Do you have the Right Brain Injury Lawyer?
I first wrote the an essay on this topic in 1997, and my list has remained mostly unchanged since: http://tbilaw.com/essays/choiceoflawyer.html I still think these questions which are listed below are good questions to start with. But of course, one could argue that those questions were self serving then, as I of course fit all such ...
Severe Versus Mild Prognosis
I got this email exchange this week, about something I wrote more than a decade ago: Is this a typo? http://www.waiting.com/recoveryexpect.html A so-called “mild” brain injury may result in substantial deficits which may affect a person’s life permanently, while a person who has suffered a “severe” brain injury may be able to return to a ...
Venting at Emergency Room Doctors
Is it really so unreasonable to expect someone who is working in an Emergency Room, to know a few simple things about concussion and amnesia. Here is what it says in the medical record I am reviewing now, a record from an emergency room, three days post accident: “This patient was involved in an accident ...
No Justice without Documentation of Injury
“It isn’t fair, I got hurt, what do you mean you don’t want my case?” I wish I could help everyone. I feel bad when I can’t. A million concussions a year in this country, conservatively 150,000 people disabled as a result. That would make me a very busy man. I am not that busy. ...
From a Former Client
Editor’s note: Cindy is an amazing person, whose life was terribly changed by a an accident she suffered. She was brilliant, and still is one of the most creative and interesting thinkers I know. Yet: I’ve been following this discussion regarding terminology and it has generated a lot of thoughts for me. I have problems ...
Footprints of Pathology
“No objective evidence of injury.” The defense argument that there is “no objective evidence of injury” is so predictable in every brain injury case, it is a tactic I try to attack from all angles. Imaging studies are not our only objective findings in medicine. We also accept the “footprint of pathology” signs as objective. ...
How Doctors Don’t Think About Brain Damage
Every day, I encounter another example, either in the calls we get from our websites, or in the news media, or some where else, as to how Doctors don’t ever consider the potential for brain damage in the differential diagnosis. While it isn’t a real world example, this one is kind of fun to make ...
Brain Damage or Is it Mild Head Injury or what?
I have dealt with the semantics of what to call someone who suffered brain damage after an accident or injury as long as I have been represented such individuals. When I first started, there was an organization called the NHIF, National Head Injury Foundation. Then it was deemed inaccurate, or politically correct or something, and ...
Lawyer: How to Interact with your Brain Damaged Client
Editors Note: Two days ago, my paralegal Jayne wrote a Blog on how potential clients should interact with a law firm when they are trying to get them to take their case. I then asked a former client to write the counterpoint to Jayne’s Blog: how she thought a law firm should interact with a ...
Korean Boxer Death – Coma Wasn’t Immediate
The death of Korean boxer Choi Yo-sam eight days after he fell into a coma, after winning his last fight is significant, not just because of the barbarity of allowing the sport of Boxing to exist. It is also significant because it is the ultimate demonstration that a person does not have to suffer an ...
