Proving Brain Injury/Closed Head Injury-Presenting the Injury Proof At Trial With Experts

Proving a "mild traumatic brain injury"/closed head injury at a jury trial can be challenging, especially when a client is walking and talking and by many appearances, looks fine.  However, serious memory and cognitive functioning issues can exist, and must be proven by an injury trial lawyer.  We posted a prior brain injury case result verdict from a West Virginia court jury of $365,000.00, and explain how we assisted our client, a West Virginia (WV) railroad engineer where everything was contested and fought by his railroad employer (it was an FELA lawsuit by the engineer against his employer).  We worked with the neuro-psychiatrist, a biomechanical engineer, and other experts to prove the case, and for the complete case result report click here.






About the Editors: Shapiro, Lewis & Appleton is a VA injury law firm whose attorneys focus on personal injury and accident law and have experience handling cases brought by victims of traumatic brain injury and closed head injuries. In fact, in 2000, our firm helped a plaintiff receive what was then the largest verdict ever in a Virginia brain injury case. We also have a blog in which we discuss only topics related to brain injuries and head wounds.
