Advocating for Victims of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are among the most complex and misunderstood personal injury cases. Symptoms may not appear immediately and can worsen over time, making these cases difficult for insurance companies and medical providers to fully evaluate. We advocate aggressively for brain injury victims by:
- Recognizing the hidden and long-term effects of TBIs
- Working with medical specialists and expert witnesses
- Pushing back against insurance companies that minimize injuries
- Fighting for full and fair compensation
Understanding Brain Injuries
Brain injuries occur when the brain experiences trauma that disrupts normal function. These injuries can range from mild to severe, but even so-called “mild” brain injuries can have lasting consequences. Common causes of brain injuries include motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle and bicycle crashes, pedestrian accidents, workplace accidents, and acts of violence. Brain injuries may result in symptoms such as memory loss, headaches, dizziness, personality changes, difficulty concentrating, and loss of motor function. Because these symptoms can evolve over time, early legal and medical intervention is critical.
Why Legal Representation Matters
Brain injury claims are medically and legally complex. Insurance companies often dispute the severity of the injury or argue that symptoms are unrelated to the accident. Without skilled legal representation, victims risk receiving far less compensation than they need for long-term care. An experienced brain damage attorney can:
- Collect and preserve medical evidence
- Consult neurologists and rehabilitation experts
- Calculate future medical and financial needs
- Handle all insurance negotiations
- Prepare your case for trial if necessary
Types of Compensation Available
A successful brain injury claim may provide compensation for both immediate and long-term losses. Depending on your case, damages may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Long-term care or in-home assistance

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions for our brain attorneys? Here are some frequently asked questions to get you started:
- What Should I Do After a Brain Injury? – Seek immediate medical attention, follow all treatment recommendations, document your symptoms, and avoid discussing your case with insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.
- How Long Do I Have to File a Claim? – In most Virginia personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Delays can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation.
- What If I’m Partially at Fault for the Accident? – Virginia follows a contributory negligence rule. If you are found even partially at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages. An attorney can help challenge unfair fault determinations.
