Traumatic brain injuries occur in accidents when people are either struck on the head or subjected to very rapid acceleration or deceleration. Severe brain damage can be inflicted in many different ways. Serious accidents where head trauma occurs can cause damage - often irreversible - to the delicate tissues that make up the brain, one of the most important organs in the human body.

At Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm, we have the experience and resources to handle complex brain injury cases for clients from San Jose and throughout the surrounding areas. Regardless of the type or severity of your brain injury, our top-rated personal injury team is here to help.

The Effects of Brain Injuries

Many people suffer a head injury without knowing it for a number of days, weeks or even months. Symptoms of a brain injury often take time to manifest. While you may have walked away from the accident, it is still possible you may have suffered a subtle head injury. These injuries may go undetected by the initial emergency room doctor.

A common prevailing myth around Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI’s) is that such an injury is only sustained when someone is hit on the head or knocked unconscious. While these may be common circumstances that can result in TBI’s, whiplash sustained in automobile or motorcycle accidents is another leading cause of brain injury. Our attorneys understand the nature of such injuries and the impact they can have on your life. If you have sustained brain trauma due to another person's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Brain trauma and closed head injuries typically result in the following:

• Short- or long-term memory loss
• Cognitive difficulties
• Physical/psychological disabilities
• Speech impediments
• Social impairments
• Coma
• Death

Certain forms of paralysis also often occur. People suffering from a head injury will require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitative therapy and other long-term care. Some brain injuries can be severe enough to leave a person in need of 24-hour-a-day care.

Unlike common orthopedic injuries easily identified by simple X-ray, there is no bright line to identify many types of brain injuries. Even when such an injury is later detected, the symptoms may seem irrelevant at first. Brain trauma, however, can become progressively more debilitating with age, and even result in permanent disability.
