Head and Spinal Injury Lawyers in Northern California

Injuries to the head, brain, and spine can be very serious. Those who suffer these types of injuries often suffer significant pain and discomfort, and the effects can include temporary, long-term, or even permanent disability.

For individuals whose serious brain or spinal injuries occur due to the negligence of another person or party, nothing can truly compensate for the losses they and their families suffer. But by working with a qualified brain or spinal injury attorney in Yolo, Solano, and Napa Counties from Wells, Call, Clark, Bennett & Clawson—a top personal injury law firm in Northern California—victims can seek financial coverage for medical costs, lost wages due to missed work time, and emotional losses associated with their injuries.

Brain injuries

According to the National Center for Injury Prevention, 1.5 million Americans suffer brain injuries in accidents annually—500,000 of whom are children. Preventable accidents that could lead to brain injury include automobile crashes, construction site accidents, medical errors, exposure to toxic chemicals, and product injury.

Typically, acquired brain injuries are classified as either traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or anoxic/hypoxic brain injuries. TBI occurs when there is a trauma to the head and/or brain. Brain injury attorneys often work with clients who are victims of TBIs sustained in accidents, such as concussions, contusions, or penetrations from weapons or other objects.

Anoxic or hypoxic brain injuries occur when there is limited or restricted flow of blood or oxygen to the brain. Typical causes include the following:

  • Airway obstructions
  • Choking
  • Strangulation
  • Head or neck trauma
  • Near-drowning
  • Crash injuries to the chest
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning

Spinal injuries

Injuries to the spine occur in many different ways. When negligence is involved, such as in the following instances, victims and their loved ones can speak to a spinal injury lawyer to seek the compensation they deserve.

  • Automobile accidents (account for more then 40 percent of all spinal injuries)
  • Work accidents
  • Acts of violence
  • Recreational injuries (sports or other physical activity, especially when lack of adequate child supervision is concerned)
