FAQs

Do I need imaging (MRI/CT) to prove my injury?
Sometimes—but not always. Many injuries are proven through clinical findings, specialist opinions, and functional limits.

What if my pain started days after the crash?
Delayed onset is common. Prompt care and consistent documentation are key.

How soon should I call a lawyer?
Early. Deadlines are short and early steps protect benefits and evidence.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers Serving Michigan

A brain injury can change everything—memory, mood, work, and relationships—often with symptoms that appear days or weeks later. We help clients and families get answers, the right care, and the compensation they need to rebuild.

Recognizing TBI & Concussion

Common signs include headache, dizziness, memory gaps, light/noise sensitivity, sleep changes, irritability, depression/anxiety, balance problems, vision issues, and cognitive “fog.” Symptoms can be subtle—don’t wait to get evaluated.

How We Prove a TBI Case

• Medical roadmap: ER/urgent care records; primary care; neurology, neuropsychology, vestibular/ENT, ophthalmology as needed.
• Functional evidence: employer/school records, family/caregiver observations, prior‑vs‑post performance.
• Specialized testing: MRI/CT when indicated, DTI/vestibular testing, neuropsych batteries to measure cognitive change.
• Causation & impact: tie mechanisms (whiplash/acceleration‑deceleration, strike, blast) to symptoms and life impact.

Michigan No‑Fault Benefits for TBI (Auto Cases)

No‑Fault (PIP) may cover medical bills, wage loss, replacement services, and, when appropriate, attendant care. We also pursue third‑party claims against at‑fault drivers and UM/UIM when needed.

Home modifications and in‑home care may be available under certain policies—our team preserves and proves these benefits.

Damages We Pursue

• Medical and rehabilitation costs (cognitive therapy, vestibular therapy, counseling)
• Wage loss and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering, disability, loss of enjoyment of life
• Home/vehicle modifications and assistive tech
• Wrongful death damages when applicable

What To Do If You Suspect TBI

1. Seek medical care now—describe all symptoms, even mild ones.
2. Limit high‑risk activity until cleared (work, sports, driving).
3. Keep a symptom journal and save work/school communications.
4. Call LSM—we protect benefits, line up specialists, and manage insurers.

FAQs

My CT was normal—do I still have a TBI?
Yes, many concussions and mild TBIs don’t show on standard imaging. Diagnosis is clinical and functional.

How long will recovery take?
Every brain is different. Many recover in weeks; others need long‑term care. We plan for both.

Will a prior concussion ruin my case?
Not necessarily. We document your before‑and‑after to show new or aggravated deficits.
