A traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects more than just the victim. It changes the dynamics of entire families. Some victims live with chronic pain; others are unable to work, care for themselves, or raise their children. When your loved one is living with TBI because of another person’s negligence, you have legal options. At The Hayden Law Firm, we protect the rights of TBI victims, their families, and their caretakers Missouri and Illinois.
Catastrophic brain injuries take many forms but share the common thread of being caused by an outside force or object. TBI can either be a closed head injury (rapid movement causes damage inside the skull) or a penetrative head injury (object punctures the skull and injures the brain).
