Phoenix Brain Injury Attorneys

A traumatic brain injury can dramatically change a victim’s life in an instant. Without our brains being in “working order,” we can’t make a living for ourselves or our families, we can’t do the things we enjoy doing, we can’t take care of our responsibilities, and we often require others to take care of even our most basic needs. Brain injuries can vary in nature. Some can be mild, and we can recover fully. Others are quite traumatic and, unfortunately, permanent. You may not be able to work in your chosen field or at all. You may need long-term rehab to learn to walk and talk again. And all the while, medical bills continue to mount along with the regular monthly bills.

When another person’s negligence causes a brain injury, the victim may be entitled to financial compensation. If you or someone you love suffered a brain injury of some type because of another person’s negligence in Phoenix or the surrounding area, schedule a free case review by the experienced Phoenix personal injury lawyers of Hastings & Hastings.

A severe brain injury is defined as a condition when the person was unconscious for at least six hours or remained in a state of post-traumatic amnesia for a minimum of 24 hours. Statistics show that individuals who are diagnosed with a serious or severe brain injury are more likely to require hospitalization or ongoing rehab after their initial treatment has finished.
