The brain is the single most important organ in the body. It controls every single other part of the body, regulating every movement and action, both voluntary and involuntary. Everything from the control of the heartbeat, to breathing, to translating sensations received from the body through the nervous system, and even the conscious movement of limbs and muscles are all controlled by the brain. It also houses every memory, storing and cataloguing the entirety of a person's life including their experiences and the collective knowledge of their entire lifetime. Brain injuries are often caused by accidents due to the negligence of a property owner or company, or medical malpractice as in birth injuries. A St. Louis brain injury lawyer can assist the family and victims who have suffered brain injuries by offering expert legal guidance for their case.
Whenever the brain suffers damage, the important functions that the brain serves for the body can be damaged, interrupted or even severed entirely from functioning. Memory loss, an inability to speak, hearing damage, blindness, paralysis, and even death can all result from brain injuries. Overall, brain injuries can severely alter a person's lifestyle, including permanently taking away certain opportunities which might have otherwise been pursued with uninhibited physical or mental abilities.
