Grass Valley Brain Injury Lawyer

A traumatic brain injury is often life-altering and may necessitate years of medical care, and that is if you are fortunate enough to survive. According to the CDC, traumatic brain injuries are a significant cause of disability and death in the U.S. and are cited in approximately 30 percent of all injury deaths. In fact, each and every day, over 150 people lose their lives from injuries, including brain injuries.

If survived, a severe brain injury can create a range of adverse life outcomes, including constant distraction and inability to focus on work or even permanent disability. The financial consequences of a traumatic brain injury can also be a harsh shock to a family's finances, resulting in mounting medical bills and a reduced household income.

Because of the severe nature of this type of injury, if you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury, you should contact an attorney immediately to discuss your legal options. The medical costs resulting from this type of injury make exploring the possibility of a lawsuit worthwhile.

If you or a loved one have suffered a brain injury due to someone else's negligence, please call our experienced brain injury attorneys at (530) 392-9400 or (800) 404-5400 for a free consultation.

Significant causes of brain injuries include serious collisions between two cars, a collision between a car and a commercial semi-truck, a pedestrian being hit by a vehicle, a motorcyclist being hit by a car, etc. These accidents can leave a driver or vehicle occupant brain injured by a jolt or blow to the head. The severity of a traumatic brain injury may range from "mild" to "severe."

Another common way people suffer brain injuries is by a preventable error during a medical procedure. If you undergo surgery or other methods and are suddenly deprived of oxygen for an extended period, you can develop anoxia. This will result in significant damage to your brain.

A traumatic brain injury is one of the most devastating bodily injuries a human can endure. The financial ramifications of a brain injury can be enormous, especially when the injured person requires a lifetime of medical care and is deemed unable to return to their job. Many insurance companies will do all they can to try and reduce or deny liability. Due to the complexity and technical nature of brain injury cases, you need someone well-versed in this area of law to help guide you through the litigation process. An experienced Grass Valley brain injury lawyer is best suited to review the facts of your particular case and assess the best legal strategy going forward. A lawyer can also help protect your legal rights by filing a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations.

If you or a family member suffered a brain injury in an accident, you are probably struggling with the financial strain that comes with enduring a life-altering injury in an unexpected accident. You may be concerned about the cost associated with hiring an attorney. Thankfully, most Grass Valley brain injury lawyers work on a contingency fee. Basically, this means you do not pay your lawyer an hourly fee. The lawyer's fee is paid contingent upon money being recovered for you. You typically do not owe the lawyer anything if no money is recovered.

Many brain injuries result from the negligence of another person or entity. Victims working with an experienced attorney may be able to seek compensation through the civil justice system. A personal injury claim will enable you to seek financial restitution for the following harms and losses:

• Your medical bills will likely be significant, considering what is needed to treat a brain injury.
• Lost income due to your inability to return to work.
• Lost earning capacity if you are deemed permanently disabled and unable to work again.
• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.

If you or a loved one have suffered a brain injury because of the disregard or negligence of another person, please call our experienced brain injury attorneys in Grass Valley at (530) 392-9400 or (800) 404-5400 for free and friendly advice with no obligation. We can also be reached online.
