Invisible injury.
Visible case.

Traumatic brain injuries — including "mild" concussions — produce lasting cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes that the standard ER workup misses. We make the injury legible to a jury.

The Brief

Make the invisible
visible.

TBI cases live or die on the neuroimaging, the neuropsychological testing, and the testimony of the people who knew the survivor before. The defense will lean on a normal CT scan and an unremarkable ER discharge. We lean on advanced imaging, neuropsych batteries, and the people closest to you.

Proof

DTI, neuropsych, and before-and-after.

DTI (diffusion tensor imaging) shows white-matter damage that CT and standard MRI miss. Neuropsychological batteries objectively measure cognitive change. "Before-and-after" witnesses — spouses, coworkers, friends — tell the human story. Together, they make the case.

NJ · FAQ

What clients ask first.

The ER said I was fine. Do I have a case?

ER discharge is not a TBI workup. We refer to neurology and neuropsychology and document what the ER missed.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you owe us no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. Costs are advanced by the firm and only reimbursed out of a recovery. The first conversation is free and confidential.

How long do I have to file a claim in New Jersey?

Most personal-injury claims in New Jersey carry a two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, running from the date of injury. Claims against a public entity (city, county, NJ Transit, the State) require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Wrongful-death actions also have a two-year window. Call as early as possible — evidence does not wait.
