Tucson Brain Injury
The human brain is truly a marvel. It produces our thoughts and governs our emotions, tells our muscles when and how to move and controls all of our senses. Most of us don't really think about how vital our brains are to almost everything we do, but when a person sustains a brain injury, he or she becomes all too aware of this fact. A brain injury may cause only temporary, mild symptoms, or it may change an individual's personality so drastically that family and friends feel the loved one they once knew so well has disappeared.
Different parts of the brain carry out different functions, so it is the location as well as the severity of a Tucson brain injury that will determine the effects of the trauma. Injuries can occur to any of the following regions: brain stem, frontal lobe, cerebellum, occipital lobes, parietal lobe and temporal lobes. A single trauma can also damage two or more regions. Some of the consequences associated with injuries to each region are as follows:
- Brain stem: Balance problems and sleep disturbances
- Frontal lobe: Issues related to judgment, emotional responses and reasoning
- Cerebellum: Difficulties with voluntary movement and balance
- Occipital lobes: Vision
- Parietal lobe: Impairments in perception related to touch
- Temporal lobes: Issues related to hearing, memory and emotion
After a head injury, both the victim and his or her loved ones need to accept that life may never be quite the same again. This will obviously be difficult, and dealing with the expenses often incurred during the recovery period can make it even harder. That is why you need excellent legal representation in situations where someone else caused a brain injury through negligence or willful disregard for the victim's well-being.
