Concord Head Trauma Attorney
The attorneys at Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger help brain-injured clients and their families obtain the resources they need to heal as fully as possible after car accidents, medical malpractice or other negligent behavior. With more than 50 years of experience handling lawsuits and claims involving brain injuries, our San Francisco lawyers build strong cases and are persuasive advocates for clients. As a result, we have been able to obtain needed compensation and damages for people suffering the consequences of brain injuries.
We know that brain injury causes a wide range of physical, emotional and cognitive problems. We evaluate our clients' deficits to construct a full picture of his or her needs after an accident. We also know that the brain injured person is not the only one affected; we determine how our client's injuries have affected family and friends. The injured person may be unable to participate in family life or provide the love, companionship and support that he or she did in the past. Damage to others is an important part of our claims and lawsuits.
A wide range of accidents and incidents of negligence can result in brain injury. Our attorneys investigate motor vehicle accidents, surgical and medical malpractice, anesthesia errors, explosions, toxic substance leaks and other events. This allows us to identify the responsible party and build a strong case.
Many people who have experienced brain injury are unable to work at all, can no longer work full-time or cannot perform the tasks and responsibilities of their previous jobs. They often are unable to contribute economically to their households. Losses such as these are part of our calculation when developing a claim.
We prepare every case for trial, using the experience of our lawyers and the extensive resources of the firm to develop a full and compelling picture of our client, the injuries and the impact of those injuries on his or her life. We consult with medical, vocational and psychiatric experts to obtain professional assessments of our client's abilities and skills after the injury. We consult with life care planners to help us determine the lifelong needs of our client and the cost of meeting those needs. The result of our preparation is a strong case that seeks full compensation for our injured client.
If the brain injury was the result of a motor vehicle accident, we consult with accident reconstructionists, photograph and video the scene, and evaluate the police reports to determine the cause and identify the liable party. If the injury was caused by medical malpractice, we consult with experts who help us understand the accepted standard of care and how the medical provider failed to deliver care that met the standard.
Our attorneys can meet with brain injured clients and their families at our San Francisco office, in the hospital or at home. When searching for a Contra Costa County brain injury lawyer, contact us for information about how we can help you.
