A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can take away your ability to think clearly, work, talk, or take care of your family. While you need medical care, the bills pile up fast. On top of that, the insurance company doesn't care about giving you the money you deserve.
You did not ask for this, and you should not have to pay the price for someone else's mistake.
At DM Injury Law, our brain injury attorneys are here to fight for the money you are owed. We handle serious injury cases that need real medical care or hospital stays. While you focus on healing, we focus on getting you the money you need to move forward.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Some brain injuries show up right away, while others take days or weeks to appear. Any one of them can change your life. Our TBI attorney has deep experience handling cases involving these injuries:
- Concussion: The most common type of TBI. A concussion happens when a hit to the head shakes the brain. It can cause headaches, dizziness, memory problems, and trouble focusing.
- Contusion: This is a bruise on the brain caused by a direct blow. A large contusion may need surgery.
- Penetrating injury: This happens when an object breaks through the skull and enters the brain. These are very serious and often life-threatening.
- Diffuse axonal injury: This happens when the brain shakes hard inside the skull, tearing the nerve fibers. It can lead to coma or permanent brain damage.
- Coup-contrecoup injury: This is when the brain is hurt in two places—where it was hit, and on the opposite side where it slammed against the skull.
Some effects of a TBI are easy to see. Others are hidden. A person may look fine on the outside but struggle with memory, mood, and thinking. Proving these "invisible" effects takes skill, and it is something our team knows how to do.
Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that there were about 214,110 TBI-related hospitalizations in one recent year. If someone else's carelessness caused your injury, we can help. Common causes we see include:

How a TBI Lawyer Can Help You
When you hire our team, we take the weight off your shoulders. You focus on getting better, while we handle the fight. Here is what we do for you:
- Deal with the aggressive insurance adjusters so you don't have to
- Gather police reports, hospital records, and medical bills
- Build a strong wall of evidence to prove your case
- Bring in medical experts to explain the full impact of your injury
- Fight for every dollar you deserve
Insurance companies love to push victims into accepting low settlements. We will not let them push you around. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial. That shows the insurance company we are ready to fight, and it pushes them to pay what is fair.
Compensation Available to Brain Injury Victims
A traumatic brain injury can cost your family everything. The point of a lawsuit is to give you the financial security you need to keep going. We fight to make your settlement or verdict as large as possible.
Our team will add up every penny you have lost. You may be able to recover money for:
- Medical Expenses: This covers all costs related to your treatment, from initial hospital stays and surgeries to ongoing needs like doctor visits, physical therapy, medication, and specialized medical equipment. Compensation includes both past expenses and the estimated cost of future care you will require throughout your life.
- Lost Income: This includes the wages and benefits you have already lost because your injury prevents you from working. It also covers "loss of earning capacity," which is the income you would have reasonably been expected to earn in the future had you not been injured.
- Long-Term Care: If the brain injury results in a permanent need for daily assistance or residential care, compensation can cover the costs of nursing homes, in-home health aides, and other long-term support services.
- Home and Vehicle Modifications: To accommodate new disabilities, you may need to make changes to your living environment. This can include the cost of installing wheelchair ramps, widening doorways, adding grab bars in bathrooms, or purchasing a specially equipped vehicle.
- Pain and Suffering: This compensates you for the non-economic impact of the injury. It includes the physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, loss of enjoyment of life, and other ways the injury has negatively affected your well-being.

Traumatic Brain Injury FAQs
How do I know if I have a traumatic brain injury?
Some signs show up right away, like headaches, dizziness, confusion, or passing out. Others take time, like memory loss, mood changes, trouble sleeping, or problems focusing. If you hit your head in an accident, see a doctor right away, even if you feel okay. Getting checked out fast protects both your health and your case.
How much does it cost to hire a brain injury attorney?
It costs you nothing out of pocket. We work on a contingency fee basis. We cover all the costs of investigating and fighting your case. We only get paid a percentage if we win money for you. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle out of court. Insurance companies know our lawyers are ready to fight, so they often agree to a fair settlement. But if they refuse to pay what is fair, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to protect your rights.
What if my brain injury symptoms didn't show up right away?
That is very common with brain injuries. The hidden effects of a TBI can be hard to prove, but our team knows how to do it. We bring in medical experts and gather the right evidence to show the full impact of your injury.
