Brain Injuries

Personal Injury Lawyer: Brain Damage

Each year, at least 1.5 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to the Brain Injury Association of America. That's more than 4,000 new cases every day. One million people are treated and released annually from hospital emergency rooms after sustaining a brain injury.

Damage to the brain claims more than 50,000 lives and leaves more than 80,000 individuals with lifelong disabilities each year.

Representing the Injured

At the Law Offices of Michael M. Kaplan, our attorney represents people who have suffered brain damage in all types of accidents, including car wrecks, motorcycle accidents, truck collisions, boating and swimming accidents, and falls. We also represent clients whose children suffered brain damage because of a birth injury or surgical error.

We understand that a head injury can cause permanent impairment—even if nothing shows up on the MRI or CT scans. We work with respected experts, including neuropsychologists, to document the full extent of your injuries. And we aggressively pursue the maximum possible amount of financial compensation for our clients.

Brain injuries range from a mild concussion to traumatic brain injuries that can cause coma, amnesia, and death. Symptoms may include:

• Loss of consciousness
• Vision changes
• Dizziness, balance problems
• Coma
• Paralysis, difficulty moving body parts, weakness, poor coordination
• Lethargy (sluggish, sleepy, gets tired easily)
• Headache
• Confusion
• Ringing in the ears, or changes in ability to hear
• Difficulty with thinking skills (difficulty “thinking straight”, memory problems, poor judgment, poor attention span, a slowed thought processing speed)
• Inappropriate emotional responses (irritability, easily frustrated, inappropriate crying or laughing)
• Difficulty speaking, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing
• Body numbness or tingling
