Our lawyers work with neurologists and other medical experts to assess a client's prognosis. Certified life care planners, economists and other experts help project the lifetime costs of living with a temporary or frontal lobe injury.
About Frontal Lobe Brain Injuries
The frontal lobe is located immediately behind the forehead. It is involved in executive functions of the brain, including reasoning, planning, concentration, emotions, memory, speech, impulse control and problem solving. The elements of one's personality reside in the frontal lobe.
One of our clients with a frontal lobe injury shows no sign of cognitive impairment, but she has lost her ability to control her impulses. She must have an attendant with her at all times or she may run into traffic or engage in other risky behaviour.
The frontal lobe of the brain is vulnerable to injury from impact sustained in vehicle crashes, falls and other accidents. You can sustain a frontal lobe injury without a direct blow to the forehead. Impact from the side and rear can also injure this area of the brain.
About Temporal Lobe Brain Injuries
The brain's two temporal lobes are located on the sides of the head, near the ears. The temporal lobe is involved in processing of sounds and scents, multitasking, long-term memory, language and other functions. Injuries to the temporal lobe can affect mood, behaviour, language and sensory processing. People with temporal lobe injuries may be unable to recognize words or faces. They may lose the ability to focus on specific sights or sounds and suffer short-term memory loss.
Even a relatively mild brain injury can cause permanent damage. Our lawyers can help you assess your legal options. To arrange a free initial consultation, please contact us by e-mail or call toll free 888-494-8201. From offices in Toronto, we represent clients throughout southern Ontario.
