Frontal Lobe Brain Injury Information

Colorado Brain Injury Lawyers Buxton & Luther, P.C.

Injuries to the brain can have devastating and lifelong consequences for both victims and their families. When dealing with a brain injury, symptoms can vary greatly, depending on the location of the injury. The brain is comprised of 6 main sections: Frontal lobes, Parietal lobes, Temporal lobes, Occipital Lobes, the Brain stem and the Cerebellum.

The frontal lobes of the brain are located in the forehead and can be injured in a variety of ways:

• Automobile accidents
• Falls
• Assault and Battery
• Sports Accidents
• Whiplash
• Blows to the front, back or sides of the head
• Medical Negligence

The frontal lobes of the brain are responsible for mood, language, personality, judgment, attention and foresight, ability to plan and execute plans (executive functioning), sense of smell and interpersonal behavior. Any injury to this section of the brain can grossly affect nearly every aspect of life including the ability to work, maintain relationships and enjoy a high quality of life. While symptoms of a frontal lobe brain injury vary greatly from patient to patient, there are several distinguishing symptoms to watch for.

Symptoms of a Frontal Lobe Brain Injury:

• Paralysis or partial paralysis
• Mood changes (emotionally unstable)
• Changes in personality and social nature
• Difficulty with problem solving and making decisions
• Language difficulties (Broca's Aphasia)
• Trouble concentrating and focusing
• Inability to plan sequence of complex steps (Sequencing)
• Trouble interacting with others
• Perseveration (repeating same thing over and over again)
• Sexual difficulties

If you or someone you love has suffered from a frontal lobe brain injury, it is important to seek medical help immediately. Prompt medical intervention can make an amazing difference in recovery time and reduce the severity of disabilities. If your brain injury was the result of another party's negligence, it is also equally important to contact a brain injury attorney immediately. Compensation will be needed to pay for medical expenses, recovery time, rehabilitation and future medical treatments. In addition to present and future medical expenses, compensation may be needed to pay for loss wages and decreased quality of life. In addition to filing the necessary claims on your behalf, your attorney will be able to negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that all of your needs are met—now and in the future.

Brain Injuries can be devastating to everyone involved and their effects can have far reaching consequences. If you or a loved one's brain has been injured as a result of the negligence of another, please contact our Colorado brain injury attorneys immediately. Your first consultation is always FREE!
