Testimonials

Tony, I can't tell you what a blessing you and your team have been during the most tragic time in our lives. By taking over the responsibility of dealing with the hospital bills and insurance companies you've allowed me to focus on my duties as a father and husband.
My family and I just want to thank you for everything you have done and dedication in this car seat case.
I will always keep your professionalism in my heart! Thank you again Chad and Vanessa!
I went to a local lawyer to help my father and I after we were injured in an 18 Wheeler crash. That lawyer brought in another lawyer. Finally, Chad came on board and got our case resolved.

Long-Term Complications of Traumatic Brain Injury

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 1.4 million people suffer from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) every year. According to the data compiled by the CDC, 50,000 die, 235,000 sustain severe injuries that require hospitalization, and 1.1 million receive treatment in an emergency room. The most common causes of TBI are falls, motor vehicle traffic accidents, being struck by or against a moving object, and assaults.

What Are the Symptoms of TBI?

Depending on the severity of a traumatic brain injury, the complications that result can be long-lasting. In the mildest cases, people suffer from headaches, nausea, fatigue, a decline in their ability to concentrate, and irritability. Moderate TBI may result in a state of confusion; permanent or temporary physical, cognitive, or behavioral impairment; seizures; and slurred speech.

The most serious form of TBI is categorized as severe. Severe traumatic brain injury can cause serious complications, even putting the patient in a coma or a vegetative state. Severe traumatic brain injury can also limit a person’s ability to speak or move. In some cases, a patient may only be able to move their eyes, even though they are awake and able to think.

Treating a traumatic brain injury can be expensive. If you, or your loved one, have sustained an injury that resulted in a TBI, you may be entitled to a damage award. Because traumatic brain injury often requires long-term medical treatment, a damage award may include compensation for past, present, and future medical expenses and lost wages, and an award for pain and suffering.
