Dedicated to Helping Brain Injured Individuals
At our law firm we have taken a very active role in assisting those with traumatic brain injuries. The firm has pioneered recovery for brain injured and spinal injured clients and seamen, both American clients and international clients, for tens of millions of dollars in awards. In addition to actively pursuing justice for those with a head injury or back injury, we have actively worked to build brain and spinal rehabilitation center programs in Europe where no facilities for recovery are technologically available.
We believe in putting our time, energy and resources, as well as our legal skills into helping those with traumatic brain injuries.
Representative case: Client v. SBT Star Bulk & Tankers, et al: Our client, a Romanian seafarer, was working aboard the M/V Thomas Selmer when he was struck about the face and head with a cable, which caused him serious brain injuries. His claim was settled in nine months for a confidential amount in the multiple million dollar range.
Long-Term Brain Damage Considerations
Following even a minor accident or injury, brain injuries often take a significant amount of time to reveal themselves fully and for the victim to be able to understand the long-term consequences. It is extremely important to obtain medical help and proper testing and treatment soon after the traumatic event. Financial and medical experience is available at the firm to ensure the proper medical attention is obtained rapidly to preserve the evidence and to establish the medical plan to repair the damages as quickly as possible. At Dodson, Hooks & Frederick, APLC, we have a physician on staff to provide a preliminary evaluation of your case, and the firm possesses the financial resources to strategically pursue the maximum compensation possible. In some cases the brain damage is more apparent to the injured victim's friends and family than it is to the injured individual. In other cases the damage is catastrophic.
