Your Richmond, Virginia Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys

According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC"), an estimated 1.7 million people sustain a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) each year. The vast majority of brain injuries involve concussions or other forms of mild TBI. Per the CDC, "a TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. The severity of a TBI may range from 'mild', i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness, to 'severe', i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury."

The Brain Injury Association of America ("BIAA") states: "Brain injury is not an event or an outcome. It is the start of a misdiagnosed, misunderstood, under-funded neurological disease. Brain injury is unpredictable in its consequences. Brain injury affects who we are, the way we think, act, and feel. It can change everything about us in a matter of seconds."

If you or a family member has suffered a traumatic brain injury through no fault of your own, you should seek an attorney who has experience, knowledge and a successful record in handling head injury cases. The development and trial of a TBI case presents unique and difficult challenges to the litigant and his or her attorney. The biggest challenge is usually the fact that you cannot tell just by looking at someone that he or she has suffered a brain injury. An attorney who knows how to meet these challenges and who has successfully handled TBI cases should be consulted.
