Severe TBI. Mild TBI with persistent symptoms. Post-concussion syndrome. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI). Brain bleed and intracranial hemorrhage. CTE. Hidden cognitive deficits that take weeks to manifest. Insurance carriers love to minimize brain injuries — especially 'mild' TBIs where the CT scan looked clean. We don't let them. Neuropsychological testing, DTI imaging, and expert testimony tell the real story.
Madison Law Firm PLLC · 579 5th Ave, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10017
Complete medical workup: neurology, neuropsychology, DTI imaging, vestibular testing, vision testing. Lay-witness affidavits documenting cognitive and personality changes from before and after the injury. Pre-injury academic, employment, and medical records to establish baseline.
Lost cognitive function = lost earning capacity, lost executive function, lost relationships. Life-care plan for occupational therapy, cognitive rehab, vocational retraining, attendant care for severe TBIs. We project the full economic and non-economic damages.
TBI cases are won and lost on expert testimony — neurologist, neuropsychologist, life-care planner, vocational economist. We coordinate with senior trial counsel on catastrophic-TBI cases under joint-responsibility agreements with full disclosure (NY co-counsel rules).
Every case is different. The recoverable damages depend on your injuries, the insurance available, and the facts of your case.
Most concussions and many DAIs do not show on standard CT or MRI. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and neuropsychological testing reveal damage that conventional imaging misses. We get the right experts and the right imaging — not the bare-minimum ER workup that insurance carriers will hide behind.
Before filing, NY requires a New York civil procedure rule 3012-a certificate of merit signed by your attorney attesting that a qualified physician has reviewed the case and finds it meritorious. We arrange the expert review during intake.
Claims against NYC Health + Hospitals (HHC) facilities — Bellevue, Elmhurst, Kings County, Lincoln, etc. — require a 90-day notice of claim. Same deadline applies to SUNY hospitals. Call us before that deadline runs.
We answer 24/7. Free consultation. No fee unless we win.
