Anoxic Brain Injury – How Do I Seek Compensation?

The brain is the body’s master controller, and as such, it must always be supplied with the cofactors and compounds it needs in order to keep the whole body running as smoothly as possible. Brain cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen and the lack of it, and as such, they tend to start dying after approximately four minutes of oxygen deprivation. Individuals who have suffered complete lack of oxygen to the brain for over four minutes are said to have suffered anoxic brain injury, one of the most catastrophic forms of brain injury that may require long-term care. This kind of brain injury is often seen in newborns who suffered a birth injury where the doctor took too long to get the baby out of the birth canal, or those who were in a car accident and did not receive prompt medical care as well as those that got injured in isolated locations where help took time to arrive. Anoxic brain injury almost always has a negligent component to it due to the severity of these injuries. To this end, if you or a loved one suffered an anoxic brain injury, you may be entitled to money damages, and we’re here to help you retrieve them.

Neck Injury and Anoxic Brain Injury

Neck injuries are notorious for producing anoxia, especially if the neck snaps such as in the case of diving into a shallow pool or in a head-on auto collision. This can interrupt the flow of oxygen from the lungs to the brain.
