Traumatic brain injuries are among the most serious and life-altering injuries a person can sustain. They affect cognitive function, personality, memory, and physical abilities in ways that may be permanent. GroverLawKC advocates fiercely for TBI victims and their families throughout the Kansas City area.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when the brain is damaged by an external force — through a direct blow, a violent shaking, or a penetrating injury. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe injuries that cause permanent cognitive and physical disability. Even "mild" TBIs can have lasting effects on concentration, memory, mood, and daily functioning.
Car accidents, truck collisions, falls, and sporting accidents are the leading causes of TBI. Because the symptoms are not always immediately apparent, TBIs are sometimes missed in initial emergency evaluations. If you were in an accident and subsequently experienced headaches, memory problems, personality changes, or difficulty concentrating, seek medical attention and legal counsel immediately.
The Long-Term Impact of TBI
Severe TBIs can result in a lifetime of medical care, cognitive therapy, and assistance with daily living. The cost of caring for a severe TBI victim over a lifetime can reach millions of dollars. These costs must be fully accounted for in any settlement or verdict to ensure the victim and their family are protected.
Our firm works with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners to document the full extent of TBI injuries and their long-term consequences. We will not accept a settlement that does not account for everything you will need.
Fighting for TBI Victims and Their Families
Brain injury cases require specialized knowledge and resources. Insurance companies often try to minimize TBI claims by arguing symptoms are exaggerated or caused by pre-existing conditions. We counter these tactics with comprehensive medical documentation and expert testimony.
