Foothill Farms Brain Injury Lawyer

Traumatic brain injuries are some of the most painful conditions after a car or motorcycle accident. Sometimes a brain injury happens due to a slip and fall or another type of accident.

Regardless of how it happens, a head or brain injury can be mild or seriously impact the individual's life. Depending on the part of the brain affected, the injured individual could lose the ability to see, hear, talk to loved ones, or even move their arms and legs.

Certain parts of the brain control someone's personality and emotions. These character traits could also be changed following a severe head injury. People who suffer a head or brain injury will also require extensive rehabilitation to recover close to their baseline. These logistical complications can place a significant amount of stress on a person's family and friends.

Those who suffer neurological damage could face complications or comorbidities for the rest of their life. While this severely impacts the patient's quality of life, it also affects their friends and family members. Examples of actions leading to traumatic brain injuries include:

• Negligence: If someone does not exercise appropriate care and this inaction leads to a traumatic brain injury, the other party could be negligent. Examples of negligent conduct could include the medical field. If a medical professional does not exercise appropriate diagnostic techniques or treatment modalities and the patient suffers a brain injury, they could be held responsible.
• Product Liability: Someone injured while using a defective product could have a claim. For example, the manufacturer could be held responsible if someone suffers a head injury while riding a defective motorcycle.
• Drunk Driving: Everyone has been told not to drink and drive. If someone is intoxicated while behind the wheel of a car, they could collide with another vehicle. The drunk driver could be responsible if someone in that vehicle suffers a severe head injury.
