San Francisco Lawyers Helping People Who Have Suffered a Brain Injury
Brain injuries can be catastrophic, leaving people unable to care for themselves and requiring a lifetime of care. But even less obvious brain injuries, like closed head trauma (concussion) or mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBI) can be life-altering. Because of the subtle changes, it is important to pay close attention to physical and behavioral aspects of the injured person.

- We secured a $4.25 million settlement for the family of a pedestrian struck by a car in the crosswalk of a dangerous intersection. The young man suffered severe head injury and is in a persistent vegetative state. We brought action against both the car driver and the city for failing to place proper signage and to mark the crosswalk, although the San Francisco Board of Supervisors had called for such signs to be placed on the roadway. The settlement ensured he could receive home health care for his lifetime.
Brain injuries can affect people in a number of ways. It can lead to cognitive difficulties for activities one could previously perform (such as arithmetic or advance planning). It can result in personality changes and an inability to manage emotions or anger.
