Illinois Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit Attorney

The Brain Injury Association of America defines traumatic brain injury (TBI) as any “blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain.” Serious brain injury can result from a variety of accidents or actions caused by negligence or criminal act, including a car crash, physical assault, or an improper surgical procedure. However it may be caused, the results of a traumatic brain injury often include significant medical expenses, inability to function on a job, and years of rehabilitation.
