San Diego County Head Trauma Attorney
The lawyers at the San Francisco law firm of Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger are advocates for brain injury victims. We build strong cases for our clients, seeking compensation and damages for their losses and expenses.
Brain injuries change lives. They affect an individual's ability to work. They often cause personality changes and emotional difficulties. They usually result in some level of cognitive difficulty. Consequently, the injured person may no longer be able to contribute to the household economy.
Brain injured persons may exhibit distinct changes in personality and suffer from psychological problems. They may be unable to participate in activities they once enjoyed. They may become violent, frustrated and disruptive. Their dependence on family members and caregivers may cause them to become angry.
Memory problems, language and speaking problems, attention problems and dementia are frequent after brain injuries. Sensory problems such as difficulties with vision, smell, taste and touch are also common.
Our cases have involved car, truck and motorcycle accidents; on-the-job accidents; exposure to toxic chemicals; explosions; medical and surgical malpractice and other accidents. Incidents and events such as these cause direct trauma to the brain, shifting of the brain within the skill or a reduction in the flow of oxygen to the brain. Whatever the cause, the results are the same: brain injury that leaves our client forever changed.
We investigate to document the negligence and identify the party responsible for our client's injuries. We work with experts to determine how the brain injury affected our client's life. We consult with life care planners to obtain a full awareness of the resources our client will need throughout his or her life.
As a result of our work, our attorneys have been able to secure payment and damages for our clients' pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, vocational and physical rehabilitation, and other damages and losses.
Our clients come to us from across California, including from San Diego County, Los Angeles County and Riverside County. We have prevailed against large corporations, insurance companies, state governments and local agencies. We prepare each case for trial. Our experience tells us that offering a fair settlement is usually preferable to the other side than facing our lawyers in court.
Our attorneys meet with clients and their families at our San Francisco office, in the hospital or at home. Contact our law firm to speak with a San Francisco and San Diego brain injury attorney. We serve cities such as Escondido, Poway and El Cajon.
