A traumatic brain injury or closed head injury can cause headache, nausea and double vision. Brain injury victims can suffer loss of cognitive abilities and memory, and have impaired vision, hearing and speech. Mood swings are typical, as are difficulties with relationships.

- Accident investigation: Our law firm has the ability to thoroughly investigate the accident that caused the brain injury. It is crucial for us to establish liability and the causative connection between the head trauma and resulting impairments so that your loved one can receive necessary financial compensation.
- The future after brain injury: A brain injury can render the victim completely unemployable. Rehabilitation is unpredictable. The victim may never recover enough brain function to have a normal or near-normal life.
- PTSD and other psychiatric/psychological disorders: The after-effects of an accident may include post-traumatic stress disorder or other psychological problems. Our personal injury lawyers know the signs and symptoms from many years of experience. They will work with your doctors or help you find new ones who are familiar with the disorder so that proper and timely treatment is obtained.
- Medical malpractice brain injuries: Birth trauma often results in brain injury — a subdural hematoma from forceps, lack of oxygen during the birth, undiagnosed tumors, or other infectious processes can damage a brain for life. Brain injuries can be caused by medication errors or other monitoring failures in the hospital setting.
If a loved one has suffered a brain injury in an accident or because of medical malpractice, contact us for an appointment at the Greenberg & Greenberg law firm. We can help you with a malpractice or personal injury claim to recover for brain injury.
