Unfortunately, some lawyers and law firms may not have the training to properly identify and document traumatic brain injuries sustained in accidents. When appropriate, Leiker Law, LLC identifies and properly documents concussions and traumatic brain injuries from the outset of your case.
Suffering a traumatic brain injury can be a life changing experience. The Centers for Disease Control reports that approximately 1.7 million people suffer from some form of traumatic brain injury every year, and that it contributes to nearly one third of all injury related deaths in America.
One key component to properly documenting a TBI case is comparing the problems of the injured person before and after the accident. Personal injury attorney Jarrett Leiker has extensive training on how to properly document and build head injury claims.
