Santa Ana Head Trauma Lawyer
The attorneys at Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger are advocates for people who have suffered a brain injury. During the past five decades, we have developed strong cases in pursuit of resources that will allow our clients to live as fully as possible.
Brain injuries change lives forever. The injured person may be unable to work at all. He or she may need to take a part-time job. The tasks and responsibilities of the person's previous career may become impossible after a brain injury. Because of circumstances like these, the injured person may be unable to contribute to the household. He or she may suffer a huge drop in self-esteem as a result.
Brain injured persons may also experience changes in personality. They may suffer from psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and an inability to enjoy activities that were once enjoyable. They may become insomniacs, exhibit violent behaviors or be easily frustrated. They may be dependent on family members and caregivers, a situation that can cause some people to become angry.
Other consequences of brain injury include cognitive deficits such as memory problems, language and speaking problems, attention problems and dementia. Victims may also experience sensory problems such as difficulties with vision, smell, taste and touch.
Our attorneys prepare lawsuits against people whose negligence resulted in severe and permanent brain damage. Our cases have involved motor vehicle accidents, work-related accidents, chemical exposure, explosions, medical malpractice and other accidents that result in direct trauma to the brain, a shifting of the brain within the skill or a reduction in the flow of oxygen to the brain.
We consult with a wide range of experts and specialist to document the negligence and identify the liable party. We work with physicians, psychiatrists, vocational experts and many others to determine the impact of the brain injury on our client's life. We talk with life care planners to develop an accurate picture of the resources our client will need to live as fully as possible.
Our clients come to us from across California, including from Orange County, Los Angeles County and Riverside County. We have developed cases against large corporations, insurance carriers, local governments and state agencies. We develop each case for trial, knowing the other side is more likely to offer a fair settlement if it knows that the alternative is to face our attorneys in court.
Our record of accomplishment on behalf of bran injured clients is significant. We have been able to obtain compensation and damages for our clients' pain and suffering, unreimbursed medical bills, past and future wages, vocational training, physical therapy, adaptive equipment and other losses and expenses resulting from a brain injury.
