The Varying Degrees of Severity in Brain Injury

In general, the more severe a brain injury is, the more likely it is for a judge and jury to be convinced that the brain-damaged individual needs compensation. The disabling effects of the injury are clearly visible in more severe cases, and so the greater challenge for the attorney is to ensure that the court fully understands how much compensation is justly due.

But in a less severe case, the attorney faces a far more nuanced challenge. In the classic closed head injury with minor brain damage or a concussion, the injured individual may appear entirely normal. Below the surface, the symptoms of his or her injury are clear — such as disorientation or a loss of short-term memory. But since these symptoms can be easily faked, the challenge is for the attorney to conclusively prove that the client is legitimately injured.

Working With Experts — Proving the Claim

One way to meet this challenge is to use expert testimony. At Sitlinger, McGlincy, Theiler & Karem, we consult with experts for almost all cases involving catastrophic injury. Nowhere is this more essential than in dealing with the complex workings of the brain. Whether you have a severe injury with head trauma resulting in a drastic mental deficiency or a milder injury with subtle yet incontrovertible effects, we can do what it takes to help you recover the settlement you deserve.

In addition, we also have experience in representing defendants in personal injury claims. This experience gives us the insight and perspective to best serve our clients' long term interests.
