Traumatic brain injury is one of the serious outcomes of a collision with a truck, which can leave the brain injury victim in a dire state.
Most of the victims do not make it through their injuries. But only a few survive as they manage to cope with the long-term disabilities as a result of the accident.
What a victim hopes for after an accident is that the trucking company at least pays for the damage. However, that is not the case, as the company’s defendants do not cooperate during the claims process. Ehline Law and our personal injury attorneys work with brain injury victims to protect their rights and provide them with the resources they need to get their life back on track.
