Traumatic Brain Injuries

Are you suffering from a traumatic brain injury? Do you think medical malpractice is to blame?  If so, you should speak to a Los Angeles brain injury attorney who can review your claim and help you take legal action by holding those responsible for your injury accountable under California medical malpractice law.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

When an outside force causes trauma to any part of the brain, it is referred to as a traumatic brain injury.  While the majority of traumatic brain injuries are caused by falls, auto accidents, and violence, traumatic brain injuries can occur as the result of medical malpractice as well.  Unfortunately, newborn babies are the most common victims of traumatic brain injuries caused by medical malpractice.  Sometimes a doctor or obstetrician may use a vacuum or forceps during a vaginal delivery, especially if the baby is having difficulty moving through the birth canal.  If a doctor uses these instruments with too much force, the baby may sustain a traumatic brain injury.

Children with traumatic brain injuries often suffer from a number of serious side effects, if they are lucky enough to survive their injuries at all.  As a child gets older, he or she may struggle with mental retardation, developmental delays, and other health complications that significantly reduce the quality of his or her life.
