Attorney Joe Gagliardi
Houston, TX Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Claims Lawyer
The head, brain, and spine are the most important collection of major organs that make up the human body. When the head or brain sustains a major injury, it may lead to physical & facial disfigurement, permanent injury, mental disability, and ultimately death. When treatment is possible, multiple surgeries are usually just a component of a long rehabilitation process.
If yourself, a relative, or other loved one suffered a traumatic brain or head injury as a result of the negligence of another party or as a result of an accident, there’s a strong chance that you’re entitled to financial compensation for medical bills, pain, suffering, lost income, and other damages.
