Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury change lives forever. Regardless of the source of the injury – whether it results from a fall, a car crash, exposure to toxins, or due to an illness – the victim’s memory, personality and ability to carry on in a normal way may be compromised forever. The victim and his or her family will have special medical and legal needs that never before were imagined. Any lawyer representing the brain injury victim must:

Ensure that those who are responsible are held legally accountable
Help prepare the victim and family for the changes that lay ahead.
Timing is critical after a victim has suffered a brain injury. The following issues must be addressed if the brain injury case is to be pursued effectively:

What factors caused or contributed to the injury?
Did the injury result from some wrongful act of another?
Is the brain injury survivor and/or his or her family entitled to financial compensation from the negligent party, or from an insurance source, to help pay for the future costs of care and treatment?
Will the survivor require long-term in-home care or extensive rehabilitative services?
Who will act on the behalf of the victim if the brain injury results in serious and long-term cognitive deficits?
A successful outcome in resolving these issues will depend heavily on how well all relevant facts relating to the brain injury victim’s case are documented immediately following the injury. A prompt consultation with an attorney can ensure that vital information is preserved and quick legal planning and action are coordinated for the maximum benefit of the brain injury victim.
