Brain Injury

Full Compensation for Brain Damage

Demonstrating the True Impact of a Head Injury Accident

A brain injury is not always apparent, and sometimes the full extent of brain damage is not revealed until months after the accident. Securing full compensation requires a lawyer who commits to working with the family and medical professionals.

Locklin & Mordhorst of Manassas, Virginia can make that commitment. We intentionally limit our caseload so that we can provide our full attention to each client. Our attorney has experience and demonstrated results in brain injury cases. Representing victims throughout northern Virginia, we work to see that our client is compensated for the ongoing care, lost earnings and profound personal impact from the injury.

Diagnosing the Full Effects of Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically results in total disability. Those victims have suffered a skull fracture, hematoma or other major head trauma. They may be in a coma, vegetative state or paralyzed, unable to care for themselves. The family often needs help to provide for a lifetime of round-the-clock care and supervision.

A mild traumatic brain injury can be just as devastating for the victim and family. Extensive resources are required to help that person resume their life. Mild brain injuries can be difficult to diagnose, as symptoms may come and go or develop over time. We work with families and care providers to document signs of brain injury:

• Amnesia or short-term memory loss
• Problems with speech or vision
• Difficulty concentrating/cognitive deficits
• Chronic headache or dizziness
• Personality change/mood swings

A head injury may be originally passed off as a concussion, diagnosed as brain damage only after neurological testing. Locklin & Mordhorst helps family members document symptoms, treatment and the impact of a brain trauma on the daily life of the victim.

We coordinate with life care planners and other professionals to prepare a comprehensive settlement package that covers the economic damages (medical care, earnings) and non-economic damages (lost quality of life, pain and suffering). If the insurance company will not settle for a fair sum, trial lawyer Kevin Locklin is prepared to take the case all the way to a jury to get justice.
