Brain Injury Lawyer Serving the San Fernando Valley
San Fernando Valley Catastrophic Injury Attorney - (818) 783-8446
Have you suffered a serious head injury? If you experience a blunt trauma
to the head or neck region, there is always a high risk that you could
suffer a concussion or hemorrhage. With a forceful jolt to the head, the
brain could swell and come into contact with the skull. Any intracranial
pressure is very dangerous and could result in brain damage. In more severe
brain injury cases, the victims can end up in a coma and sustain permanent
brain damage. Worst case scenario, the brain injury victim is stuck in
a vegetative state or suffers wrongful death. If you or a loved one has
sustained a traumatic brain injury in an accident that was not your fault,
you may be eligible for restitution.
Brain injuries are of a sensitive nature because you can suffer permanent
brain damage which could affect the rest of your life. After suffering
a brain injury, spinal cord injury or any other
catastrophic injury, do not hesitate to speak with a San Fernando Valley personal injury attorney
from the Law Offices of Joel Parker. My firm is committed to protecting
the rights of injury victims who are involved in tragic accidents. Nothing
can undo the unfortunate damage that has already been done, but you can
seek justice and work to recover fair compensation. If your injury could
have been prevented, allow my firm to help you hold the negligent party
responsible for their actions.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries
The brain is surrounded by water and it enclosed in a protective case which
is referred to as the cranium. When someone is hit in the head with blunt
force, the cranium could be damaged, or the brain could swell which could
cause serious problems. Here at the Law Offices of Joel Parker, we handle
a wide variety of head and brain injury cases including:
- A hard hit to the head
- Head trauma due to a motor vehicle accident
- Head injuries sustained in amusement parks
- Head injuries sustained in sports accidents
- Closed head injuries
- Open head injuries
- Severe cuts and lacerations
- Cracked skull or damaged cranium
- Baby brain injuries due to Shaken baby syndrome
- Head injuries sustained in bicycle accidents
- Head trauma from slipping and falling
- Wrongful death
If you or a loved one has suffered from any of the above, it is vital that
you obtain high caliber legal representation from a San Fernando Valley
personal injury lawyer. Experience makes a difference when choosing an
attorney and my firm will provide you with trustworthy legal counsel during
this difficult time.
Your attorney should be well-versed in
personal injury law and should have experience with catastrophic injury. I, Attorney Joel
Parker, have been handling personal injury cases for 40 years and I have
a history of
case victories to show for it.
The Consequences of a Brain Injury
The brain is the control center of the body- it is responsible for sending
out messages to the rest of the body on how to move, react, coordinate,
speak and basically any other motor skill that needs to be performed.
When the brain is damaged, it could result in loss of motor functions
and leave the victim in a coma or a vegetative state where they need to
be cared for by others. Brain injuries can also lead to memory loss, headaches,
migraines, and a change in social behavior. The most common brain injuries include:
- A fractured skull
- Head Concussion
- Head Contusion
- Subdural Hematoma
- Epidural Hematoma
- Anoxic brain injuries
- DAI, or Diffuse Axonal Injuries

not your fault, you may be able to recover compensation for both financial
and non-financial damages. My firm can assist in getting you reimbursed
