When considering an attorney for your brain injury case, check to see if they're board certified. Many states offer specialized legal certification boards to help individuals find attorneys with the experience, knowledge, skill, and education they need to help them win their cases.

Pre-trail and trial expenses for a brain injury case can exceed more than $75,000, because the attorney needs to hire specialists and experts to help them with the case. If a lawyer is willing to take your case on a contingency basis despite this, that's an indication that they're confident they can win for you: they expect to get all that money and more back.

The top causes of brain injury are falls, car accidents, striking the head against something, and assaults. If you've suffered any of these, be sure to have yourself checked for brain injury -- and then don't hesitate to sue if someone else contributed to the event.
