Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Lawyer:
Brain Injury Claims
In the period immediately after an accident, moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) may not be obvious. Memory loss, personality change, sensory loss or chronic depression may not be noticed for weeks or months, and then can only be properly documented after a thorough clinical evaluation. On the other hand, the effects of massive brain damage are immediately obvious — the patient may be unable to perform basic daily tasks, or require full nursing care. Either situation is tragic for the injured person and family members. At The McClelland Law Group in Pittsburgh, our attorneys' goal is to relieve our clients of financial and legal burdens, allowing them to focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.
