Brain Injuries

One of the most traumatic, significant, and life-changing injuries that an individual can suffer is an injury to the brain. Obviously, an injury to the brain can impact every aspect of our work and day-to-day lives. A brain injury may be limited to minor difficulty with memory or concentration. More severe brain injuries may involve loss of motor function, severe memory and cognitive brain function loss, as well as difficulties with speech.

It is important in brain injury cases that you hire an attorney that understands the impact brain injuries have not only on the injured worker, but also on your entire family. This is especially true because it is common in brain injury cases that the insurance carrier and the employer simply do not believe the injured worker’s statements with regard to memory, concentration, and cognitive impairment. You will need an attorney who is experienced and ready to fight for you and your family. These cases often turn on the expert testimony of treating doctors, and experts selected and hired by your attorney. We have handled many cases involving injured workers who have sustained significant brain injuries. In addition to retaining an attorney who is very experienced with these issues, you will need an attorney who can assist you in advancing the litigation expenses necessary to obtain the medical and expert opinions necessary to obtain the benefits to which you are entitled.

The attorneys at Wertz & Dake would be happy to speak with you, if you or a loved one has sustained a brain injury while working. We believe we are uniquely situated to help workers who have suffered brain injuries following a workplace injury.
