. Injuries can be subtle but very disabling. MRI results often are normal even in the case of a traumatic brain injury. Neuropsychological testing may be required to prove your case.

Occipital lobe: Processes and interprets visual information. These injuries can affect your ability to learn new material and to earn a living.

Frontal lobe: Governs personality, reasoning, judgment and emotions. An experienced lawyer is necessary to help a jury understand the impact of these injuries on your life and on your family.

Brain stem: Connects the brain to the spinal cord. Brain stem trauma can cause problems with respiration, heart rate, consciousness and mobility. Severe brain stem trauma can cause a vegetative state. Life care planning is often needed.

Comas and seizures: We have experience with clients suffering from a minor TBI, from seizures and from vegetative comas.

We utilize expert testimony to illustrate TBI symptoms, extent and permanency of injury, the potential for recovery and future prognosis.
