Life-Threatening Brain Injuries
Brain injuries that involve seizures, brain hemorrhages (bleeding within the brain) or coma are extremely serious and can involve permanent disability and immediate or premature death.
At Biren | Katzman Trial Lawyers in Los Angeles, our lawyers understand the causes and mechanisms of brain injuries and know how to help clients recover compensation for the full extent of damages. We also represent the family members of those who died a wrongful death due to a brain injury.
Seizures
Seizures can occur immediately following a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury — or they may not develop until weeks, months or years after the initial accident. Post-traumatic epilepsy, a condition involving seizures related to the original head trauma, can drastically impact every aspect of the victim’s life.
Brain Hemorrhage
Blood can destroy brain tissue, whether it escapes from blood vessels within the brain as in some types of stroke, or is released as a result of trauma. That is why a brain hemorrhage can have such devastating consequences. If you or a family member has suffered a brain hemorrhage (also called a cerebral hemorrhage), our brain injury attorneys can help you assess whether negligence was involved. If so, we will aggressively pursue financial compensation for damages from the responsible party.
Coma
Coma is a state of unconsciousness. The prognosis for people with comas is always guarded, at best. Coma is measured by the Glasgow Coma Scale, which rates the patient's verbal, eye and motor responses; patients are graded from 3 (most severe coma) to 15 (normal functioning). The more severe the coma, the greater the likelihood that there will be severe cognitive and emotional consequences that will have long lasting impact on the person.
Our attorneys have successfully represented clients who have suffered brain hemorrhages, seizures and comas due to the negligence of others. To discuss how we may be able to help you, please contact us today to arrange a free consultation and case evaluation. Call toll free 866-604-5887.
