Brain Injury Lawyer Gilroy, CA
Brain Injury Lawyer Gilroy, CA
Brain injuries can change your life, and often can impact an entire family. If you have a moderate to severe brain injury, there’s a good chance that a family member may be thrust into the role of a caregiver. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) cause permanent brain damage and could trigger the inst of cognitive decline. Many seriously injured victims may be unable to work again or work in the same capacity they could before.
Even with the best treatment and care, we often see victims who have been permanently changed. A Gilroy, CA, brain injury lawyer could fight for a fair settlement if your brain injury was caused by another party’s negligence. At Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm, Inc., we handle complicated brain injury claims, fighting for victims like you and their families. Contact our firm today for a free consultation.
What Does A Gilroy Brain Injury Lawyer Do?
We help brain injury victims take legal action against the entity or person who caused the accident and injury. If your brain injury was caused by negligence, you have the right to file a suit for compensatory damage. This may include filing suit against the driver who struck you on a bicycle, a medical professional who committed malpractice, the property owner or manager of a swimming pool or amusement park, or the foreman of a construction site if you were hit by a falling object.
We calculate the value of your medical care, including any future treatment (such as a stay in a memory care home). Your attorney also estimates the economic impact the brain injury has on your employability and job prospects. You may be unable to continue in the same line of work you did before, and so your settlement should include lost wages and loss of earning potential.
We gather the necessary evidence to prove the defendant’s negligence and then file the suit according to California personal injury laws. We can also be the main point of contact with the other party, so you can focus on recovery with less stress.
Brain Injuries Can Change Your Life
Once you suffer a brain injury, like head trauma or one due to lack of oxygen, you stand a higher chance of re-injury. Subsequent injuries can significantly exacerbate the damage. You may not realize the extent of the injury, chalking it up to cloudy thoughts. However, without care and treatment, the injury could worsen, making it almost impossible for you to care for yourself without assistance.
It’s not unusual for brain injury victims to experience personality changes, including mood swings, irritability, difficulty forming thoughts or speaking, or even executing higher-level reasoning and thoughts.
