BRAIN INJURY FROM FALL AT SKI SLOPE KILLS NATASHA RICHARDSON. CALL BRAIN INJURY LAWYERS OF LA COUNTY FOR HELP NOW.
The Tony-award winning actress Natasha Richardson died from a head injury she incurred from a fall while skiing. Brain injuries from a traumatic incident such as a fall or a car accident strike nearly 1.5 million Americans annually. About 50,000 of those people will die from their severe brain trauma. The physical force of a fall from a standing position is more than enough to cause such a fatal injury. Sports like skiing, bike riding or skateboarding, as well as slipping or tripping on an uneven surface, can cause such falls or blunt traumas. In some tragic cases, such as those like Ms. Richardson’s, the fall can trigger a bleeding of the brain that is then confined by the skull. The resulting pressure on the brain can be deadly, although prompt medical care can sometimes save the victim. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury from a fall in L.A., call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to an attorney for free.
