San Francisco Brain Injury Attorneys

The human brain is the control center for every activity we need to survive and flourish. It is a delicate and complex organ, susceptible to injury in various ways.

Over 2 million Americans sustain traumatic brain injuries (TBI) each year from external forces. Acquired brain injuries, caused by conditions or illnesses, are another type of head injury. If a negligent party causes the illness, the victim may be entitled to compensation. Examples include exposure to toxic chemicals or oxygen deprivation due to a botched medical procedure.

If someone else is responsible for a brain injury, it is crucial to seek legal representation to fight for maximum compensation. Medical expenses for treating head and brain injuries can be astronomical, often requiring long-term care. Victims of these injuries may suffer serious consequences, and even minor concussions can have lifelong negative impacts.

Brain trauma can lead to physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments. Effects may be short-term or cause irreversible damage, devastating the lives of victims and their families. 

  • Physical Impairments: Difficulty with coordination and balance, decreased strength, and fine motor skill challenges.
  • Cognitive Defects: Trouble with information processing, perception, memory, and speech.
  • Psychological Effects: Marked personality and mood changes.
 
Different Types of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can be separated into those occurring before or during birth and those that are acquired during one’s lifetime. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are the most serious acquired brain injuries, while hypoxic and anoxic brain damage are the most serious prenatal and birthing brain injuries.
 
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Caused by external force impacting the head or neck resulting in blows to the head or aggressive twisting of the neck. Scenarios include falls, recreational accidents, motor vehicle accidents, bicycle accidents, violence, and vigorous shaking (e.g., shaken baby syndrome). Read More >
  • Hypoxic and Anoxic Brain Damage: Caused by lack of oxygen to the brain due to blocked airways, umbilical cord problems, or placental disruptions. Medical professional actions, such as extending strenuous labor or improper use of tools, can also cause these injuries. Read More >
