STROKE

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. It can result in long-term, serious disability that severely affects the lives of victims and their families. A delay in the cut-off of blood flow to the brain raises the chances of brain injury or paralysis. The Southern California Stroke Attorneys from Golden & Timbol have years of experience handling stroke cases, and we know that medical professionals have to follow certain protocols without any delay whenever there is suspicion of a stroke.

Work-related Stroke

Although strokes are unpredictable, there are factors a worker can experience that may lead to stroke, such as over-exertion and stress. A stroke is a disturbance of the blood supply to the brain caused by blockage or a hemorrhage, which does not allow the affected part of the brain to function as it should. There are some distinct signs that indicate a stroke:

  • Numbness/weakness in the face, leg or arm, specifically if it has affected just one side of the person’s body
  • Trouble with vision in one/both eyes
  • Severe headache without any specific cause
  • Loss of coordination or balance
  • Sudden dizziness
  • Slurred speech and comprehension

The attorneys at Golden & Timbol are staunch advocates of a workers’ right to compensation following on-the-job illness or injuries. We will work diligently so that you may obtain compensation for the long-term care and occupational therapy often necessary following a stroke.
