Brain Damage

The human brain is a delicate organ and susceptible to injury in a variety of ways. We have represented clients who have sustained brain injury in surgical mishaps, automobile accidents, industrial disasters, falls, and a multitude of other traumatic events.
 
Each year over 2 million Americans sustain traumatic brain injury. When those injuries result from the fault of another, you have the right to seek legal assistance from qualified lawyers to help defray the expenses that brain injuries produce.

The cost of taking care of a person with a severe brain injury can climb into the millions of dollars depending upon the level of care required and the injured person’s life expectancy. Additionally, clients who have sustained traumatic brain injury often lose their ability to earn a living, and with it, their health insurance and other employment-related benefits. We help individuals who have sustained traumatic brain injury cover the costs of their rehabilitation and care. We work with experts in the fields of physical medicine and rehabilitation, life care planning, neurology, neurosurgery and neuropsychology to properly assess and quantify the nature and extent of a client’s loss.

If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury, whether as the result of an automobile accident, bicycle collision, fall, playground mishap or other cause, it is critical that you contact a brain injury lawyer as early as possible following the injury. At Berenji & Associates, we have seen the devastating effects of brain injury and have the expertise and the medical knowledge in the area of brain injuries and we are prepared to help you obtain full, fair and just compensation.

Paralysis/Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries resulting from accidents are life-changing events for most victims and their families. Serious spinal cord injuries require a lifetime of therapy, medical treatment, and rehabilitation. Unfortunately, many people never fully recover from spinal cord injuries, particularly where the injury results in paralysis or quadriplegia. Because of the extensive medical care required for victims of spinal cord injuries, astronomical medical costs accompany most spinal cord injury cases. Securing the necessary financial resources to insure appropriate care is an important legal step for victims of spinal cord accidents.

Berenji & Associates are experienced and skilled in representing victims in obtaining reimbursement for the losses they have sustained and are likely to sustain in the future. If you are facing a lifetime of expensive medical care for a spinal cord injury, it is extremely important that you are represented by an attorney who is experienced in assessing and articulating the damages and losses that are common in these cases. Calculating current, future, and potential damages, losses, and expenses in catastrophic cases is a complex process. We work with disability planners and certified life care specialists to make certain that in any claim the cost of ongoing attendant care, medication, supplies, rehabilitation, home modification and transportation are included.

Birth Injuries

Expecting and delivering a new baby should be a happy time and a time free from medical complications. However, when negligence by medical professionals results in injuries or death to a newborn, medical malpractice has occurred.

“Birth injuries” can occur at any point during pregnancy, during delivery, and during newborn care immediately following delivery. Improper handling of a baby during delivery can result in loss of oxygen causing brain damage, cerebral palsy, Erbspalsy, mental retardation, seizures. We know that children with cerebral palsy require special treatment, occupational therapy, medication and attendant care. If you are a parent with a special needs child, there are many resources which may be able to provide you help. If your baby suffered injuries before, during or after birth, our staff may be able to help. While cerebral palsy can be caused by things other than birth trauma (including bacterial or viral infections) only experts trained in assessing the management of labor and delivery can determine if your child’s injury was related to birth injury.

Catastrophic Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is a negligent or careless act committed by a doctor or other health care provider. If an injury to a patient occurs while a medical provider is performing below the standard of care required in diagnosing or treating medical conditions, the patient may have a cause of action for medical malpractice against that medical provider. The "standard of care" is the accepted standard recognized by other health care providers in the same field of medicine under similar circumstances. The following list is provided to illustrate what is meant by the term "below the standard of care:"
