TRAUMATIC HEAD INJURY LAWYERS

Over 700,000 people in North America suffer traumatic brain injury, or TBI, each year, and between 70,000 and 90,000 are left with a permanent disability. Approximately half of these injuries result in quadriplegia (loss of movement in both arms and legs), and many more in paraplegia.


  

Incidents resulting in TBI, whether automobile collisions, construction site accidents, or product liability, are often the subject of personal injury lawsuits and litigation. Brain and spinal cord injuries often cause severe physical and psychological consequences, and result in more years of lost productivity than any other injury.
