Trauma-Induced Aphasia
Brain injuries are a complex branch of medicine and have garnered a great deal of attention in recent years as the long term effects of head trauma have seen increased study and understanding. Recent advances in medical science have clearly linked the development of brain injuries as disabilities to head trauma, and while treatment for such conditions are available, they can be prohibitively expensive without financial compensation.
Head trauma victims who experienced an accident because of the negligence of another party should never be left footing the bill for treatment they require for their injuries, and the Atlanta accident attorneys of Webb, Wade & Taylor, LLC, are dedicated to helping these victims fight for the compensation they need. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, call us today at 770-631-1811 to learn more about your legal options.
Aphasia and Its Variations
One of the most common problems a head trauma victim can develop is known as Aphasia. This impairment is the result of damage to brain cells in the speech centers of the brain, and can have serious effects on the victim’s ability to use and understand language. Aphasia can be broken into the following categories:
- Global aphasia, affecting all language skills and abilities
- Pure aphasia, which affects comprehension and execution of written language
- Broca’s aphasia, which is limited to speech problems
- Wernicke’s aphasia, in which the victim has problems understanding spoken language
Treatment for aphasia is available and success can vary from patient to patient, but the limitations placed on the victims are not to be understated. Aphasia can seriously limit an individual’s ability to effectively communicate with others, resulting in a potential loss of income along with other problems.
