SPECIALITY AREASTraumatic Brain InjuryIn an auto accident or truck accident, or an injury caused by a dangerous property condition on private or public property, a direct blow to the head or a severe jolt that causes the brain to hit the skull can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sometimes hard to diagnose, TBI requires knowledgeable medical diagnosis and care. A TBI insurance claim takes the understanding and experience of a traumatic brain injury lawyer. A Tradition of Compassionate, Personalized ServiceSan Francisco Closed Head Injury Attorney Bay Area CaliforniaAccording to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the major causes of traumatic brain injury are falls, traffic accidents, being hit by a moving force (as happens in a pedestrian accident or transit accident ), sports accidents, and assaults involving firearms or blasts. At our traumatic brain injury law firm, we know that TBI can be difficult to diagnose sometimes — especially when the injury is not evident in an MRI, or a CT scan. When it is clear that an accident or assault victim is suffering from TBI, neuropsychological testing can be used. Our TBI accident attorneys have experience handling TBI cases. We know how to present effective claims to insurance companies and juries. A traumatic brain injury can cause short-term and life-long problems:
Recent Examples of How We Have Helped Our Clients $1,578,500 We represented a 12-year old Milpitas girl against the City of Milpitas and a general contractor for constructing a mid-block signalized pedestrian crossing to give greater access to a well-used trail that led to local schools. Once the school year started, the signal lights weren’t yet functional, although there were no warnings for anyone, especially children, to not yet use the crossing. In deposition, a City employee working on the project broke down and admitted that she knew prior to the accident that the non-functioning crossing would be a problem, but she did nothing to correct it. Unfortunately, our client was struck by a van while crossing mid-block and sustained a traumatic brain injury. $1,000,000 Our firm represented a 42-year old X-Ray technician who was walking on the sidewalk when she was struck in the back of the head and neck by a piece of playground equipment which protruded from the bed of a passing pick-up truck. We claimed that the client sustained a neck and traumatic brain injury, causing an extended disability. $462,500 We represented a 25-year old illegal alien restaurant worker who was struck by a left-turning automobile in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury district.
