Obviously, in a personal injury setting, traumatic brain injuries can be some of the biggest damages cases. Proving a traumatic brain injury is many times a complicated matter. Often, the plaintiff may sustain a closed injury that leaves no objective abnormality that can be detected on a diagnostic study such as an MRI or CT scan. In other words, there may not a fractured skull or a bleed on the brain or other similar abnormality, yet the plaintiff and his or her loved one will complain that the plaintiff is just not the same cognitively as before the traumatic event.
Under this scenario, the plaintiffs attorney should be aware that a neuropsychologist is often the medical professional who can offer the most informed opinion on the subject.
