We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.

How to choose the best lawyer for your brain injury case

First, ask the SEVEN CRITICAL QUESTIONS you should ask any lawyer before hiring them for any type of personal injury case.

Cases involving brain injuries are complicated, and difficult to handle. Some brain injuries, such as a "closed head injury," may be invisible. In other words, nothing comes up on an MRI or other type of test to show the injury. One must just take the injured person's word for it. Other brain injuries do show up on tests.

Ask the attorneys you interview about their experience handling cases involving a brain injury or closed head injury. Ask them for a list of cases they have handled where their client had a brain injury or closed head injury. Not only do you want to make sure your lawyer has significant experience handling brain and head injury cases, but you want to make sure they have done a good job on those cases.

Ask the lawyer to show you their brain model - any lawyer with any significant experience handling head injury cases will have one, or more, models of the brain in their office.

Also ask the lawyer about local neurosurgeons they have interacted with or deposed on their prior cases. Many times a neurosurgeon will be involved in a brain injury case, and may have even performed brain surgery. You need an attorney who will be able to ask the neurosurgeon the right questions for your case when they give testimony.

If your case involves a closed head injury, it is likely you have been treated by a neuro-psychologist. Make sure your lawyer has experience working with medical providers in this field, again, so the provider will be asked the correct questions when they give testimony.

Find out how many doctors and surgeons the lawyer has deposed or examined at trial. Nothing can substitute the knowledge a lawyer obtains by being involved in extensive questioning of doctors who typically treat brain injuries.

Finally, another good source of information that can help you come up with additional questions is the website for the Brain Injury Association of America and the Traumatic Brain Injury Information Page of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
