Brain Injury: The Silent Epidemic
More than 1.4 million people in the United States sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) every year, according to the Brain Injury Association of America. That's roughly eight and a half times the number of new breast cancer cases diagnosed each year. Yet the public is largely unaware of the significant number of people who are left permanently disabled by brain injuries.
An Important Area of Our Practice
The attorneys of Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, understand how frequently brain injuries occur and how disabling they can be. Representing people who have suffered brain injuries is a significant part of our practice.
One of the cruel ironies of brain injury is that people who can walk and talk and appear to be just fine can be profoundly disabled by a brain injury. Head injuries can cause memory loss, emotional and behavioral changes and cognitive impairments that leave people with brain injuries unable to work and earn a living or even accomplish the routine tasks of daily life.
Results for People With Brain Injuries
We have successfully represented many clients who sustained brain injuries in accidents caused by negligence. Our brain injury case results include:
- $13.82 million for a passenger injured in a bus accident

- $6.4 million for a passenger injured in a motorcycle accident
If you or a member of your family sustained a brain injury, it is important to obtain specialized medical evaluation and treatment. Our lawyers can refer you to neuropsychologists and rehabilitation specialists who regularly work with people with brain injuries.
