When people suffer brain injuries, they often experience changes in their physical coordination, fine motor skills, cognitive abilities, and even their personalities. The brain is the control center for the entire body, and when it gets damaged, whether from an accident, medical complication, or violent act, life may never be the same for the victim and his or her family.
If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury due to an accident, assault, or medical mistake, you may be entitled to compensation. Brain injury victims often face long roads to recovery, and injury-related disabilities can prevent them from going back to work for months, years, or even permanently.
At Owens & Mulherin Injury Lawyers, we know the difficulties that victims and their families face after brain injuries. When you contact us, we’ll make sure the insurance company knows how your brain injury has affected your life or the life of a loved one. We’ll also consult experts and obtain the medical evaluations necessary to prove and explain your injury.
