Did You Know?    
 
 
Brain damage has many causes.
Brain damage may be caused by external physical force, insufficient blood supply, toxic substances, malignancy, disease-producing organisms, congenital disorders, birth trauma or degenerative processes.

 

Reading, walking and talking. They're all things we do every day. They're all things that we take for granted. But if you've suffered a serious brain injury in Minnesota, you may suffer from permanent brain damage and may need extensive medical care for the rest of your life. Thankfully, Minnesota brain injury attorneys can help you recover damages from whoever was responsible for your brain injury.

Minnesota Verdicts and Settlements    
 
 
Minnesota man awarded $4.8 million in car/truck accident (8/28/2003)
Rearend automobile truck accident in which Jeff McSorley was paralyzed from the chest down, his 5-year-old daughter was killed and another daughter and his ex-wife were injured. The trucking company settled all of the claims except for Mr. McSorley's
 

According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 1.4 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury each year. Of those, 50,000 die and 1.1 million are treated and released. But a large number, 235,000 victims, are hospitalized and could suffer serious brain injuries.

Unfortunately, children are most at risk for suffering accidents that could lead to a serious or traumatic brain injury. More than 475,000 children suffer from serious brain injury accidents each year. That means they're more likely to need extensive medical care for a long period of time; medical care that can get quite expensive in Minnesota.

While accidents are the greatest causes of brain injuries in Minnesota, they can also be caused by:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Inherited genetic defects
  • Viral infections
  • Trauma or drug use of the mother
  • Delivery medical malpractice

In some cases, brain injuries can be treated with surgery, but the patient may be left with limited mental abilities. Minnesota brain injury lawyers can help you sue whoever is responsible for you or your child's brain damage and make them pay for whatever expensive treatment is required.

Minnesota brain injury lawyers will also be able to sue for lost future income and for any pain and suffering.

Definition:
Apert Syndrome is a genetic defect and falls under the broad classification of craniofacial/limb anomalies. It can be inherited from a parent who has Apert, or may be a fresh mutation.
