Car accidents are constant occurrences on Los Angeles streets and freeways. When these accidents are catastrophic in nature, they may cause serious injuries or even death to one or more of the people involved. Pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists are at particular risk of serious injury in a car accident. The speed, force and location of impact in a car accident will typically determine what extent of injury that a victim may sustain, although a combination of these and other factors may also make it seem as though luck is involved.
Why is Head Trauma considered a Catastrophic Injury?
When a person sustains a blow to the head, this may have dramatic consequences. Whether an open head or closed head injury, the brain may actually be affected. When a brain injury results from head trauma, the victim may be at risk of serious side effects such as memory loss, loss of cognitive skills, personality changes, language problems, loss of voluntary motor function, and more. This will mean that the victim will face a life of therapy or continued medical treatment or may require assistance just to perform day-to-day activities. In some cases, severe head trauma may even lead to death.
Head trauma may be sustained in virtually any type of accident, such as a car accident, fall or construction accident, or as the result of an assault or attack. In either of these situations, the victim of head trauma may be able to take legal action against whatever party’s negligence or wrongdoing led to his or her injuries.
