Workers Comp Stroke in Savannah

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is blocked. During this time, the affected part of the brain does not receive any oxygen. Without immediate medical care, loss of brain function and other serious complications can occur. In fact, stroke is among the leading causes of death in the United States.
