Experienced Attorney Advocating for California Brain Injury Victims

Brain injuries, including cerebral palsy, can occur in various degrees. Even an open wound can have an enormous effect on a person's ability to work or interact as they had before the accident.

If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to an accident, The Heller Law Firm, in Los Angeles, California, is prepared to help. Since 1974, we have advocated for financial compensation for victims of cerebral palsy and other brain injuries. We work to secure the compensation necessary for a person to live with dignity and reach his or her full potential.

The Heller Law Firm takes on a limited number of cases at a time, allowing us to intently focus on you and your concerns. To arrange a free consultation, call us at 800-992-9947 or contact us on-line.

Facing the Challenge of On-Going Care

It isn't easy to accept the fact that on-going care may be necessary. After reviewing medical records including x-rays, CT scans and MRI results, our roster of experts work to develop a life care plan. This plan details the financial resources necessary to provide care for a lifetime. We then work to obtain damages from the party responsible for the injury.

Analyzing Loss of Earnings

Life for a brain injury or cerebral palsy victim is forever changed. They may experience a loss of enjoyment in life, but perhaps equally as critical are the economic losses.

Some brain injury victims can continue to be economically successful. If a person is capable of working following an accident, but needs a new career path, we bring in rehabilitation experts to help them retrain.

If an injury victim is unable to return to the work force, our economic specialists determine what a person's earnings would have been had they been able to work a natural work expectancy. We then work toward obtaining just compensation.

Presenting Your Case in the Courtroom

In all lawsuits there is what is known as "the theory of the case." This is the narrative the attorney will use to describe what happened. It is the superstructure that all the other pieces fit into: the factual order of events, the witness testimony, the exhibits, the multi-media displays. The goal is to create a theory of the case that is presented in such a convincing manner that the jury sees no other alternative than to award the compensation requested. This is what we do for every case we handle.

In a brain injury case, there are two elements that must be proven - liability, which determines who is at fault, and damages resulting to the injury. It is not enough to simply show that a person was hurt or how the accident happened. We must link the two together to prove the situation caused the injury. We rely on the expert testimony of medical specialists the jury can trust when formulating their judgment.

With expert opinions, computer reenactments and artist's renderings of the damage that has occurred, we work to prove liability in your case and secure the compensation you need. To discuss how we may be able to help, call us at 800-992-9947 or contact us on-line.

The Heller Law Firm will be with you all of the way.
