Language Loss from a Brain Injury
When a person sustains an injury to the brain, they may lose a variety of important brain functions as a result. In particular, language loss is a particularly common and frightening issue that many individuals face following a brain injury. Language loss, or aphasia, can seriously impact a person’s life, as it often leaves them unable to communicate fully, or at all, with loved ones, friends, coworkers, and more.
If you or someone you love has suffered from mild to severe language loss as the hands of another person, we may be able to help you obtain compensation for your undue suffering. For more information about how we may be able to assist you in getting the justice and compensation you are seeking, contact a Denver personal injury lawyer of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., today at (303) 423-1770.
Symptoms of Language Loss
A person suffering from aphasia may show some of the following signs:
- Inability to speak fluidly, instead stumbling through sentences and words
- Vocabulary loss
- Inability to say certain words or make certain sounds
- Excessive use of made-up words
- Inability to understand spoken language, although there is no damage to hearing
- Problems with reading and writing as well as speaking or listening
These issues can often be treated or managed. However, treatment and therapy costs can prove to be a substantial financial burden for anyone trying to recover from aphasia. Financial compensation from the responsible party may be available to help a person cover these costs.
