Doug_Landau_Public_Justice.jpegMore than half of all fall-related deaths by the elderly are caused by brain injuries.  .This is according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (”CDC”) in a first-of-its-kind study.  According to the CDC investigation, the severity of brain injuries resulting from falls may not be patently obvious, even to healthcare professionals..In other words, there may not be bleeding, swelling of the skull, bruising or other indicia of brain trauma or injury according to Herndon Reston area injury lawyer Doug Landau, shown here with his membership certificate, demonstrating his over 25 years of commitment to PUBLIC JUSTICE, from this public interest law firm’s very inception..Data for the study were gathered from records of 16,000 deaths in which unintentional falls were determined to be an underlying cause of death.  For the rest of the article, see Mike Stobbe’s 6/24/08 piece in The Washington Post.
