Santa Rosa Brain Injury Attorney

Sonoma County Head Trauma Attorney

At the San Francisco law firm of Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger, our lawyers know first hand the lasting consequences of a brain injury. Brain injured people are often unable to work, or unable to work in their previous fields. They may experience job loss, financial disaster, changes in personality, psychological problems, loss of independence and dependence on family members and in-home caregivers.

Our attorneys have helped injured people and their families file personal injury claims for more than 50 years. We prepare lawsuits against people whose negligence resulted in severe and permanent damage to our clients' ability to work, participate in family activities and generally enjoy their lives. We undertake cases in Santa Rosa, San Jose, Los Angeles and other cities in California. We consult with medical experts and specialists to build the strongest possible cases for clients who are experiencing the consequences of brain injury.

There are many causes of brain injury, among them car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, near-drowning, defective products, medical malpractice, undiagnosed medical conditions and other incidents and situations. Victims may experience coordination problems, cognitive deficits and emotional problems.

The problems arising from brain injuries can last a lifetime. Our attorneys work with life care planners to estimate the cost of caring for and treating a client. We determine whether our client will be able to work again and in what capacity. We strive to identify all the resources our client needs to move forward and live as fully as possible.

We also determine the subjective costs of brain injuries to clients and their families. We have seen first-hand the consequences of brain injury to the families and friends of victims. We assess how to compensate the client and his or her family for losses such as loss of companionship, support and love.

Our law firm investigates the accident or event that led to the brain injury. We determine the responsible party. We have the resources, the knowledge and the courtroom experience to develop a legal strategy that seeks maximum compensation for our clients. We have a record of accomplishment on behalf of brain injured clients that includes obtaining damages and payment for unreimbursed doctor and hospital bills, lost past and future income, vocational and physical therapy, changes to the layout of the home, and pain and suffering.

Our San Francisco, California, lawyers meet with clients and their loved ones at our law firm, in their hospital rooms or at their homes. Contact our law firm to speak with a San Francisco or Santa Rosa brain injury lawyer. We serve cities in the Sonoma County area and beyond.
