When the head takes any sort of solid impact, it can have devastating consequences. Head and brain injuries are more common than one might think. In fact, there are over one million head and brain injuries suffered by Americans every year. Many of these one million injuries will leave the victim with long-term complications. 

Because complications from head and brain injuries in Los Angeles can leave a victim in physical, emotional, and financial ruin, it is important to recover these damages. Many are unaware of how to begin a case. It can be as simple as calling a Los Angeles head and brain injury lawyer. 

There are a number of ways in which a head and brain injury can occur. Some of the common causes include:

  • Vehicle – Whether on a motorcycle, bicycle, or in a car, a vehicular crash can be very dangerous. Traveling at a high speed and coming into sudden impact can cause traumatic brain injury.
  • Slip and fall – Slip-and-fall accidents occur frequently. When falling, the head often comes into contact with the ground or other objects. Some studies indicate that as high as 62 percent of head and brain injuries are caused by slip-and-fall accidents for seniors and almost half for children.
  • Assault – Being assaulted accounts for nearly 10 percent of head and brain injuries. Fortunately it only accounts for a small number in children and seniors.
  • Defective products – Defective products are caused by a flaw of which the user may not be aware. When the product malfunctions, it can cause a number of injuries, including a traumatic brain injury.
