If you are struggling from brain damage or suffered a traumatic brain injury in North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC), you need to contact our law firm right away. Some law firms might shy away from such complicated brain/head injury cases, but we meet the challenge of traumatic brain injury cases armed with our extensive experience, expert medical witnesses, and state-of-the-art presentation technology to build and successfully argue your case.

These techniques and expertise has led to proven results including a $46 million ($60 million with interest included) verdict for the victim of a traumatic brain injury. This was the largest mild traumatic brain injury verdict in the state of Virginia, bringing our client the financial stability, medical care, and peace that was stripped from him after his accident.

Whether you have been in an accident that resulted in brain trauma in the Carolinas, or whether a loved family member has suffered brain damage in an accident, you probably have a number of questions about your potential case:

· Do I have a case if I was never knocked unconscious during my accident?

· 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.
