Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers
Serving Montgomery County and Greater Philadelphia
Insurance companies often treat a traumatic brain injury as less serious than it is, especially when the symptoms are not obvious right away. Norman Mittman Law listens to how the injury has changed your life, and as experienced traumatic brain injury lawyers, we fight to make sure the claim reflects the full cost, today and down the road. We represent people hurt in truck crashes, slip and falls, and other accidents across Montgomery County and greater Philadelphia.
Traumatic Brain Injury Cases We Handle
A brain injury can follow a crash, a fall, or a medical mistake. If someone else’s carelessness caused yours, we can hold them responsible.
Common causes include:
Car and Rideshare Crashes
Head strikes against a window, a wheel, or the road can cause serious brain injuries, even at lower speeds.
Commercial Truck Crashes
The force of a truck collision can cause severe head trauma. We go after the trucking company and its insurers.
Slip and Falls
Wet floors, bad stairs, and uneven ground can lead to a hard fall and a head injury.
Work-Related Injuries
Falls from heights and falling objects on a job site can cause lasting brain injuries.
Medical Malpractice
Mistakes during surgery, anesthesia, or childbirth can starve the brain of oxygen and cause lasting harm.
Defective Vehicles
Airbags, seat belts, and other safety parts that fail can leave drivers and passengers with head injuries.
Nursing Home Negligence
Poor supervision and unsafe conditions can lead to falls and head injuries for older loved ones.
Dog Bites and Attacks
A dog attack can knock someone to the ground or injure the head directly.
How a Traumatic Brain Injury Can Affect Your Life
A brain injury does not have to be visible to be serious. Effects can show up right away or weeks later. They may include:
- Memory and Thinking Problems: Trouble focusing, remembering, or making decisions can make work and daily tasks hard.
- Mood and Personality Changes: Anger, anxiety, depression, and sudden mood swings can strain family life.
- Physical Limits: Balance problems, chronic headaches, and slowed movement can limit what you can do.
- Speech and Sensory Changes: Some people struggle to find words, or deal with vision, hearing, or sensitivity to light and sound.
- Seizures: Some brain injuries lead to seizures that need ongoing treatment.
- Lost Ability to Work: Many people cannot return to their old job, or any job, after a serious brain injury.
If you or someone you love has any of these problems after a crash, fall, or medical error, a claim may help cover medical care, rehab, lost income, and other costs.
How We Fight for You
In Pennsylvania, you generally must show that someone owed you a duty of care, failed to meet it, and that failure caused your injury and losses.
Here is how we work to do that:
Investigate Your Claim
We look into how the injury happened and who is responsible. We review reports, talk to witnesses, and find out what went wrong.
Collect Evidence
We gather medical records, scans, and work history. We work with medical experts to show how the injury affects your daily life.
Negotiate with Insurers
Insurers may downplay a brain injury because it is hard to see. We push back and fight for what your claim is worth.
Provide Compassionate Guidance
We listen, return your calls, and explain each step in plain English. You and your family stay informed and prepared.
