| Car
accidents are a leading cause of head and brain injuries. Brain
injury can occur when the head has been struck, usually by striking
an object such as a windshield. Sometimes the brain undergoes a
sudden acceleration/deceleration movement (as in a whiplash injury)
without direct external trauma to the head. Many brain injuries are
the result of bruising, bleeding, twisting or tearing of brain
tissue. Damage to the brain may occur at the time of the accident,
or develop over time as tissues swell and bleed within the head.
In the United States alone, over 1,000,000 people suffer from head
injuries each year. Head impact injuries, especially "traumatic
brain injuries," can leave the victim in varying states of
debilitation. While blunt trauma to the skull is the most likely
source of traumatic brain injury, prolonged lack of oxygen, or the
"anoxic brain injury" can also have severe and life threatening
consequences. With traumatic brain injury, the victim's brain may
swell, bruise, and tear, while anoxic brain injury causes the brain
cells to die from lack of oxygen. Traumatic brain injury is more
common than anoxic brain injury, however both injuries have similar
consequences and treatments.
Handling traumatic brain injury cases not only requires legal
expertise, but medical experts substantiate the claims made for the
experience and ability to testify. We have a nationwide bank of such
experts with the ability to evaluate the traumatic brain injury and
present qualified medical expert opinion at trial together with the
diagnosis, prognosis, and causal connection of the injury to the
subject accident. We also have our national team of forensic
economists who are prepared to substantiate and project future loss
as well as current and prior economic loss. You must make sure when
selecting an attorney and law firm to handle a traumatic brain
injury case that the law firm has the resources to expend the
necessary money to present such a case to the fullest. In over 30
years of practice we have collected hundreds of millions of dollars
for thousands of clients. We have the demonstrated record of
competence, ability, and stability to be there for you now, and when
