· My doctor didn't connect my symptoms to my accident until months after the event - can I still pursue my case?

· Do I need an attorney who specializes in traumatic brain injury cases?

· How long do brain injury cases take?

· How much is my traumatic brain injury worth?

· Can I seek damages for my emotional damages or quality of life changes?

• What if my loved one is not able to pursue his own or her own case due to their traumatic brain injury?

What Is The Prognosis For Traumatic Brain Injuries? 

Every brain injury is different – some injury victims may never lose consciousness, while others may never regain their consciousness. Some may struggle with migraines, short-term memory loss, or impulse control issues, while others may have violent seizures, nausea and vomiting, and disturbed sleep.

Half of traumatic brain injury patients will need brain surgery. Many will suffer from problems with thinking, concentrating, and cognition. Others will struggle with communication, sensory processing, mood swings, agitation, mental health issues, aggression, and personality changes. The most severe cases will remain unaware, unresponsive, in a coma or vegetative state. 

These chronic and permanent conditions go past the realm of ordinary injury – these injury victims are not simply concerned with medical bill payments or a broken bone, they (and their loved ones) have lost part of themselves and have a lower quality of life.
