What is anoxic brain injury?

 

A: Anoxic brain injury occurs when the brain suffers from a lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage.  When the oxygen supply is cut off from the brain partially or completely, brain cells can die, sometimes leading to permanent brain injury.  The following causes of anoxic brain injury may be grounds for a brain injury claim in Norfolk or other parts of Virginia, depending on the specific details of the incident:

• medical errors, surgery mistakes, or complications (often leading to Virginia medical malpractice claims)
• near-drowning accidents (sometimes leading to premises liability claims)
• accidents at work, such as incidents of electrical shock (which can lead to Virginia workers' comp. claims)
• strangulation, chocking, or suffocation, sometimes due to defective products and causing child injuries (which can lead to product liability claims).
  

No matter what caused your loved one's anoxic brain injury, you may be able to file a legal claim for financial compensation so you can focus on helping the injured person get better rather than worrying about how to pay for medical expenses.  If your Norfolk, Eastern Shore, Hampton Roads, or other Virginia brain damage case resulted from the negligence of another party, contact Norfolk brain injury lawyer Lawrence Land for free resources and answers to your pressing legal questions.  Contact Land online or toll-free at 800-800-1911.
