At the Law Offices of Loren M. Merlin, we are committed to helping the unfortunate victims of brain injuries.  When such injuries are the result of another's negligence, a Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney  can advise you of your rights in the matter and can represent you to seek the maximum financial settlement necessary to treat the often long lasting and debilitating effects caused by a brain injury. 

Brain injuries, often referred to as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), are the result of a sudden sharp or explosive impact to the head, causing the brain to impact the inside of the skull or to be pierced by some object entering the brain.  The most common cause of such injuries is auto accidents, followed by falls, sports injuries, blows or gunshot wounds.  While some accidents are unavoidable, many if not most are caused by someone's negligence or irresponsible actions.  When such an injury is due to another's actions, that person or group can and should be legally held responsible for the financial burden treating such an injury can entail.

Consequences of a Brain Injury

The effects of a brain injury can include everything from disorientation, concussion and dizziness to more severe symptoms such as memory loss, amnesia, difficulty speaking and general loss of cognitive functions.  The most traumatic effects can be coma, a loss of motor functions, severe emotional or psychological problems, and ultimately, death.

It is important to know that some effects of a brain injury do not appear immediately and are not recognized as having been caused by the accident because they don't seem serious at first.

If you or a loved one has received a brain injury it is important that you find out what your legal rights are in the matter.  Our firm will provide you with a caring and dedicated legal counsel who will work hard towards obtaining the compensation you deserve.
