Brain Injury Attorney in Oxnard
Compassionate Counsel. Aggressive Advocacy.
There are few injuries more devastating than those affecting the brain. Even relatively minor head trauma can have serious, long-lasting consequences. Traumatic brain injuries tend to have life-altering effects, both for the victim and his or her family and loved ones.
If you or your loved one suffered a brain injury as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the negligent party or parties. Although financial compensation cannot negate the trauma and suffering you have been through, it can help with the ongoing cost of medical care, lost income and earning ability, emotional distress, and other damages often associated with these types of personal injuries.
Our Oxnard brain injury lawyers can help you determine who is at fault for the accident that led to your or your loved one’s brain injury. From there, we can act as your compassionate guide and aggressive advocate throughout each stage of the legal process.
We serve clients throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Call our office at (805) 628-4967 to schedule a free consultation.
Types of Brain Injuries
There are many different types of brain injuries and various degrees of head trauma. Though some injuries are less severe than others, almost all brain injuries will require some level of medical attention.
Some of the most common types of brain injuries include:
- Concussions
- Hematomas
- Skull fractures
- Hemorrhaging
- Edema (swelling)
- Diffuse axonal injuries
Symptoms of brain injuries vary but typically include dizziness, headache, loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, loss of muscle control, and more. The consequences of a brain injury generally depend on the severity of the trauma but can include temporary and/or permanent incapacitation, memory loss, loss of motor skills, and even death.
How Brain Injuries Occur
Brain injuries usually result from serious accidents, including car, motorcycle, or truck accidents; slip and fall accidents; pedestrian or bicycle accidents; workplace accidents; police brutality; and more. Often, these accidents are the result of someone else’s careless, reckless, or intentional behavior. A drunk driver, for instance, might run a red light, causing an accident that results in a traumatic brain injury. A construction worker may fall from scaffolding on a job site and suffer a concussion as a result.
Damages for Traumatic Brain Injury Claims
Victims of traumatic brain injuries caused by another party's negligence may be eligible to pursue compensation for a variety of damages, including:
- Present and future medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income and lost earning potential
- Emotional distress
Brain injury victims may sometimes be able to seek additional punitive damages in cases where the responsible party acted with egregious negligence or intentionally caused their injuries. Our team of attorneys can review the circumstances of your accident and build a case that maximizes your chances of securing the compensation you deserve.
