How is a traumatic brain injury diagnosed?
One of the most important ways to assist your physician in diagnosing your
Traumatic Brain Injury
is to explain specific problems that you are experiencing. Rozek Law Offices has created this
downloadable Traumatic Brain Injury Symptom Checklist
for Wisconsin TBI victims.
The doctor will ask you questions about the injury. He or she may ask questions that test your ability to pay attention, learn, remember, and solve problems. The doctor will check for physical signs of a brain injury by checking your reflexes, strength, balance, coordination, and sensation. The doctor may order imaging tests such as a CT scan or an MRI to make sure that your brain isn’t bruised or bleeding. You may need tests to see if your brain is working as it should.
Attorney Randy Rozek’s Experience
At our Milwaukee, Wi location, veteran personal injury attorney Randall Rozek serves on 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 in order to educate them on such issues, particularly in the area of representing victims of Traumatic Brain Injury. 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.
