Following a traumatic injury to the brain or a medical mistake affecting the nervous system, a person may suffer one or more seizures. These events can range in severity from full convulsive fits to an almost deadening of the body. Although the causes of seizures may vary, these horrifying incidents can lead to a dangerous loss of physical control.
If you have begun to experience seizures in the aftermath of an accident or incident in which another party’s negligence caused injury to your brain, a civil lawsuit may be appropriate. Contact the Denver seizure attorneys of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., at (303) 423-1770 to discuss the potential merits of legal action in your case.
Although many think of seizures only of the tonic-clonic variety, in which a person falls into a convulsive state, there are several types and causes of seizures. For some, the physical loss of control may be overshadowed by strongly altered mental states, with sufferers going through feelings of déjà vu or other confusing feelings. For others, seizures may lead to a person to fall down due to a loss of motor control, developing no convulsive symptoms in the process. The following causes may be to blame:
Seizures can be extremely dangerous, especially if a person falls to the ground unexpectedly. In these situations, a seizure may actually lead to further head trauma, causing even greater damage to the brain, or may cause bone fractures.
