Brain Injury Lawyers

In Phoenix, Arizona and Taking Cases Nationwide

Brain injuries are some of the most damaging and traumatic injuries you can suffer. Depending on the part of the brain that is affected and the severity of the injury, many mental and physical disabilities can result, including:

  • Nervous system damage
  • Decreased mental capacity and cognitive abilities
  • Temporary or permanent memory loss
  • Difficulty speaking, reading or communicating

Many of these injuries can be permanent, devastating the lives of victims and their families.

Brain Injury Statistics

  • 28% are caused by falls
  • 20% result from car accidents
  • 19% happen when someone hits his or her head on a blunt or sharp object
  • 11% are caused by violence

An open brain injury occurs when something sharp pierces the skull, puncturing the brain and bringing in foreign items like hair, bone fragments and bacteria, which can lead to infection.

A closed brain injury occurs when a blunt instrument hits the head, or when the head is shaken or jerked suddenly so that the brain hits the inside of the skull (as in severe whiplash injuries and Shaken Baby Syndrome).

In addition to these traumas from outside, the brain can be permanently damaged when it's deprived of oxygen for too long and the brain cells die. Hypoxia is a severe reduction in the oxygen supply and anoxia is a complete absence of oxygen.
