TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES can often go undetected for weeks or months, and may result in devastating losses on the part of the injured person, both physically and economically. A traumatic brain injury can occur when the head violently strikes an object or is violently thrown back and forth causing the brain to strike the inside of the skull. The person experiencing such trauma can remain conscious or lose consciousness for a few brief seconds or minutes.

Automobile accidents happen very often, but may only happen to you once in your lifetime. You may feel that you can handle your own claim with the insurance adjuster. However, in the changing times, you need someone with experience at your side to be your ally in handling your claim.

You cannot rely on your insurance advisor to inform you of all of your rights or to treat you fairly.

We have all heard of someone falling on another person’s property for various reasons such as ice, snow, broken sidewalk, or a raised curb. This could have happened to you or a family member. These injuries can often be severe enough to result in surgery, causing you to be out of commission for a long period of time. Most insurance companies hold the perspective that these claims are not worth anything more than nuisance value and even blame you for falling. As a result, you are left with the medical bills, copay and deductibles, and lost wages that need to be covered.

Injuries to children can have devastating long-term consequences. What appears to be simply a broken bone can fracture in a growth plate and affect the proper development of that bone.

Children cannot always communicate their problems or describe their symptoms clearly. The responsibility falls on the parent to get them the proper care and to get in touch with an attorney. You owe it to your child and their future.
