Our extensive experience in this field has given us an understanding of the very complex nature of handling these cases. One of the more frustrating (yet surprisingly common) aspects of Traumatic Brain Injuries is that the injured party may appear as though they have not sustained an injury at all. However, internally their mental processing capacity may be diminished or affected in very serious ways. For example, it is not uncommon for individuals to lose the ability to remember information or complete routine tasks. This in turns leads to being unable to maintain employment or proceed with education. We have often found it to be the loved ones of the victim who contact us for help. The individual suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury often does not know they actually have sustained the problems or do not want to admit they are unable to complete activities that used to be ordinary and easy.

Another 16.5% result from the victim's head being struck by or against an object, as in the case of many construction accidents, and 10% are suffered in assaults.
