Laws for Traumatic Brain Injury

Long Island brain injury attorneyAt Winkler Kurtz, LLP, we have seen how traumatic brain injuries can affect victims and their loved ones. If another party is responsible for this brain injury, you may be able to seek financial compensation for this traumatic event. To learn more about how our Long Island brain injury attorney can help, continue reading below. 

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can cause irreversible damage or even death. Traumatic brain injuries involve a trauma to the head that causes an injury to the skull, brain, or scalp. These injuries can be classified as penetrating or closed. A penetrating injury involves an object breaking through the skull and penetrating the brain. In closed head injuries, the head is hit with or against an object and suffers a blunt force. There are several possible causes of traumatic brain injuries, including car accidents, falls, and medical malpractice. 

A victim of a traumatic brain injury may require lifelong treatment and possibly never recover. Our Long Island brain injury attorney understands the impact these injuries can have on victims and their loved ones. If medical malpractice led to a brain injury, we will help you seek the compensation you deserve. There are a few different brain injuries associated with medical malpractice:

  • Anoxic brain injury – This injury occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen. Lack of oxygen in the brain for a period of time can lead to impairments in a person’s ability to move and think. 
  • Infection – If a patient develops sepsis, infection injuries may occur. Sepsis often develops as a result of inadequate sanitary procedures in healthcare settings. Sepsis can lead to organ failure and brain damage if action is not taken immediately. 
  • Traumatic birth – Birth injuries can possibly lead to brain injuries. An infant may be injured during childbirth due to lack of oxygen or injury from medical instruments. 

If you believe that someone is legally responsible for your traumatic brain injury and wish to file a lawsuit, you should consult an experienced Long Island brain injury attorney. These cases raise complex medical and legal issues, so you should work with a team you can trust. Most traumatic brain injury lawsuits are based on negligence. This claim requires that you prove that the defendant is at fault for your injury. To determine negligence, you must prove the following:

  • The defendant owed you a duty of care. 
  • They breached their duty of care.
  • Their negligence caused your injuries. 
  • You suffered measurable losses or injuries.

Our experienced attorney will ask questions to gather information about your injury to build a strong case. Unfortunately, brain injuries can permanently affect your life. We understand that you may be left with emotional and physical wounds. These injuries are also associated with astounding medical costs. Our Long Island brain injury attorney is committed to helping you and your family recover the damages for this unfortunate event so you can focus on your healing.

I cannot say enough about Rich and his staff. Everyone was more than accommodating from day one. You are treated like you matter, and not just another case for their firm. Rich offers advice every step of the way to get the most out of your case while still letting YOU choose which options are best. Coming from someone who has dealt with other attorneys, none compare to Mr. Winkler. His knowledge, and attitude are second to none. I would recommend Rich to anyone with an accident case. Believe me, you are in good hands. Thank you Rich and staff. Could not have asked for more!!

- Rob Pearsall

To Whom It May Concern, I’m a union painter and was badly hurt when I was involved in a workplace accident on a job site in Manhattan. I hired Richard Winkler to represent me and they have been great. He and his staff keep me informed and are making sure that I can continue to be able to feed my family and to keep everything going, they are on my side no doubt about it. Needless to say this didn’t go unnoticed to my family. Visiting the office was always a positive experience both welcoming and professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of caring compassionate legal representation.

- Elissa Rand

The experience that I got from Richard Winkler was absolutely the best, In the beginning I was hesitant because you hear of bad stories about attorneys, but the turning point for me was when the most amazing, caring, person sat down and explained everything to me Mr. Winkler’s paralegal Dana Randazzo. This team answered all my phone calls handled all my paperwork in a quick manner there were never any surprises and they were on top of everything with the insurance companies and anything else associated to my case I highly recommend this law firm to anyone you will not be disappointed and I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me Mr Winkler!
