Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury, commonly referred to as TBI, can occur in any traumatic event, such as a car accident, a slip-and-fall, negligent surgery or drug reactions. The symptoms can vary greatly and can include anything from mild changes in mood or personality to paralysis or death.
It is often difficult to diagnose TBI from a closed head injury. A closed head injury occurs where the brain is knocked against the skull, without the skull actually cracking. A victim can suffer serious injuries from this impact. If you have suffered a TBI or you suspect that a loved one has been injured, our Oakland, California, brain injury attorneys can help you bring a claim.
Frontal Lobe Injuries
The frontal lobe of the brain controls our personalities and moods. It also controls our ability to reason, plan and access memories. An injury to the frontal lobe, either in a severe accident or due to an error in surgery, can have devastating results, including:
- Severe mood changes
- Personality shifts
- Poor planning
- Memory problems
- Increased aggression
- Poor concentration
- Loss of inhibitions
At our firm, we will work with you or your loved one to build your personal injury case. We will work to secure the compensation you need to move forward after your frontal lobe injury.
Cerebral Hemorrhage
A cerebral hemorrhage occurs when there is bleeding in the brain. We help clients who have suffered all types of cerebral hemorrhages, including subdural hematomas as well as subarachnoid and subgaleal hemorrhages.
If you or a loved one suffered from a hemorrhage in an accident or due to medical malpractice, our attorneys can help. Our attorneys have experience helping clients with all types of brain injuries, and we will work to secure the compensation you need and deserve.
Encephalomalacia
Encephalomalacia, or cerebromalacia, is a softening or loss of brain tissue. It occurs when the blood is restricted in an accident, in surgery or in the womb. The resulting effects of encephalomalacia can include a wide range of altered brain functions, including mood, motor function, memory and balance.
If you or a loved one was injured in an accident, our California brain injury attorneys can represent you. We will vigorously investigate and prepare your brain injury case.
Hypoxic, Anoxic and Ischemic Injuries
Hypoxic-anoxic and ischemic brain injuries occur when there is a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can occur in a wide variety of situations, including:
- Lack of blood to the brain after an accident, in a stroke or in surgery
- Respiratory arrest or breathing problems
- Choking or drowning
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Birth injury
If you or a loved one has suffered from a hypoxic, anoxic or ischemic brain injury, our attorneys can assist you. As experienced Bay Area brain trauma lawyers, we provide clients with diligent case preparation and experienced trial representation.
