Of all the cases we handle here at Mottley Law Firm, those involving traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are among the most emotionally challenging and legally complex. How does a TBI affect a person’s quality of life, and how can they or their loved ones seek justice for what has occurred? Here is a brief overview of the realities surrounding brain injuries and the legal avenues available to those in need. The Trials of Trauma An individual can sustain a TBI in a variety of ways, including slip-and- fall accidents, intentional violence against them, and motor vehicle collisions. TBI victims often struggle with depression, emotional instability, poor appetite, speech and communication issues, memory loss, and decreased motor skills — frequently leaving their loved ones to manage the overwhelming logistics of coordinating and paying for ongoing medical care. Further, medical professionals often misdiagnose or completely overlook TBIs, leading some victims and those closest to them to dismiss a serious condition as a minor, temporary situation. Peace After Pain If you or a loved one has sustained a TBI, you do not have to navigate these personal and legal challenges alone. Mottley Law Firm specializes in TBI cases and understands the importance of approaching these matters with commitment, empathy, and care. We work with our clients to maneuver through the nuances of Virginia laws, provide legal guidance, and relieve the stress of seeking recovery. In addition to negotiating with insurers, we work to gather critical evidence to support your case, including photos, medical and police reports, surveillance videos, and witness statements. If we cannot reach an appropriate settlement through negotiations with an insurer, Mottley Law Firm is prepared to go to court to represent our clients’ interests and fight for compensation and relief. Please contact us today to learn more about how our expertise can help provide a sense of peace and a path toward a renewed enjoyment of life. –Kevin Mottley Brian Injuries and the Law FROM TRAUMA TO TRIUMPH
