Rhode Island Brain Injury Lawyers

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1.5 million people in the United States sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, and 50,000 of those cases end in death. It is estimated that more than 5.3 million people need long-term or lifelong help because of a brain injury.

The Rhode Island personal injury lawyers at Gemma Law Associates, Inc., have handled numerous claims involving traumatic brain injury throughout the State of Rhode Island. Our experience means that we understand how a TBI can impact your life and affect your ability to work your relationships, and your capability to perform everyday tasks.

A TBI occurs when sudden trauma to the head disrupts the function of the brain. Although a TBI is a common injury, it can range in seriousness from mild to severe. A mild brain injury involves loss of consciousness or disorientation lasting less than 30 minutes.

Symptoms include headaches, attention deficits, mood swings, and memory problems. In a severe brain injury, the person loses consciousness for more than 30 minutes and experiences memory loss for 24 hours or longer. Higher-level cognitive functions may be impaired in severe cases, or the person may lapse into a coma. The range of injuries and degree of recovery varies on an individual basis.

A TBI is a unique injury that does not heal like other physical ailments. In fact, the effects of two similar brain injuries may be very different.

Car Accidents Can Cause Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Although the causes of TBIs are diverse, the most common reason is a traffic collision such as a car, truck, bike, or motorcycle accident. TBIs also occur during athletic games and from falls. A TBI may even be caused by medical malpractice due to a failure to treat or diagnose an injury properly.

After spending 8 hours in a hospital overnight to get stitches in my lip because of a drunk driver’s negligent decision to get behind the wheel, the last thing I wanted to do was think about it all. I sent an email to Gemma Law, and Mark Gemma quickly called me back with an empathetic approach to listening to my story and helping me figure out the next steps. When he told me I wouldn’t have to have any contact with the insurance companies, I was HOOKED! When he pointed out how unfortunate it was I might have to miss out on a lip modeling career from a potential scar from the stitches, I was SOLD! And when I finally received my settlement check after letting him do all the leg work while I just focused on recovering, I was and am eternally GRATEFUL!  Mark Gemma helped me turn a near death experience into a new start in life and I highly recommend him to anybody needing a personal injury lawyer.
