We Pursue Compensation For The Long-Term Impact Of A Traumatic Brain Injury
Perhaps no part of the human body is more vital than the brain, and it is alarmingly fragile. An accident as simple as a slip-and-fall can do serious harm and result in a traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is defined as disruption to the the brain’s normal functions. TBI can range from concussions to life-changing brain damage that results in coma, a vegetative state, intellectual deficits or even death.

Our firm’s extensive experience in TBI personal injury law enables us to understand that the long-term effects of TBI can be subtle and difficult to ascertain.

Sometimes, though, the effects of what appears to be a minor injury can be perplexing to doctors treating patients.

Doctors are only beginning to understand these changes and how to document them.
