Head and Brain Injury

Raleigh, North Carolina Accident and Injury Attorney

At the Raleigh, North Carolina law firm of Nagle & Associates, our attorneys never think that it's enough to prove the defendant's liability in a motor vehicle accident lawsuit. We also understand the importance of presenting your damages claim in fully documented detail so that you have the best possible chance of recovering the money you have coming to you. Brain injury cases can present significant challenges for damages assessment, but our experience with the proof of complex injuries can help you collect the compensation that justice requires. Contact our Raleigh accident and injury office for a free consultation about your rights.

While a case of severe traumatic brain injury that results in permanent or long-term disability will usually be recognized as a catastrophic injury, mild or moderate traumatic brain injury can be misdiagnosed or missed altogether. The Raleigh motorcycle accident victim whose fractures and lacerations are treated in the emergency room might also have suffered a concussion that was never diagnosed. Weeks or months later, headaches, personality change, memory loss, sleep disturbance or other symptoms might develop and might be ignored. Our lawyers work closely with our clients and their treating physicians to make sure that all aspects of your injuries are identified, diagnosed and treated.

We also work with forensic experts to help support damages claims in brain injury cases involving disputes about the nature, extent and duration of the trauma. For example, the professional opinion of a neuropsychologist can show how apparently "minor" head trauma might affect particular regions of the brain with particular consequences for cognitive function, memory, speech, sensory function, or other matters.

Most of all, we make sure that brain injury symptoms and consequences are taken into full account in developing and presenting your claim for damages, which will include the expenses of future treatment and rehabilitation as needed.

Whether the brain injury in your case occurred in a car accident, a motorcycle crash, or a collision with a heavy truck, a Nagle & Associates trial attorney has the experience and skill necessary to present your damages claim in a clear and persuasive manner.
