Brain Injury Lawyer
Fighting for traumatic brain injury victims in New York
Experienced Brain Injury Representation
Traumatic brain injuries are among the most devastating injuries, causing permanent cognitive impairment, personality changes, memory loss, and loss of independence. Whether caused by car accidents, falls, medical malpractice, or assaults, TBIs require lifetime medical care and dramatically reduce quality of life.
Brain injury cases demand specialized legal and medical expertise. Proving TBI requires neurologists, neuropsychologists, life care planners, vocational experts, and economists to document cognitive deficits, future care needs, and lifetime economic losses. Insurance companies aggressively dispute TBI claims, especially when injuries aren't visible on scans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when external force causes brain damage—from car accidents, falls, assaults, sports injuries, or struck-by accidents. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe injuries causing permanent cognitive impairment, personality changes, memory loss, or death. Even "mild" TBIs can have lasting effects on cognition, mood, and quality of life.
What are signs of a traumatic brain injury?
Symptoms include loss of consciousness, confusion, headaches, nausea, dizziness, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, sleep disturbances, sensitivity to light/sound, slurred speech, and seizures. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over hours or days. Any head trauma requires immediate medical evaluation.
Do I need to lose consciousness to have a TBI?
No. You can suffer a traumatic brain injury without losing consciousness. Many TBI victims never lose consciousness but still suffer brain damage causing lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical problems. Any head impact, sudden jolt, or whiplash can cause TBI.
What compensation can I recover?
Brain injury cases involve substantial compensation including medical expenses, future medical care and therapy, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, cognitive rehabilitation, home modifications, attendant care, pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and in severe cases, lifetime care costs. TBI cases often result in multi-million dollar verdicts due to permanent, life-altering injuries.
Why do I need a brain injury attorney?
TBI cases are complex, requiring medical experts to document cognitive impairments, neuropsychological testing, life care planning, and vocational assessments. Insurance companies minimize TBI claims, especially when injuries aren't visible. You need an attorney who understands brain injuries and works with medical experts to prove the full extent and cost of your injuries.
