Traumatic brain injury is a term used to describe damage to the brain suffered as a result of trauma. Brain tissue can be damaged by the blunt trauma caused when the head strikes the interior of the car or pavement, or from the violent shaking of the head in the force of a crash. A traumatic brain injury may go unnoticed immediately after an accident or may become worse over time. The full extent of brain damage may not be revealed for months or even years after the accident. An individual may have no external symptoms, yet their life is forever changed. At the Law Office of Jennifer L. Donaldson, our job is to demonstrate how the brain injury was caused by the accident and the devastating effects that the injury has had upon the person’s life.

Traumatic Brain Injury

We have obtained compensation for individuals who have suffered brain injuries resulting from auto and large truck accidents, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, falls, and other mishaps.

The effects of traumatic brain injury can be mild or substantial. With the help of doctors, family members, CAT scans, PET scans, and testing by psychologists or neuropsychologists, we document:

• Memory loss and concentration problems
• Personality changes and mood swings
• Sensory loss (vision, hearing, balance) and speech problems
• Fatigue and loss of muscle control
• Cognitive disability (reduced mental capacity)
• Loss of consciousness

Comprehensive Compensation

Individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury may be able to function with rehabilitation, or may require 24-hour care and appointed guardians to make decisions for them. Jennifer Donaldson uses 19 years of experience and a network of experts to project the costs of physical and vocational rehab, medications, medical equipment, home adjustments, personal aides, and other care. We consult with economists to project lost earning potential over a lifetime, and seek full non-economic damages for pain and suffering, loss of consortium with a spouse, and the lost enjoyment of life.
