Brain Injury Specialists in Vrginia Beach Understand How to Handle TBI Claims

Rick is a Virginia injury attorney who handles car accidents, medical malpractice, FELA, wrongful death, etc.

A brain injury can have devastating and permanent side effects. After suffering such an injury, many victims experience difficulties with speaking, memory and motor functions. If you or a loved one has sustained a serious head or brain injury due to the carelessness of another person or company, you should consider pursuing a claim against the at-fault party. But be sure not to hire a lawyer haphazardly. Too many personal injury lawyers who advertise that they handle brain injury cases actually do nothing more than refer your case to more-experienced attorneys.

This is why you should contact our Virginia (VA) injury law firm. Our Virginia Beach-based attorneys have been described by others as “brain injury specialists,” and we have actually achieved successful results for numerous clients in brain injury cases.

For example, our firm secured a record-setting $46 million jury verdict ($60 million with interest) for a man who suffered a life-altering head injury when a train derailed and crashed into the gas station where he was wroking. We are very proud of this verdict since the victim, our client, will need medical assistance for the rest of his life.

Another example is a $340,000 award our firm secured through arbitration for a car accident victim. Our client’s head injury was so bad that he did not actually understand who his wife was until weeks after the car crash. He also remembered nothing about the day of the accident.

These and many other case results illustrate that our firm actually knows what to do when we sit down and talk to a potential client who has suffered a serious head injury.
