What Happens When You Get a Brain Injury in Different Areas of Your Brain?

The human brain is incredibly complex, weighing in at around 3 pounds and consuming roughly 20% of the blood and oxygen in the body. There are many distinct parts of the brain, each one providing different physical, cognitive, and emotional functions. For example, the frontal lobe is responsible for concentration, attention, personality, expressive language such as speaking, and judgment. That is why an injury to this part of the brain may change your personality or ability to control emotions. Another example is the temporal lobe, which controls memory, hearing, and understanding language. Therefore, an injury to this part of the brain could impact memory and communication. The brain stem affects breathing, arousal, heart rate, and consciousness. A brain stem injury is extremely dangerous because it controls involuntary functions that are crucial for survival.

How Much Your Body Parts Are Worth In Workers’ Compensation
Employees who are permanently injured or lose a limb due to workplace accidents or hazards are typically compensated by their employer for the harm done to their body and future lost wages. Unfortunately, benefits vary wildly from state to state. Congress permits each state to determine workers’ compensation benefits with no minimums set by the federal government. In the Unite States, the average maximum compensation for an arm is $169,878.

However, if you work in Alabama, you may only be given a maximum payout of $48,840 if you lose an arm. Nevada offers the most at $859,634. Shockingly, the US average compensation for a lost arm is only $169,878. Another major variance is the compensation for losing a leg. The United States average is $153,211. Nevada is the most generous once again, offering $457,418 for a lost leg, which is a stark contrast to Alabama’s mere $44,000.
