California Head Injury Lawyers

On the job accidents account for approximately 10% of all head injuries sustained in the United States every year.

If you or a loved one has sustained a head injury due to a work related accident in Northern California, please contact Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis & Larsen for a free consultation with one of our accomplished San Jose head injury lawyers.

An on the job head injury may occur due to any number or reasons, including:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Auto accidents
  • Being struck by something heavy
  • Workplace violence

Depending upon the circumstances of the accident, many accident victims do not realize that they have suffered a minor or major brain injury because the symptoms do not always present themselves right away. Some symptoms of a head injury include long lasting headaches, confusion, nausea, and dizziness. If you have been involved in a work injury and have suffered any of these symptoms, you have sustained a head or brain injury and should seek medical attention immediately.

There are many types of brain and head injuries, including anoxic brain injury, contusion, epidural hematoma, concussion, and contrecoup. Each type of brain injury is very serious and causes different types of damage and long term effects, such as change in speech, mood differences, vision impairment, memory loss, and personality changes.

Brain injuries require extensive treatment which is usually very expensive. These treatments may include visits to medical specialists, surgeries, rehabilitation, in home care by trained professionals, and other costly, yet necessary treatments. As an injury victim, you have the right to hold the negligent party responsible for the injuries that they caused, and use litigation to recover the monetary damages that you deserve.
