San Diego Brain Injury Lawyer

San Diego Brain Injury Lawyer

There are so many things that can cause a brain injury. One person might suffer brain damage during a surgical procedure, another after a truck accident on the San Diego Freeway. No matter how it happens, a brain injury can have devastating effects on the victim's life. How can the brain damage victim work when mental and physical abilities have been impaired? What about the brain injury sufferer's quality of life when he or she can no longer take part in normal activities, like taking a long walk or playing catch with a child? And who is going to pay the brain damage victim's medical bills?

If you or someone who love have suffered a brain injury with resulting brain damage, you owe it to yourself to discuss your situation with an experienced San Diego brain injury attorney. A good San Diego brain injury attorney can make sure your legal rights are preserved and that you get the compensation you or your loved one have coming.

The Signs of Brian Damage

It is not always clear that someone who has suffered an accidental head injury has also sustained brain damage. While some brain damage victims will lose motor and mental skills immediately following an accident, others will have a delayed reaction to a brain injury. Pay attention to subtle clues that you or someone you care about have suffered brain damage, including:

• Memory loss or confusion

• Diminishment of the senses of hearing, taste or sight

• Problems with motor skills, such as hand/eye coordination

• Difficulties with maintaining balance

• Weakened muscles

• Paralysis

• Slurred speech or other speech problems

• Personality changes, such as sudden, unexplained anger

• Difficulty getting to sleep or staying awake

• Chronic head, neck or back pain

Without early intervention, brain damage symptoms can worsen and increasingly interfere with the brain injury victim's life. If you suspect that a head injury victim you care about has suffered brain damage, make sure they get a medical evaluation as soon as possible.

Recovering Damages For Brain Injuries

The second most important thing you should do if you suspect you or someone you care about has suffered brain damage is to find out what your legal rights are. If a brain injury was caused by someone else's negligent or intentional act, the victim may be able to recover for:

• Medical costs

• Lost income

• The costs of ongoing life care

• Pain and suffering

• Wrongful death

• Punitive damages

Determining the amount of damages any single brain injury victim is likely to recover is part art and part science. If the case goes to a jury, the jurors' level of concern for the brain damage victim may play a part in the equation. An unsympathetic defendant may also sway a jury members deciding a brain injury case, prompting them to award high damages. Also important are the age and pre-brain injury health and earning capacity of the brain damage sufferer.

Who might be liable for causing a victim's brain damage? That will depend, of course, upon how the brain injury occurred. Did the brain damage result when a delivery truck hit a pedestrian at a San Diego intersection? If so, the brain damage victim's brain injury lawyer might seek compensation from:

• The driver of the truck;

• The business that owned the delivery truck and employed the driver;

• The truck maintenance firm that failed to fix the truck's weak brakes; and

• The town that failed to fix a broken stop sign at the intersection.

Get the Right San Diego Brain Injury Attorney

The importance of obtaining the services of a San Diego brain injury lawyer as soon as possible cannot be overemphasized. The sooner the investigation of the claim can be begun, the stronger will be the brain injury compensation case. That is because proving brain damage is extremely tricky. For example, you cannot always see physical signs of a brain injury. If there were visible wounds, a San Diego brain damage attorney would want to take pictures of those wounds to show to the opposing side and to a jury. The San Diego brain damage lawyer who is hired long after those wounds have healed loses an important piece of evidence that could have helped prove the brain injury case.

How can you choose the right San Diego brain damage lawyer? Make sure you find a lawyer whose firm has a proven track record in pressing brain injury claims. Not only will such a lawyer have the specialized experience a brain damage case requires, he or she will also have professional relationships with the brain injury experts who will be needed to prove your case. These could include doctors, physical therapists and occupational therapists, among others.
