Types of Brain Injuries We Handle
Our firm represents victims of all severity levels of brain injuries, including concussions and mild TBI, contusions and brain bruising, diffuse axonal injuries from rotational forces, penetrating brain injuries, coup-contrecoup injuries, second impact syndrome, hypoxic and anoxic brain injuries from oxygen deprivation, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Brain injuries result from many types of accidents, including motor vehicle crashes (the leading cause of TBI-related hospitalizations), trucking accidents, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, slip and fall incidents, construction site accidents, sports and recreational injuries, assaults and violent crimes, medical malpractice during surgery or childbirth, and defective products including helmets and safety equipment.
The Hidden Costs of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries often require years or even a lifetime of medical treatment and support. Our attorneys work with medical experts, life care planners, neuropsychologists, and economists to fully document the true cost of a brain injury, which may include emergency surgery and hospitalization, ongoing neurological treatment, cognitive rehabilitation therapy, occupational and speech therapy, psychological counseling, home modifications and assistive devices, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prove a brain injury in a legal case?
Brain injuries are diagnosed through a combination of neurological examinations, imaging studies (CT scans, MRI, fMRI, PET scans), neuropsychological testing, and expert medical testimony. Our firm works with leading neurologists and neuropsychologists to build compelling medical evidence.
What compensation is available for brain injury victims?
Brain injury victims may recover compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, cognitive and emotional impairment, and the need for lifetime care and assistance.
