Brain Injury Lawyer

Continuing an early post where I discussed representing a client with a mild brain injury.

Defense attorneys' tactics at trial emphasize the theme that there is nothing wrong with the plaintiff. They point to the lack of loss of consciousness or minimal loss of consciousness, a short trip to the emergency room with no further hospitalization, the usual negative results of the diagnostic tests and the plaintiff's "normal" appearance.

In order to well represent such a client, a multi-disciplinary approach is needed in the presentation of the case. Each discipline should and must supplement and complement the other. It is necessary that the plaintiff's trial attorney take the initiative immediately to explain the biomechanics of the injury, explain the insignificance of negative diagnostic tests and present the jury with a clear understanding of the devastating effects of the "mild" head injury.

Mild or severe brain injury is more detail than I was provided after large fragments entered my left lobe. My injury required me to spend three days after surgery in ICU. In a random attack close to home in a residential neihborhood, my skull was the real taget for holding a gay brain. When i woke no doctor spoke to me, there were so many cuts on my head spouting blood when I walked in my house after the attack kinda knowing I had alreaedy bedn uncousi. I thought from what i saw in the mirror that i was going to die. 4 days later when I regained my life no details were proved about my injury. In three days following ICU my discharge left me poory equiped and neglected at best. Once my mother was told it was a gay bashing, all care was cut despite her coverage. 16 years old and I had quit school to work for a marketing research firm full time and my GED meant schol was over. Quickly learned that I was not able to make phone calls and unable to travel at certain hours(anxiety) the job ended. There were 150 seats in the firm and I had been considered for more than a year at the firm an exceptional producing rep. One or two completed surveys each hour prior was normanl, after my injury one per shft couldn't happen. None of my work was exceptable when i returned and did not realize that i changed. My bosses did what they could. My mother would not allow me to follow there advice and apply for assistence. Once this job was lost, homeeless years and abuse impact on me. More than ten years before seizures caused my to see a neurologist in bellevue. They knew what I didn't sending me for testing and assisting me in SSI and medicaid benifits. Requesting surgery records at that time. It had been worse, much worse finding the doctors did knot know during the first three days if add surger would be needed from bleeding. Notes that a subdural hematoma rmained meant I left the hospital needing care.
Being a victim inandofitself creates a need for better care and require healing time.

THee was no financial need for me to work. Medical care coverage and an executive director of a brokerage house pay should have provided the safety. It fwas used as a reason to injure my by kids, and my mother to justify hate. Knowing how doctors feel about malpractice and the law will know dishcarge and forget caused so much pain. WHen 9 months later the paperwork my dr. preired did not cause him to think of me. reports and bills when i was homeless....
