Virginia Brain Injury Attorneys
Firm represents victims of traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries
An injury to the brain or spinal cord could cause extensive bodily damage and might never fully heal. Unlike some other types of accident injuries, determining the scope and severity of a traumatic brain injury could be a long and complex process. Pikrallidas & Probasco is a law firm that knows how to construct strong arguments in legal claims arising from blows to the head, neck and spinal cord. We have offices in Manassas, Fairfax, Centreville and Front Royal to help clients in Northern Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley along Route 81 take on defendants whose carelessness or willful misconduct resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Our Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. attorneys are determined advocates who strive to obtain the payment victims need to deal with their short- and long-term challenges.
Accomplished lawyers handle cases involving harm to the head, neck and back
In cases arising from auto accidents and other types of incidents, our personal injury firm gathers the facts and expert evidence necessary to demonstrate the serious impact of a defendant’s negligence. We litigate cases relating to a full range of brain and spinal cord injuries, including:
- Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries — A jolt to the head can shift the brain, potentially triggering a wide range of harmful effects. Research on concussions show that victims can experience severe headaches, vision problems, emotional problems and other significant symptoms.
- Paralysis — Some people suffer catastrophic injuries in car accidents that change the course of their lives forever. Trauma to the spinal cord could trigger paraplegia, where a victim loses the ability to walk, or quadriplegia, where their arms and legs no longer function properly. Living with paralysis does not just require long, expensive rounds of medical treatment, but also changes to your everyday life that could include in-home care or substantial changes to your residence.
- Back problems such as slipped and herniated discs — The discs that allow someone’s spine to remain flexible can be seriously damaged by contact. Sometimes, a disc is knocked out of place, which prevents the victim from moving comfortably. Auto accidents also frequently cause herniation, where the soft substance in the center of a disc leaks out, leading to pain and numbness.
- Whiplash — When a car is hit in a rear-end collision or another type of crash, momentum often causes the heads of people inside the vehicle to snap back and forth violently. This movement frequently results in whiplash, which is a strain of ligaments, muscles or nerves in the head, neck or back. Symptoms might include severe pain, loss of motion and dizziness.
When appropriate, we consult with neurologists and other medical experts to determine the extent of a client’s brain injury and how it will affect their life. From there, we work diligently to collect suitable payment from the liable defendants in a settlement or judgment.
