Agnosia Caused by Head Trauma
There are over 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries every year across the United States. These injuries can lead to devastating brain disorders including agnosia, which affects people’s ability to sort through information they collect through the ears, eyes, and other sensory organs. Unfortunately, rehabilitating from a head injury could take weeks or even months, keeping injured individuals away from work while simultaneously preventing them from earning the wages they need to pay for medical bills.
If you or someone you know has suffered a brain injury while on the job, take action today to make sure you don’t also suffer financially. Contact a tenacious Pennsylvania workers’ compensation lawyer of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511 and let us help you file for the financial benefits you need to cover medical expenses during your recovery.
Symptoms of Agnosia
Sensory organs like the eyes and ears collect information before sending it to the brain to process. Agnosia can interfere with the brain’s ability to process this information, causing a person to suffer from any of the following symptoms:
- Difficulty differentiating or identifying colors
- Trouble understanding language
- Inability to speak
- Trouble recognizing familiar people or sounds
If you now suffer from agnosia due to a workplace accident, you may be entitled to Pennsylvania workers’ compensation to help you with any treatment or rehabilitation you need to recover from this accident.
