Brain Injury Lawyers Network

Finding an Atlanta brain injury lawyer is the first step in closing any traumatic brain injury case. An experienced attorney can explain where injuries might occur and how to look for signs that they have begun. The frontal lobe, for instance, is the area of the brain most vulnerable to injuries and yet the most advanced part of the brain. Many doctors feel that if a patient is walking and/or talking then no injury has occurred to the frontal lobe but this is not always the case. If an individual sustains an injury to the frontal lobe it can cause disinhibition which is when individuals lack a “filter” between their thoughts and their speech. In other words, everything they think they end u0p saying regardless of whether the content would be deemed inappropriate. This can create social awkwardness, violence, or problems with addition. The IQ of an individual is not necessarily affected by a traumatic brain injury though their brainpower can be affected which guides decision-making and social interactions. When an individual undergoes a frontal lobe injury they increase their risk for divorce, depression, addiction, and anxiety. With an Atlanta brain injury lawyer at your side, you are well represented.
