A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can bring life-altering consequences. Depending on the severity of the brain injury, a person who suffers from one may be permanently disabled and unable to work. Brain injuries can result from a variety of different events, including participation in sports, motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall accidents, assaults, and more. When a person receives such an injury because of the wrongful conduct of another or because of negligence, he or she may be able to recover monetary damages with the help of a catastrophic injury attorney in amounts sufficient to cover all of the suffered losses. Let one of our West Virginia brain injury lawyers help you recover your accident-related damages.Doctor looking at x-rays of a person's head
