Head Injury

Compassionate Legal Help for Victims of Head and Brain Injuries

A head injury can change your life in an instant. From concussions to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), damage to the brain can affect your ability to think, move, and function in ways you once took for granted. The road to recovery is often long and uncertain — with extensive medical treatment, lost income, and emotional strain.

At Attorney4People, we understand the seriousness of head injuries and the impact they have on victims and their families. Our Long Beach head injury lawyers are dedicated to holding negligent parties accountable and securing the compensation you need for medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery.

Common Causes of Head Injuries

Head injuries can result from many different types of accidents, often due to another person’s careless or reckless actions. Common causes include:

• Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents: Sudden impact or whiplash can cause concussions or traumatic brain injuries.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Falls on wet floors, uneven surfaces, or defective stairs are leading causes of serious head trauma.
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: Collisions with vehicles often result in direct blows to the head.
• Workplace Accidents: Falling objects, equipment malfunctions, or construction accidents can cause brain injuries.
• Sports or Recreational Activities: Contact sports and high-impact activities can lead to concussions or repeated brain injuries.
• Acts of Violence: Assaults or other intentional harm can result in significant brain trauma.

Regardless of how the injury occurred, if negligence played a role, you have the right to pursue compensation.

Types of Head and Brain Injuries

Head injuries vary in severity — some cause temporary symptoms, while others lead to permanent disabilities. Common types include:

• Concussions: Caused by a blow or jolt to the head, leading to dizziness, headaches, and confusion.
• Contusions: Bruising of the brain tissue that can require surgery to relieve pressure.
• Diffuse Axonal Injury: Widespread brain damage resulting from severe shaking or rotational forces.
• Penetrating Brain Injury: When an object breaks through the skull and damages brain tissue.
• Skull Fractures: Often accompanied by swelling, bleeding, or brain damage.
• Anoxic or Hypoxic Brain Injury: Caused by lack of oxygen to the brain following trauma.

These injuries can have profound, long-term consequences on memory, speech, coordination, and behavior — often requiring lifelong care.

Symptoms and Lasting Effects

Even a mild head injury can have lasting effects if not properly treated. Symptoms may include:

• Persistent headaches or migraines
• Dizziness and balance issues
• Nausea or vomiting
• Vision problems or sensitivity to light
• Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
• Mood swings, depression, or anxiety
• Fatigue or sleep disturbances

Because head injuries can worsen over time, early medical evaluation is critical. Our attorneys ensure that your medical evidence accurately reflects the full scope of your injury and its impact on your life.

Compensation for Head Injury Victims

Victims of head and brain injuries may be entitled to significant compensation, including:

• Medical expenses: Emergency treatment, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and future care needs.
• Lost wages: For missed work during recovery and potential loss of future income.
• Pain and suffering: For physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs: Including physical, occupational, and cognitive therapy.
• Long-term disability: Compensation for permanent impairment or loss of independence.
• Loss of consortium: For the impact on relationships and family life.

At Attorney4People, we work with neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, and life care planners to accurately assess your financial and medical needs.
