San Diego Brain Injury Attorney

Fighting For the Rights of the Injured in San Diego Since 1979

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, some 1.7 million instances of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are reported each year. TBI is typically caused by external forces that disrupt the normal functioning power of the brain. The external force can be caused by a fall, jolt, bump or accident and can result in injuries from mild to severe. A mild case of TBI typically manifests itself as a temporary change in mental status, while a severe case typically manifests itself as a more extended change such as a prolonged state of unconsciousness or amnesia regarding the events leading up to the injury. An experienced San Diego Brain Injury Attorney such as Gary Sernaker is able to review the circumstances surrounding your case and determine if you or your loved one suffering from a traumatic brain injury is eligible for compensation from the at-fault party.

There are several reasons why a person may experience a traumatic brain injury. Perhaps the person slipped on a wet floor and landed on his or her head. Perhaps the injury was sustained during a traffic accident. It is also possible that something fell on or was thrown at the person’s head. Maybe the injury was sustained as the result of a pure accident, or because another person intentionally attempted to cause the injury. No matter how a victim’s TBI was sustained, if the injury could have been prevented, then that victim may have a valid claim for damages against the person or entity responsible for causing the injury.
