Contact us in Winston-Salem for a free consultation.

Because medical knowledge and technology are still developing as to the diagnosis and treatment of serious brain injuries, the nature and extent of the victim's injuries are often hotly disputed issues in personal injury litigation, even when liability against the defendant is firmly established. We therefore devote careful attention to the development and presentation of damages evidence that accurately identifies and characterizes the brain injury at issue in your case.

Our attorneys rely on the support and testimony of medical, rehabilitation, and neuropsychological experts to define brain injury damages and their prospects for treatment and recovery in such cases as the following:

• Mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injury
• Closed head injuries involving blunt force blows or post-concussive disorder
• Acquired brain injury such as anoxia, hypoxia, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), or cerebral palsy

Severe brain injuries are the frequent result of motor vehicle collisions, construction accidents, medical malpractice, or criminal assaults in poorly secured buildings or parking lots. We litigate brain injury cases on a contingent fee basis. In other words, we only collect an attorney's fee when we achieve a settlement or jury verdict on your claims.
