Each year in the United States approximately 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury - a blow or jolt to the head, which disrupts the function of the brain. Of the 1.4 million people injured, 50,000 die, 235,000 are hospitalized, and 1.1 million are just treated and released from an emergency room. Representing people with acquired traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in South Carolina takes a lot of expertise to prove what caused the injury, and to establish a full valuation of damages. These are incredibly important and complex cases, and they must be handled appropriately to ensure the best results for the injured person. The severity of a TBI can range from a mild concussion to coma or even death. A traumatic brain injury can cause short-term or long-term problems with the injured person’s ability to function independently. At least 5.3 million Americans currently have disabilities resulting from permanent TBI. Those with severe, moderate, or even mild TBI require representation by an attorney who is well-educated to represent them in these difficult cases. In the past, injured people with mild to moderate TBI have often gone undiagnosed. The tragedy is that this failure to properly diagnose could leave the injured victim unable to account for their loss of jobs, lifestyle, and activities. Traumatic Brain Injuries can happen anywhere, but we see them most often in:

• Vehicle accidents and crashes
• Assaults
• Closed head injury
• Open head injury
• Firearm misuse
• Falls
