Brain injuries come in many forms. From minor closed head injuries to catastrophic trauma resulting in prolonged comas. Each person suffering from such an injury faces his or her own unique problems. The injured person and his or her family will be faced with special challenges in the rehabilitation process.

In order to obtain the highest compensation for the brain injured person, he or she needs a lawyer who understands these unique challenges. That means, you need a lawyer willing to work with your treating doctor, neurologist, occupational therapist, neuro-psychologist, and rehabilitation specialist in order to understand the total impact of the injury upon the person and their family. If you do not have such a specialist on your medical team, you need assistance finding the appropriate experts to help you in the rehabilitation process.

Each year in the United States an estimated 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) - a blow or jolt to the head, which can disrupt the function of the brain. The severity of a TBI can range from a mild concussion to the extremes of coma or even death. At least 5.3 million Americans currently live with disabilities resulting from TBI. The leading causes of these types of injuries are:

• Vehicle accidents and crashes
• Firearm use
• Slips and/or falls
