New Jersey Brain Damage Attorneys

Brain damage is a term that is widely – often inaccurately – used to refer to an injury to the brain. Rather, brain damage is intended to express the loss of brain cells and function due to some adverse event. While brain damage is frequently incurred by a brain injury, this is not always the case. Because the brain cannot heal in the manner that other parts of the body can, brain damage typically results in permanent negative effects for the sufferer.

If you or someone you love sustained brain damage because of someone else’s negligence, there may be legal options available to help you to recover financial compensation. This money can ease some of the seemingly overwhelming burdens of treatment costs and time away from work. Contact the New Jersey brain damage lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529 to discuss your potential case.

How Does Brain Damage Occur?

Brain damage occurs due to cell death (such as that caused by the loss of oxygen or blood to the brain) or the compromise of the brain’s structural integrity, often due to a violent blow. The affected portions of the brain will no longer be able to carry out the functions for which they are intended. Depending upon the area of the brain where the damage occurs, this could have a bearing on memory, speech, cognition, recognition, or virtually anything else.

Brain damage may be sustained as a consequence of:

• Near drowning
• Medical malpractice
• Head trauma from a car, truck, or motorcycle accident
• Head trauma from a slip and fall accident
• Injuries associated with physical assault
• Sports injuries
