Get Our Chatsworth Brain Injury Attorneys On Your Side

The Los Angeles County Department of Health reports more than one million people throughout our area suffer personal injuries each year. Bumps, blows, and jolts to the head are among the most common. In Chatsworth, even a relatively minor accident can result in traumatic brain injuries (TBI). In addition to being potentially life-threatening, TBI can leave victims suffering permanent disabilities. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we act as a strong ally on your side when brain injuries happen. While you focus on your recovery, our Chatsworth brain injury attorneys focus on getting you the compensation you are entitled to in a claim. Common causes of traumatic brain injuries in cases we handle include:

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents;
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents;
• Accidents that occur on another’s property, such as slips, falls, or getting struck by objects;
• Sports and recreational accidents;
• Accidents due to dangerous and defective products;
• Any type of accident or altercation resulting in brain injuries.

What Are Common Types of Brain Injuries?

The terrain and the number of public parks throughout the area draw people of all ages to Chatsworth. Unfortunately, our active, outdoor lifestyle makes accidents resulting in brain injuries more likely to happen. Healthline reports that concussions are one of the most common brain injuries, occurring when bumps or jolts cause the brain to shift and slam into the skull. Other common types include:

• Contusions, or bleeding within the brain;
• Coup-contrecoup brain injuries, which is when bleeding occurs on both sides of the brain;
• Diffuse axonal brain injuries, resulting from damage to brain tissues;
• Penetrating brain injuries, which is when a sharp object penetrates the skull, piercing the brain.

When any type of brain injury occurs, you can count on Harris Personal Injury Lawyers to help you get the compensation you need to recover. Our Chatsworth brain injury attorneys determine how it happened and who is to blame.

How Do Brain Injuries Happen?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that in addition to being one of the most common types of personal injuries, brain injuries are also one of the most preventable. They typically happen due to the reckless actions of others, such as:

• Reckless driving, such as speeding and driving distracted or under the influence;
• Recklessness on the part of property owners in failing to maintain the premises;
• Failure on the part of sports or recreational groups to follow standard safety precautions;
• Failure on the part of product manufacturers to pull dangerous products or provide proper instructions for use.

What Compensation Am I Entitled To For Brain Injuries?

Brain injuries can have permanent impacts on your physical and emotional health, as well as on your cognitive abilities. Lack of balance, difficulty communicating or understanding what is being said, loss of memory, and mood disorders are all common. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team is dedicated to ensuring you get the compensation you are entitled to for these and other losses you suffer. Our Chatsworth brain injury attorneys aggressively negotiate on your behalf with insurers, helping you get the maximum amount in any settlements. If insurance is unavailable or your brain injury is severe, we will not hesitate to file a lawsuit against those at fault. While each case is different, compensation available under the California Civil Code includes:

• Coverage of current medical costs and any future expenses you are likely to incur;
• Reimbursement for lost wages and any future losses in income due to ongoing disabilities;
• Compensation for your pain, suffering, and any loss of enjoyment in life your brain injuries cause;
• Punitive damages, which is an additional amount ordered in cases where the at-fault party acted in a particularly willful and negligent manner.
