Our Approach to Brain Injury Cases
Our experience in proving complex injury claims represents an important advantage for our traumatic brain injury clients. We work with directly with neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists and psychiatrists to ensure that each of your symptoms and afflictions is accounted for – and that a comprehensive analysis of your specific condition and potential treatment is developed and documented. Oftentimes, the continuing symptoms and treatment needs of a traumatic brain injury can be deceptive.

The need to develop and present expert testimony representing many different medical and technical specialties can make traumatic brain injury cases extremely costly. Foldenauer Law Group’s past success with brain injury cases enables us to advance all required costs and expenses necessary to aggressively pursue our clients’ claims.
If you have recently suffered a brain injury you may have several questions:
- Should I consult with an attorney?
- How am I going to pay for the costs associated with my treatment?
- Will I be able to recover for lost wages and pain and suffering?
- Should I sign the documents I have been given?
Foldenauer Law Group’s experienced brain injury attorneys will provide you with answers to any questions you may have relating to your injuries, treatment, or legal options.
There are two primary brain injury types:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Acquired Brain Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force impacts the head with enough force to cause the brain to move within the skull, or alternatively, causes the skull itself to break causing direct harm to the brain. Several types of injuries can produce traumatic brain injuries including:
- Car, truck or motorcycle accidents
- Physical violence
- Cycling accidents
- Sporting accidents
- Direct trauma to the head
Symptoms associated with traumatic brain injuries often include:
- Temporary loss of consciousness
- Pupil dilation
- Impaired vision
- Amnesia
- Memory Loss
- Dizziness
- Abnormal fluid production in the ears, or nose
- Complete respiratory failure
- Comas
- Paralysis or partial paralysis
- Vomiting
- sleepiness
- headache
Traumatic Brain Injury Statistics
- In the United States, someone sustains a traumatic brain injury every 21 seconds.
- Approximately 5 million people in the United States live with disabilities resulting from a traumatic brain injury.
- Every year, nearly 1.5 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury.
- Over 50,000 deaths occur each year are the result of traumatic brain injuries.
Acquired Brain Injury
Unlike a traumatic brain injury, an acquired brain injury takes place at the cellular level within the brain. That is, acquired brain injuries affect the cells throughout the entire brain as opposed to traumatic brain injuries which only affect a specific part of the brain. There are also two types of acquired brain injuries: Anoxic Brain Injuries, which occur when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen, and Hypoxic Brain Injuries, which occur when the brain receives some but not enough oxygen.
Causes of Acquired Brain Injuries can include:
- Airway obstructions
- Choking or strangulation
- Drowning
- Shock
- Head or neck trauma
- Vascular disruption
- Heart attack or stroke
- Infectious disease
- Brain tumors
- Metabolic disorders
- Meningitis
- Exposure to toxic agents
- Drug Use
Everything Matters
Foldenauer Law Group has recovered millions of dollars in settlements and awards for our clients. We have built our success on nearly 20 years of experience as Plaintiff’s only injury attorneys, and have a proven ability to recover maximum damages. It’s no accident. We work exceptionally hard to obtain extraordinary results.
Our attorneys go far beyond the standard methods normally used in personal injury cases. We conduct a complete investigation of the accident which includes visiting the accident scene, photographing and preserving evidence, measuring distances, calculating speeds, G forces, and interviewing witnesses. We take the time because well-documented facts build better liability cases. When needed, we utilize testimony from leading experts, such accident reconstructions, medical doctors, forensic accountants and economists for our winning team.
We seek out creative recovery solutions, which includes collecting from all individuals and entities that have responsibility for the accident – not just the one obvious defendant. When an insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement on a case – we do not cower. We are always ready to take our cases to trial. We have the financial resources needed to fund our cases. This puts our injury clients on a level playing field with even the largest insurance companies. We are very proud of our winning trial record and believe it gives us extreme credibility when negotiating large settlements with insurance companies.
We are not a “personal injury mill” that focuses on the quantity of injury cases it handles. We are selective. We limit the number of injury cases we accept at any given time to ensure that our clients’ cases receive the extra time and effort needed to achieve extraordinary results.
To us – everything matters.
