Brain Injury
When you've suffered a brain injury due to the negligence of another, the lawyers at Dougherty, Hildre & Haklar in San Diego, California can help you with the legal issues involved in your case. With medical bills and other expenses piling up, you need someone on your side to help you through this difficult time.
Types of Brain Injury
There are two main types of brain injury: traumatic brain injury and acquired brain injury.
A traumatic brain injury is defined as an injury to the brain that occurs from an outside force impacting the head. This type of brain injury can occur if the skull breaks and injures the brain or if the brain moves violently within the skull (i.e., whiplash).
An acquired brain injury occurs on a cellular level due to lack of oxygen, so it usually affects the entire brain. This is different than a traumatic brain injury, which is usually limited to a specific area of the brain.
Whether you've suffered a traumatic brain injury or an acquired brain injury, the lawyers at Dougherty, Hildre & Haklar are ready to help you with your claim from their offices in San Diego, California. Contact us today for your free consultation.

Types of Spinal Cord Injury
There are two main types of spinal cord injury: complete spinal cord injury and incomplete spinal cord injury.
Complete spinal cord injury causes paralysis on both sides of the body below the site of the injury. Paraplegia and quadriplegia are examples of this type of spinal cord injury.
Incomplete spinal cord injury means that the injured may have some function below the site of the injury. They may be able to feel immobile parts of their body or may have limited movement in the affected limbs.
When the negligent or wrongful action of another has led to your spinal cord injury, the lawyers at the San Diego, California law firm of Dougherty, Hildre & Haklar will fight to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.
