These injuries can leave victims permanently disabled and in need of months, and even years, of rehabilitation and therapy.Dealing with victims of brain injury is a very important part of our practice at Silver & Agacinski, P.A. Traumatic Brain Injury, also known as TBI, describes an impairment of brain functioning. It can result from many sources, including: injury, infection or lack of oxygen. Traumatically induced brain injury can be caused by motor vehicle accidents, falls, head strikes, construction site injuries, chemical exposure, near drowning, birth related injuries, and hospital and medical negligence. While no amount of money can replace the loss of cognitive function, brain damage cases regularly require large settlements as a result of the need for lifelong care and because of the horrific impact it can have on the lives of those affected by such an injury. All too often, people suffering what is termed "mild brain injury" are not taken seriously. Often, they are not properly represented because their lawyer is not sophisticated in the handling of these types of cases and doesn't fully understand the seriousness and potentially far reaching consequences of such an injury.
