Brain Injury
From a personal injury perspective, Head injuries, sometimes alternatively referred to as Brain injuries or Traumatic Brain Injury claims (TBI) are often challenging and complex cases to pursue. For the Law Firm entrusted with this task of proving these claims while their clientts are adjusting to all manner of symptoms ranging from Memory and speech to dizziness and headaches, the effort must be continuous. The importance of monitoring and studying the medical reports, assisting where necessary with making sure that the right specialists are evaluating and treating the clients cannot be overstated. There is in some cases institutional bias even within the medical profession where the more subtle types of Brain trauma is invovled. My office has taken the deposition of well known neurologists taked with performing an independent medical exam where they insisted that in the absence of evidence on an MRI or CT Scan of a brain injury that post concussive syndrome would simply not be a credible explanation for ongoing neuro psychological difficulties. That expert opinion, much like the other expressed by the same doctor that a loss of consciousness was necessary to even have a brain injury was not supportable and the motor vehicle case settled before trial for a very substantial six figure sum. For the injured client who must interact with lawyers and provide information and insight into what they are dealing with and how it is affecting their life while in some cases dealing with depression and anxiety the challenges are real as well. Law Firms must sometimes initiate litigation early for a vairety of evidentiary and tactical reasons when such injuries are invovled. Insurance companies often take a measure of convincing by capable councel about the intention to really demand adequate compensation for such injury claims often offering a very small settlement where such injury claims are involved. In Connecticut, Brain injuries continue to occur in many different circumstances often arising from work, medical care, operation of a motor vehicle and sometimes from recreational activities.
