Riverside Brain Injury Attorney

Spine Injury Lawyer in Riverside

A brain or spinal injury can cause serious medical conditions such as brain and nerve damage. Traumatic brain injury is the designation for brain damage resulting from an external factor or force. An example of an external force which could cause traumatic brain injury is whiplash. In a car accident scenario, whiplash can actually injure the brain severely through rapid deceleration of the vehicle in motion, causing the brain to hit the wall of the cranium. This can result in torn brain fiber, bleeding and swelling. An example of a non-traumatic brain injury would be a stroke. In this case there is not an external force causing the injury, however, the resultant damage may still be severe. It is crucial to contact a Riverside brain injury attorney in this situation to determine your legal options related to the claim for compensation and recovery of damages.

Brain and Spine Injury Cases in Riverside

The brain and spine are similar in that they are both control centers for the rest of your body to communicate through. When they are damaged, it is critical to receive the best care and try to return their normal function where this is possible. In some spinal cord injury (SCI) cases, a permanent disability such as paraplegia or quadriplegia is the tragic result. These cases require the hard work and dedication of the legal team at the Law Offices of Gerald L. Marcus.
