Michigan Brain Injury Attorneys

Brain Injury Attorneys Demanding Justice for TBI Survivors

Brain injuries can be incredibly complex. Far-reaching by nature, these injuries impact many various aspects of a person’s life, including day-to-day functions, physical abilities, social interactions, professional goals, relationships, and more. Brain injuries can also be incredibly challenging for attorneys to prove. This is in part because, while the science behind brain injuries is a rapidly developing area, the medical community and its staging of brain injuries still tend to lag behind. Brain injuries also oftentimes go unnoticed upon a brief encounter. This makes it particularly difficult for brain injury attorneys to convey its full scope and impact on a person’s life to an insurance company or jury. For these reasons and many others, it’s absolutely vital to find an experienced Michigan brain injury law firm to help you or your loved one win your case and access the resources needed for the best recovery possible.

Any form of head trauma can be serious – whether it’s a traumatic brain injury, closed head injury, concussion, or hemorrhage. Therefore, you should treat the experience seriously and seek medical attention right away. Symptoms of serious brain injuries are not always immediate. In fact, many times, people experience a head injury and continue with their daily routine. Days later, they may connect their head injury with the symptoms they’re experiencing – such as dizziness, sensitivity to light, and headaches, to name a few – before calling the doctor.

Brain Injuries from Car Accidents

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, auto accidents are the second-leading cause of traumatic brain injury in Michigan. As a Michigan auto accident law firm, our attorneys have helped hundreds of people living with brain injuries caused by a car crash throughout the years. In the video above, Grand Rapids auto accident attorney, Tom Sinas, describes these types of injuries, underlining the fact that a person can sustain a traumatic brain injury in a car collision without even hitting their head in the crash. He also describes Michigan’s threshold injury law, which requires an injured party has to be able to prove that they have a certain level of injury that surpasses this threshold in order to present their case to a jury. However, Michigan has a special rule regarding brain injuries sustained in auto accidents, which allows the victim to surpass the threshold requirement if a physician who regularly diagnoses and treats closed-head injuries testifies under oath that there may have been a serious neurological injury. Because of this, specialized medical providers play a pivotal role in auto accident cases and the legal rights of victims. Also, people suffering a brain injury caused by a motor vehicle accident are entitled to a set of rights under the Michigan no-fault law. The allowable expense benefit, a portion of the rights most Michigan motorists are entitled to, is even more crucial to those with traumatic brain injuries from car accidents because it can provide long-term medical care. From direct medical care to comprehensive rehabilitation, this benefit can provide a vast array of resources dedicated to helping you on your path to recovery.
