Building A Team To Help You Fight For Your Future

In brain and spinal injury cases, we employ medical experts, life-care planners and human factors experts to determine the cost of long-term care and treatment.

Representing Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Victims

Sometimes called a closed-head injury, a TBI can be difficult to diagnose. The effects are not always immediately apparent, instead surfacing weeks or months after the injury.

Effects of a TBI can include: headaches, dizziness, personality changes, depression, amnesia and loss of consciousness. Motor skill function and speech may also be impaired. In the most serious cases, the result may be a coma or wrongful death.

People with a brain injury often need long-term medical care. Depending on the severity of the injury, they may need rehabilitation and require treatment from specialists such as speech pathologists, therapists, neurologists, neuropsychologists and others.

Advocating For Spinal Cord Injury Victims

A spinal cord injury can affect many parts of the body. Whether you suffer a complete or incomplete spinal cord injury, you may also be facing one or more of the following conditions:

• Paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia
• Chronic pain
• Respiratory problems

Rehabilitation and other long-term treatment or care are usually necessary after a spinal cord injury.
