New York City traumatic brain injury lawyers

The New York City traumatic brain injury lawyers at The Law Offices of Ginsberg and Broome recognize the loss inherent to suffering an injury to the body's most important organ. Traumatic brain injury, also called TBI, occurs when the brain is injured by a sudden force or trauma. If the trauma results in damage to the skull itself, such as a crack or break, the trauma is considered a penetrating head injury. More difficult to diagnose are closed head injuries, in which the brain is injured but the skull remains undamaged. This can occur from a blow or impact, or from severe back-and-forth shaking, such as whiplash. Shaken infants can qualify as the injured party if they show symptoms of shaken baby syndrome.

Upon diagnosis of a traumatic brain injury, it is important to identify the exact cause of the damage. If there is reason to believe another party is at fault, a New York City traumatic brain injury lawyer can assist in recovering damages for the physical, emotional, and monetary loss endured as a result of traumatic brain injury.
