A coma is commonly caused by a brain injury resulting from a head injury during a car crash. A coma is a state of unconsciousness when a person is unresponsive and cannot be woken. Warshafsky won a $4.9 million dollar settlement for a car accident case where a boy was put into a 7-week coma.
The top car accident attorneys in Milwaukee were approached to help a 9-year-old boy and his mother. After the woman’s son was injured in a near fatal car crash, she had been forced to quit her job in order to care for him. The insurance companies involved were devaluing the importance of the claim.
As a result of the car accident, the child suffered partial loss of vision and hearing. This boy was originally paralyzed in his entire left side, losing functionality of his left arm. Upon waking from a 7-week coma at the young age of 9, he spends majority of his time confined to a wheelchair. Learning difficulties from brain damage injuries have made it impossible for the boy to be deemed employable. At the time of trial, additional surgeries were mandatory and still forthcoming.
