The Injury is Invisible.
The Impact is Real.
Brain injuries don't just affect the victim; they alter the lives of entire families. We have the resources to prove the full extent of your cognitive and financial losses.
Why Hire a TBI Specialist?
General practitioners often miss the subtle signs of brain damage. We work with neuropsychologists to document:
- ✓ Memory Loss & Confusion
- ✓ Mood Swings & Personality Changes
- ✓ Sensory Processing Disorders
- ✓ Chronic Migraines
Proving the Unseen in Canyon County Courts
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is often called the "silent epidemic." You may look fine on the outside, but inside, your ability to work, relate to your spouse, and enjoy life has been shattered. Insurance adjusters ruthlessly exploit this disconnect. If your MRI looks "normal," they will argue that you are faking or exaggerating.
As your Nampa brain injury lawyer, our job is to make the invisible visible. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools like Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to show damage to the brain's white matter tracts that standard CT scans miss. We build a fortress of medical evidence around your claim that insurers cannot ignore.
Types of Brain Injuries We Represent
Brain injuries range from "mild" concussions to catastrophic damage. We handle all severities resulting from negligence:
- Concussions (mTBI): Often caused by car accidents or falls. Cumulative concussions can lead to permanent impairment (Post-Concussion Syndrome).
- Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI): Caused by the brain shaking violently inside the skull, often seen in high-speed truck accidents. This shearing of nerve fibers creates widespread damage.
- Coup-Contrecoup: Contusions (bruises) that occur on both sides of the brain when it impacts the skull wall.
Calculating the "Lifetime Cost" of a TBI
A brain injury settlement must last the rest of your life. If you settle too early, you may be left paying for future care out of pocket. We collaborate with Life Care Planners and Vocational Experts to calculate:
- • Lost Future Earnings
- • In-Home Nursing Care
- • Cognitive Rehabilitation
- • Diminished Earning Capacity
- • Pain and Suffering
- • Loss of Consortium
Symptoms Checklist
Family members are often the first to notice changes. Watch for:
- Difficulty finding words (aphasia).
- Sudden outbursts of anger.
- Chronic fatigue or sleep issues.
- Sensitivity to light/sound.
- Balance and coordination problems.

Brain Injury FAQs
My MRI came back "normal," but I still have symptoms. Can I sue?
Yes. This is incredibly common with "mild" TBI. Standard MRIs detect structural damage (skull fractures, bleeding) but often miss microscopic tearing of nerve fibers. We rely on neuropsychological testing and clinical symptoms to prove your injury.
How much is a brain injury case worth in Idaho?
There is no average settlement because every brain injury affects the victim differently. A case involving permanent disability and lifetime care needs can reach into the millions. We evaluate the severity of the impairment and its impact on your specific career and lifestyle.
What is the "Glasgow Coma Scale" (GCS)?
The GCS is a clinical tool used by first responders to grade the severity of a brain injury based on eye, verbal, and motor responses. While helpful initially, a "mild" GCS score (13-15) does not mean you won't have long-term complications.
