Unlike many other types of personal injuries, brain injuries almost always result in lifelong consequences. In personal injury law, these injuries are typically referred to as traumatic brain injuries.

At Nugent & Bryant, we know what victims of traumatic brain injury face in their daily lives. Because personal injury is our primary practice area, we have handled these tragic cases. When you work closely with an accident victim suffering from a brain injury, you appreciate how hard they must struggle to perform daily tasks most people take for granted. Over the years, we have built meaningful relationships with our clients and their families. As a result, we are firmly dedicated to helping the people we represent obtain justice for their injuries.

Brain injures result from a variety of accidents. Many traumatic brain injuries occur in car crashes, where external objects bluntly impact the skull. Others are caused by slips and falls. Some victims are injured due to a doctor’s negligence during surgery when oxygen deprivation leads to irreversible brain damage.

Because the brain is the body’s most complex organ, physicians are still largely mystified regarding its ability to recover after trauma. Although some brain injury victims go on to lead relatively ordinary lives, others suffer catastrophic head injuries and never get back to what was a normal life. The financial, mental and emotional cost of these injuries is enormous. Victims and their families must pay for hospital bills, doctors’ visits, therapy, rehabilitation, lost wages, diminished earning capacity and in-home nursing care. In some cases, grieving family members must bear funeral costs for a loved one who has died as a result of severe brain injuries.
