Our Los Angeles Heady Injury Lawyer Helps Clients Throughout California

When someone suffers a head injury because of a Los Angeles accident, it is very common for them to suffer a more serious brain injury which may dramatically affect their quality of life. A head injury generally occurs when someone suffers an injury to their spinal cord, head, skull or brain. The most severe type of head trauma is often referred to as a traumatic brain injury. A head injury may either be a closed head injury or an open head injury. A closed head injury may result from either a car accident in which someone hits their head on their windshield or a motorcycle rider who hits his head on the pavement after a motorcycle accident. Head injuries occur so frequently that there are an estimated 1.1 million people who are treated for traumatic brain injuries each year in a hospital.

Head Injury / Head Trauma
Head trauma is one of the most traumatic injuries because it results in permanent physical disabilities. Additionally, a head injury may result in a skull fracture, blood clot or bruising. Some of the most common symptoms someone may suffer includes:

confusion;
clear fluid draining from your nose and / or ears;
lethargy;
loss of consciousness;
no breathing;
no pulse; and
severe bleeding from face or head.

If you have suffered a brain injury, it may have resulted from one of the various types of auto accidents, a slip and fall accident or other physical injury. While many people have suffered a brain injury during their lifetime, very few of these people have needed to seek medical attention because the injuries have not been severe. Statistically, males aged 15 - 24 are the most likely to sufer head injuries because of a car accident or motorcycle accident. Also, about 70% of all accidental deaths and disabilities result from head injuries.
