How is TBI treated?
If your brain has been damaged, you may need treatment and rehabilitation, perhaps on a long-term basis. This might include:
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Speech and language therapy
- Counseling to help you learn ways to cope with your feelings.
- Social support and support groups
- Medicines to help relieve symptoms like sleep problems, chronic pain, and headaches as well as anxiety, depression, or memory problems.
What do I do if I have TBI?
The first thing you should do is to schedule an appointment with a doctor and let them know the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. Just make sure you explain the specific problems that you are dealing with so they can diagnose you properly. You may also need a loved one to monitor you closely to make sure that your symptoms aren’t getting worse. Follow your doctor’s instructions about how long you need someone to stay with you.
We also strongly recommend that you contact an experienced

Attorney Randy Rozek’s Experience
Award winning personal injury attorney Randall Rozek has been the voice for victims, young and old, for over two decades. He has dedicated his career to serve this cause as he is part of the Board of the Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice and is the editor of the Journal of Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation. A member of the Brain Injury Association of America, Rozek also speaks to lawyers and doctors to educate them on issues concerning victims of TBI. In May of 2016, a jury returned a $7.25 million verdict in a difficult bicycle vs. pickup truck collision after only 3 days of trial. The award was based on Rozek’s success at excluding certain damaging evidence and overcoming unfavorable testimony from the defendant, investigating police officer and an independent witness. In his closing, Rozek asked for $5.25 million, but the jury recognized the severity of his client’s injury and instead awarded $7.25 million.
