Brain Injury Attorneys

The brain injury lawyers at Fineberg Gresham understand how serious injuries can have a lasting effect on your life.  Similar to any catastrophic injury, the impact of brain injuries are significant and life-altering.  The effects are often debilitating and sometimes permanent.  In addition to pain and suffering, victims are faced with:

• medical bills
• loss of wages
• loss of mobility
• future medical care needs and expenses

Brain Injury Statistics

The International Brain Injury Association reports that in the United States, 1 million people are treated annually in emergency rooms for traumatic brain injury (TBI), 230,000 people are hospitalized and survive, 80,000 end up with a TBI related disability, and 50,000 die.  In addition, they estimate that 5.3 million Americans are living with a disability from a brain injury.  About 50 to 70 percent of all traumatic brain injuries are the result of car accidents.

Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain.  Traumatic brain injury can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object or when an object pierces the skull, and enters brain tissue. Injuries include:

• Concussions
• Contusions
• Diffuse Axonal Brain Injury
• Coup-Countrecoup Brain Injury
• Penetration Brain Injury

There are several sub-categories of traumatic brain injury.  Sports accidents, car accidents, trucking accidents, and many other sources of impact or penetration of the skull or brain can lead to a traumatic brain injury.  We use state of the art technology, to include 3-D brain mapping when appropriate, and prove the nature, extent, and magnitude of the traumatic brain injury. 

Acquired Brain Injury

An acquired brain injury is not hereditary.  Rather, an acquired brain injury is caused by an internal condition within the body, such as the loss of adequate oxygen to the brain.  An acquired brain injury can result from many factors that may not necessarily be the negligence of another, including certain health and drug-related problems.  Types of acquired brain injuries include:

• Anoxia - complete deprivation of oxygen
• Hypoxia - regional or partial deprivation of oxygen

Traumatic brain injuries can result in life-changing mental and physical disabilities.  A once active person may be subjected to a life of disability and dependency on their loved ones and others.  Often the impact of any catastrophic injury on the victim's loved ones is profound.  The victim may emerge with a different personality or require around-the-clock care for the rest of their life.  Seeking assistance from experienced brain injury attorneys at Fineberg Gresham can provide a sliver of peace to a family in an inconceivably difficult and grief-stricken situation.  Fineberg Gresham attorneys can help your family recover financially in a court of law and help the victim receive government benefits. 

For example, in one of our cases, the Plaintiff was hospitalized with pneumonia.  He developed respiratory distress, which lead to respiratory failure.  Unfortunately, he did not receive enough oxygen to his brain, resulting in permanent brain damage.  The Plaintiff went from an otherwise healthy 42 year-old to living in a nursing home.  We assembled a team of experts, including a pulmonologist, neurologists, psychologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, economists, and life care planners to present this case to a jury.  The case was ordered to a summary jury trial in which a real jury heard the evidence and rendered an advisory verdict of $18.7M in the Plaintiff’s favor.  Read more about this case and watch videos of Fineberg Gresham attorneys presenting this case to the summary jury.
