Why can't a person smell or taste after a brain injury and if they do they just smell and taste smoke or have a taste like metal?
Loss of smell and taste after a brain injury can occur due to damage to the olfactory nerves or brain regions responsible for processing sensory information. When a person experiences phantom smells of smoke or tastes of metal, it may be due to misfiring neurons in the brain sending incorrect signals. This can lead to distortions in how the brain interprets sensory information, creating the perception of certain smells or tastes.

Pathophysiology of a head injury?
There are many different types of brain injury, depending upon the severity of the force upon the head, as well as which portion of the brain is affected. To simplify, brain injuries can be classified as traumatic or acquired, with additional types under each heading. All brain injuries are described as either mild, moderate, or severe. Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injury is a result of an external force to the brain that results in a change to cognitive, physical, or emotional functioning. The impairments can be temporary or permanent. Types of traumatic brain injury include: * Diffuse axonal injury. Shaking or strong rotation of the head causes brain structures to tear. Nerve tissue is disturbed throughout the brain. * Concussion. Caused by a physical force to the head that causes blood vessels to stretch and cranial nerves to be damaged. * Contusion. A result of a direct impact to the head, which causes bleeding on the brain. * Coup-contrecoup injury. The force to the brain is large enough to cause contusion at the side of impact, as well as the site opposite impact. * Penetration injury. The impact causes a foreign object to penetrate the skull. Acquired Brain Injury An acquired brain injury is an injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or the result of birth trauma. Acquired brain injury generally affects cells throughout the entire brain. Types of acquired brain injury include: • Axnoxic brain injury. This occurs when the brain doesn't receive oxygen.• Hypoxic brain injury. This occurs when the brain receives some, but not enough, oxygen.

A "mild" ABI could be considered as a brain injury which does not have a profound impact on the brain functioning or the sufferers behaviour, or could be considered as temporary.
Impact of traumatic disruption to cranial nerves?
Traumatic disruption to cranial nerves can lead to a variety of symptoms depending on the nerve involved. This can include issues with sensation, movement, or function of affected facial muscles, taste disturbances, changes in vision, hearing, or balance, and difficulties with speech or swallowing. Treatment and prognosis will depend on the extent of the injury and the specific nerves affected.
What kind of lawyer practices brain injury law?
Personal injury lawyers practice brain injury law. These types of lawyers are called brain injury attorneys. They deal with concussions as well as other brain related injuries mainly caused in car accidents. You will need to find an attorney that has a lot of experience dealing with brain injury cases. Don't hire someone who has never handled a brain injury case---they are much more complex than a typical personal injury case.
