TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

Many personal injuries can result in a brain injury to the victim, which can hamper that individual’s ability to function in everyday life or hold down a job.  These brain injuries will often manifest themselves by periods of confusion, forgetfulness, loss of the sense of taste or smell, and difficulty with organization and maintaining a train of thought.  Brain injuries can occur even where there are no outwardly visible signs of injury such as fractures, cuts or bruises.  Anytime you or a loved one are involved in an incident involving any loss of consciousness, no matter how minor or transient, you should monitor carefully for any brain injury resulting from the incident.

Our experienced team of North Carolina brain injury lawyers has successfully handled a number of cases involving traumatic brain injury to their clients.  These cases are often difficult as there are no other outward signs of traumatic injury.  Further, our clients must confront insurance company arguments that they are not injured and simply malingering. 

These cases involve extensive interviewing by our North Carolina brain injury lawyers with our clients’ friends, co-workers, neighbors and treating doctors.  They frequently involve examination by a neurologist or neuropsychologist if our client is not already seeing such a provider.  We maintain contacts with local neurologists and neuropsychologists who can examine our clients in the event questions arise as to the extent of their injuries.  These neurologists and neuropsychologists can provide our clients with strategies to overcome their difficulties and get back to leading normal lives. 

If you or a loved one suffer from a traumatic brain injury, one of the largest problems to be encountered is the ability to hold down a job.  If you or a loved one is not able to maintain employment, the financial burdens on family can often be quite significant.  Since this is a burden which would not have arisen except for the brain injury, this future wage loss is something for which you or your loved one is entitled to compensation.  Our network of vocational experts and economists can evaluate your capacity to return to work, and also put a figure on your future wage-earning losses in the event you are not able to return to work, or can only do so in a diminished wage-earning capacity.  At Brown Moore and Associates our North Carolina brain injury lawyers will vigorously pursue your or your loved one’s claim for current and future medical expenses, as well as the value of any future wage losses resulting from the injury.
