Bob Brenner, a California Brain Injury Attorney, Assists the Victims of Serious Brain Injuries

Robert A. Brenner, Esq. uses his expertise to help brain injury clients recover compensation for long-term medical treatment.

WOODLAND HILLS,CA/November 19 2009: When a blow to the head rattles the brain or when the deprivation of oxygen to the brain occurs, a mild to severe brain injury may happen. Studies indicate that at least a million brain injuries occur every year. While many of these cases are mild and only result in an emergency room visit, other cases result in severe conditions that require special rehabilitative treatment. "Medical care for a brain injury," commented Bob Brenner, a brain injury attorney from California, "often requires treatment from medical care professionals that specialize in brain trauma."

A brain injury can affect a person’s ability to function normally for many years or even for the remainder of their life. "The purpose of rehabilitative treatment," said Brenner, "is not only to improve a patient’s condition, but it is also to help the patient regain the type of independence they had before the injury." According to Brenner’s Web site, the Catastrophic Injury Resource Center at www.catastrophicinjury.com, two percent of the population suffers from a long-term or lifelong brain injury that requires assistance with performing daily activities.

Brenner’s practice focuses on assisting clients suffering from catastrophic injuries like severe brain trauma. Brenner has recovered millions in damages for clients living with debilitating injuries that have altered their ability to function normally. "Clients often need a substantial damage award to cover the cost of medical treatment and lost wages," said Brenner. Severe cases of brain injury result in the inability of the victim to continue working. Consequently, a claimant can recover compensation for the loss of this income. "When it is a lifetime worth of lost income, it is often substantial," said Brenner.

Because of the various kinds of brain injury and the different types of treatment needed, brain injury cases are often complex. Brain injury attorneys like Brenner use a team of experts to help establish a client’s legal claim. "I like to use a life care plan to help assess the value of my clients claim," stated Brenner. A life care plan is used to calculate the cost of medical treatment over the life of the person suffering from the brain injury. Other experts used include economists and medical specialists.
