San Diego Head Injuries

According to the United States National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, over a million people each year suffer head injuries.

Head injuries generally include trauma to any part of the head, including the scalp, skull, face, and brain. Because the brain is housed in the skull, the terms head injury and brain injury are often used interchangeably.

As the most prominent feature of the head, the skull provides a protective cavity for the brain and gives shape to the head and face. When external forces acting on the body are strong enough, the hard skull itself becomes dangerous to the soft brain tissue that lies within.

While many head injuries are not serious, causing bumps and bruising that subside with time, half a million people each year are injured seriously enough to be hospitalized.

Facing a future radically altered by severe head injury is catastrophic. No one plans for the pruning of potential that occurs when neural brain cells are twisted and crushed beyond recovery. Few individuals have insurance benefits that adequately provide for:

• Long-term high-quality medical care
• Adaptive equipment, training, and psychological counseling
• Loss of income
• Serious head injury often gives rise to legal claims for long-term compensation to address these expenses and improve quality of life.

As you consult law firms working with head injury, notice which attorney or group of lawyers puts you at ease with their honesty and knowledge. Ask for detail of head injury cases handled similar to yours. Obtain references from former clients. What is their reputation in the San Diego legal community?
• Consider costs upfront. Ask about payment. Does your lawyer charge hourly? Many excellent attorneys handling head injury will work on a contingent fee basis requiring no legal fees until compensation is obtained via settlement or verdict.
