Types of Brain Injury Cases We Handle
Our firm handles a full range of neurological injuries, each with its own medical indicators and legal considerations. We rely on recognized neurological criteria, including GCS scoring, imaging limitations, and clinical symptom patterns, to show the true impact of your trauma.
Concussion / Mild TBI
A concussion may carry a “mild” label, but that refers only to the initial exam. Many clients develop post-concussion symptoms that last months or years. We show how your cognitive and emotional changes affect your work, decision-making, and daily life, key factors insurers often overlook.
Moderate TBI
Moderate TBIs typically involve measurable memory loss or post-traumatic amnesia. These findings carry strong evidentiary weight. We link your deficits to diminished earning capacity and long-term rehabilitation needs.
Severe TBIs involve extended unconsciousness or a GCS score of 3-8. These cases often require life-care planning. We focus on documenting your 24-hour care needs, long-term therapy, and projected lifetime costs.
Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)
DAI involves microscopic shearing from rapid acceleration or rotational forces. These injuries may not appear on standard CT scans or MRI scans. We rely on your functional deficits, DTI scans when available, and neuropsychological patterns to show the true extent of your injury.
Coup–Contrecoup Injuries
These injuries affect different regions of the brain due to rapid acceleration and rebound forces. We connect your regional deficits, such as changes in reasoning, vision, or balance to the mechanics of your impact.
Brain Contusions
A contusion reflects bruising or bleeding within the brain. These injuries often affect coordination, balance, or speech. We use your imaging findings and symptom progression to demonstrate long-term neurological limitations.
Subdural Hematoma
Subdural bleeds may worsen gradually, creating delayed cognitive decline. We document how your symptoms evolved and how the bleed affected your functioning.
Epidural bleeds involve rapid arterial pressure and urgent intervention. We address both the emergency medical phase you went through and the lasting neurological consequences that follow.
Penetrating Head Trauma
Penetrating injuries create direct tissue destruction and permanent deficits. We build your claim around long-term medical, support, and financial needs.
Anoxic / Hypoxic Brain Injuries
These injuries arise from oxygen loss and often affect memory, motor skills, or executive function. We show how your deficits limit independence and justify long-term therapeutic and caregiving support.

I highly recommend Ike Kaludi and his team for anyone needing legal assistance in personal injury cases. Ike’s extensive experience was evident and very helpful throughout the process. He was always ready to explain each step, discuss all possible outcomes, and provide examples from previous cases, which greatly aided my understanding and decision-making.
Nothing Short of a Miracle
As a Celebrity Stylist and Business Owner I value great customer service. Ike has been nothing short of a miracle worker. I like many involved in a car accident tried to take on the insurance company alone, after many months of the run around and out right harassment I received from the other parties insurance I decided to hire a lawyer and let them handle it! Thank God I did. Ike got me the treatment I desperately needed with an amazing chiropractor and went full force on the insurance company. After I was offered pennies by the insurance company Ike was able to settle my suite for the maximum amount!! Thank you so much Ike, Miles, and everyone else in the firm who played a part! I’m forever grateful.

FAQs
What Should I Do Immediately After a Head Injury?
You should seek medical care immediately after a head injury, so that the doctors can evaluate concussion symptoms and neurological trauma. After treatment, contact a TBI attorney who can preserve evidence in your case and protect your legal rights.
Can Multiple Parties Be Liable for One Brain Injury Case?
Yes, multiple parties can be liable for one brain injury case when negligent drivers, property owners, employers, or product manufacturers contribute to your trauma. Identifying every liable party increases available insurance coverage and strengthens your overall claim.
How Long Does an Injury Case Take to Settle?
An injury case can take 6 to 18 months to settle, depending on your medical recovery and how many defendants are involved. The injury case timeline may extend in complex matters where liability is disputed or your damages are substantial.
What Evidence Is Needed to Prove a TBI Claim?
Evidence needed to prove a TBI claim includes neuropsychological testing, imaging studies, forensic analysis, and wage-loss documentation. This TBI claim evidence shows how your trauma occurred and how it caused cognitive, behavioral, or functional deficits.
How Is the Value of a Case Determined?
The value of a case is determined by injury severity, medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and projected future care needs. Case value increases when your long-term rehabilitation, disability, or reduced earning capacity is supported by strong medical evidence.
