Below are some reasons why TBI cases can be more complex than other personal injury cases:

• Head and brain injuries can have serious physical, emotional and cognitive effects that may impact a person’s life forever. Attorneys have to be very knowledgeable and experienced to be able to effectively capture the impact a brain injury may have on someone’s life and to aggressively represent the victim to ensure the maximum compensation possible.
• Brain injury cases can be very expensive. Not only can the medical cost of treating brain injuries be enormous, but the cost of hiring medical experts to prove and build up a case can also be significant. A brain injury attorney should have the resources available to pursue such cases. At Demas Law Group, P.C., we strive to hire the best experts in the field such as investigators, neurologists, neuropsychologists, vocational rehab counselors, and economists. In prior cases, we have invested over $200,000 in costs alone to hire the best scientists and experts in the field.
• Some brain injuries may be difficult to prove. Head and brain injuries are subtle and not easily identifiable (even with an x-ray or CAT-scan). To show that an accident caused a brain injury, lawyers may rely on many different experts and witnesses, whose testimony may not always be considered objective by the defense. To show that a trauma caused brain injury, lawyers often need to call on witnesses who knew the victim before the injury occurred and who have seen the effects of brain damage on the victim.
• Because the science involved in serious brain injuries is evolving constantly, brain injury lawyers need to remain up-to-date with current treatments and medical research. They also need to be familiar with the best medical treatments and experts in the field to best serve their clients.
