We have handled many brain and spinal cord injury cases, making it hard to single out just one. Unfortunately, all of these cases are unique in impactful ways. These injuries have profound effects on people’s lives, but in very different manners. We’ve seen cases ranging from paralysis to less obvious but equally devastating effects, such as damage to a person’s executive function.
For example, we had a client who, after suffering brain damage due to malpractice, was still able to dress and feed himself but became uncontrollably violent. He had to spend the rest of his life in a facility equipped to manage his violent tendencies, despite being otherwise friendly and kind. Each of these cases is memorable because of the profound impact on the affected families, leaving a lasting impression on us. We have seen a wide range of such cases over the years.
San Francisco, CA medical malpractice attorney Nathaniel Leeds tells the story of a memorable brain or spinal cord injury case he handled. He mentions that he has handled numerous brain and spinal cord injury cases, making it difficult to single out just one. Each case is unique and carries profound consequences, though the effects often manifest in very different ways. These injuries can range from complete paralysis to less visible but equally devastating outcomes, such as impairment of executive function.
He recalls one case involving a client who suffered brain damage due to malpractice. Although the client retained the ability to dress and feed himself, the injury caused uncontrollable violent behavior. As a result, he required placement in a specialized facility capable of managing his condition, despite having once been a kind and friendly individual. Experiences like this highlight how deeply these injuries affect not only the victims but also their families, leaving lasting impressions throughout his career.
