Traumatic Brain Injury

OVERVIEW

Traumatic brain injuries — from mild concussions to severe diffuse axonal injury — are often invisible on imaging and difficult to prove without sophisticated workups. Defense lawyers exploit any gap in early documentation. The best TBI cases are built immediately: neuropsychological testing, advanced imaging, treating-physician documentation, and lay witnesses who can describe the cognitive and behavioral changes families notice first. We litigate TBI cases with the medical depth they require.

01

Common Causes

  • Motor vehicle and pedestrian impacts
  • Falls and head-strikes at industrial sites
  • Sports and recreational impacts
  • Assaults and acts of violence
  • Defective helmets and safety equipment
  • Blast and concussive exposures
02

Who Can Be Held Liable

  • Negligent drivers and operators
  • Employers and premises owners
  • Equipment and helmet manufacturers
  • Coaches, leagues, and venues (where applicable)
  • Public entities responsible for safety
03

Evidence We Preserve

  • Initial scene and EMS observation records
  • Glasgow Coma Scale and ED documentation
  • Neuropsychological testing batteries
  • Advanced imaging (DTI, fMRI, SPECT)
  • Treating-neurologist and physiatrist records
  • Pre-injury and post-injury lay-witness testimony

Statutes of Limitation

Every state imposes a strict deadline to file suit. In some states, claims must be filed within one or two years of the injury or death. Once that deadline passes, the case is gone forever. Federal claims and claims against government entities can have even shorter notice requirements — sometimes as little as ninety days. Do not assume you have time.

Why Acting Quickly Matters

Critical evidence disappears in days, not weeks. Black-box data is overwritten. Surveillance footage is recycled. Witnesses move. Defendants and their insurers begin building their case the moment an incident occurs. The injured family deserves a litigation team moving just as fast.
