Helping Brain Injury Victims and Their Families
There was no blood, no noticeable injury, "just" a bump on the head. That is often the reaction to closed head injuries — even by doctors. It is usually a family member or someone close to the victim who notices a problem — slurred speech, memory problems, mood swings, confusion.
Because our lawyers have represented many brain injury victims, we are well aware of the evolving science concerning head injuries. A concussion causes the brain to take a severe beating, banging from one side of the skull to another, and yet the victim may be accused of faking injury.
It takes a team to fully understand the seriousness of a brain injury.
For more than 40 years, Girardi | Keese attorneys have had experiences with clients suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI). We know that the problems are very real, but it takes a team of physicians and neuropsychologists using imaging, studies and tests to determine the extent of the brain injury.
A skull fracture or hematoma is easier to see, but there remains the problem of establishing the seriousness of the injury and determining possible therapies that might restore some brain capacity.
Therapy for a head injury requires time, money and the right doctors.
Doctors and scientists are learning more every day about changing pathways in the brain to improve brain function. Therapy is costly, however, so our personal injury lawyers investigate the head injury accident, find all liable parties and seek maximum compensation. Many brain injury victims also require long-term care.
Our lawyers understand the medical issues surrounding head injury. Using a network of experts, we help victims of brain damage as well as their families. We represent clients in California and nationwide. Contact us for an appointment.
