Brain injuries pose so many challenges, as it impacts such a sensitive and vital organ, responsible for a number of day to day functions. The lawsuit is demanding unspecified damages and rightfully so, as Cedillo's life has been drastically altered and she has sustained great physical and emotional injuries, as a direct result of the incident.
