Brain Injuries

Head Trauma and Brain Injury

Brain injuries usually leave their victims changed forever. The brain is a very sensitive organ. Head trauma of almost any severity can cause permanent damage. Sufferers may have difficulty with speech, memory, and everyday tasks. They may experience less obvious changes, such as subtle shifts in personality. At the Manhattan law firm of Shandell, Blitz, Blitz, & Ashley, our lawyers have helped many clients who have suffered a brain injury as a result of an accident caused by negligence or misconduct by another.

Attorneys known for handling complex cases

Our attorneys are known for their vigorous pursuit of justice for clients. This reputation has grown from our handling of difficult cases, such as those involving seemingly minor head trauma that in reality caused serious cognitive problems. As experienced trial lawyers, we spend the time needed to prepare a strong case for clients. We consult with medical experts, life care planners, and psychiatrists to calculate the effect that any level of brain injury will have on you and your family.

Brain injury is a common result of a serious accident

Our brain injured clients come to us after many different types of accidents, including:

• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Construction site accidents
• Boating accidents
• Defective Premises accidents
• Dangerous product accidents

Mental and financial losses of a brain injury can last a lifetime

Even if some degree of recovery is possible, many of our clients are no longer able to work at the same job or in the same profession after a brain injury. This needs to be included in the determination of the cost of the injury. We work with vocational specialists to make sure this is factored into the calculations we present in our lawsuit.
