Traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases present unique challenges in litigation because these injuries are often invisible and can vary widely in severity. Many people associate TBIs with severe symptoms like loss of speech or cognitive function, but many TBIs manifest more subtle symptoms that are difficult to diagnose. Standard imaging, such as CAT scans or MRIs, may not detect microscopic brain damage, even if significant injury has occurred.
Advancements in diagnostic tools, like Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), have improved the ability to identify and assess these injuries. DTI, used by select, highly credentialed physicians, is now a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool in brain injury cases. It can reveal specific areas of brain damage, or “infarcts,” that other tests might miss. These insights allow neurosurgeons or neuroradiologists to provide targeted treatment. Electromagnetic stimulation is one such treatment, helping TBI patients in ways that were largely unknown a decade ago.
At the Galler Law Firm, there is in-depth knowledge of TBI diagnosis, management, and treatment options, ensuring clients receive care aimed at recovery, a core focus in any personal injury case.
Las Vegas, NV personal injury attorney Keith E. Galliher talks about his approach to handling traumatic brain injury cases. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases pose distinct challenges in litigation due to the often-invisible nature of these injuries and their wide range of severity. While severe TBIs are typically associated with obvious symptoms like impaired speech or cognitive decline, many cases involve more subtle symptoms that can be difficult to diagnose. Standard imaging, such as CAT scans or MRIs, may fail to detect microscopic brain injuries, even when significant damage has occurred.
New diagnostic tools, such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), have significantly advanced the ability to assess these injuries. DTI, utilized by a select group of highly credentialed physicians, is now considered a leading diagnostic method in TBI cases, as it can detect specific areas of brain damage, known as “infarcts,” that might not be visible with conventional imaging. These findings allow neurosurgeons or neuroradiologists to administer targeted treatments. One such treatment, electromagnetic stimulation, has shown promise in helping TBI patients and was largely unknown until recent years.
The Galler Law Firm has extensive expertise in TBI diagnosis, management, and treatment options, ensuring that clients receive comprehensive care focused on recovery, a central objective in personal injury cases.
