Massachusetts Catastrophic Personal Injury Attorney
Traumatic Brain Injury: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is most often caused by a severe impact to the head, and it can result in lasting physical and mental problems. Emotional trauma often affects both victims and their loved ones. Because traumatic brain injuries are most often caused by accidents, they are often the fault of someone other than the victim. Automobile accidents are the most common cause of TBI. Other causes include falls, violence, and sports injuries. While people with minor head injuries often make full recoveries, people with severe traumatic brain injuries often face permanent disability. Many TBI patients require long-term rehabilitation beyond their initial medical care. Some may never be able to work again. As a result, many TBI victims and their families find themselves facing tremendous financial obstacles. Attorney McCue has handled several cases in this specialized field, and is committed to helping victims of traumatic brain injury receive compensation so that they can focus on healing.
