An anoxic brain injury after an accident or head injury can stop the flow of oxygen to the brain. Because the brain needs a constant supply of oxygen, an anoxic brain injury can be life-altering. When brain injuries are caused by the negligent or reckless conduct of another party, victims may be entitled to significant compensation.

What is an Anoxic Brain Injury?
Any brain injury can be devastating. Unlike hypoxia, which occurs when the oxygen supply to the brain is restricted, anoxia involves complete disruption of oxygen to the brain. Without sufficient oxygen, brain cells can die in as few as five minutes or less, and an anoxic brain injury is likely to result in permanent brain damage.
Signs and symptoms of anoxia include:
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Confusion
- Loss of balance
- Loss of memory
- Changes in mood and/or personality
While any disruption of oxygen flow to the brain is serious, an anoxic brain injury can result in permanent disability or even wrongful death. For this reason, anoxia victims must receive immediate and ongoing medical treatment.
If an anoxic brain injury is caused by another party’s negligence, victims and their families need the powerful representation we provide. When you become our client, we will work tirelessly to hold the responsible party accountable and help you obtain just compensation.

What are the causes of anoxic brain injuries?
An anoxic brain injury or anoxia can be caused by suffocation, choking, severe asthma attacks, and allergic reactions, but brain injuries can also be caused by negligence. At J&Y, we have handled anoxic brain injury claims arising from a wide range of accidents, including:
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
- Construction accidents (e.g. trench and building collapses)
- Carbon monoxide exposure
- Drownings/swimming pool accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Smoke inhalation
Seriously injured victims may be unable to speak or move or may lapse into a coma. Anoxia victims often need lifelong care, which can become a physical, emotional, and financial burden for family members who often take on the role of caregivers.
