Long Island Brain Injury Lawyer
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have life-altering consequences, affecting everything from memory and mobility to speech and emotional regulation. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, working with a skilled Long Island brain injury lawyer is essential to pursuing the justice and compensation you deserve. At Jacobson Law, we represent clients across Nassau and Suffolk Counties with a commitment to compassionate guidance and aggressive advocacy.
Comprehensive Legal Support for Brain Injury Victims
Brain injuries can range from concussions to severe trauma resulting in permanent disability. These injuries are often caused by car accidents, construction site incidents, slip and falls, or assaults. Regardless of the cause, the impact can be devastating — both physically and financially.
Jacobson Law focuses on catastrophic injury cases, including those involving TBIs and wrongful death. Our legal team understands the long-term care and financial resources that brain injury victims require. We work closely with neurologists, life care planners, and vocational experts to build strong cases that account for present and future needs.
Symptoms and Effects of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries may not always be visible at first, but their effects can become severe over time. Symptoms to watch for include:
- Persistent headaches and dizziness
- Memory loss or difficulty concentrating
- Changes in mood or behavior
- Slurred speech or difficulty speaking
- Loss of coordination or motor skills
Our brain injury lawyers in Long Island understand how these symptoms can disrupt a person’s ability to work, maintain relationships, or enjoy daily life. That’s why we fight to secure maximum compensation for every client we serve.
Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries
At Jacobson Law, we handle brain injury cases arising from a wide variety of incidents. The most common causes include:
- Motor vehicle collisions, including pedestrian and motorcycle crashes
- Falls on dangerous property (premises liability claims)
- Construction and workplace accidents
- Acts of violence or assault
- Defective products or equipment failures
We perform a full investigation of the accident, collect medical records and expert testimony, and hold all negligent parties accountable — from drivers and business owners to employers and manufacturers.
Recoverable Compensation in Brain Injury Cases
Because of the long-term consequences associated with TBIs, these cases often involve significant financial damages. A successful claim may include compensation for:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Rehabilitation, therapy, and assistive services
- Loss of enjoyment of life and companionship
Jacobson Law approaches every case as if it will go to trial, which allows us to negotiate from a position of strength and deliver real results for our clients.
Frequently Asked Questions About Brain Injury Claims
How do I know if I have a brain injury claim?
If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence — such as in a car accident or fall — and you’ve experienced cognitive, physical, or emotional symptoms, you may have a valid claim. A medical diagnosis and legal consultation are key first steps.
What is the statute of limitations for brain injury lawsuits in New York?
In most personal injury cases, New York law gives you three years from the date of the incident to file a claim. However, there are exceptions, so it’s important to consult a lawyer quickly to preserve your rights.
What if my symptoms didn’t appear until weeks after the accident?
Delayed symptoms are common in brain injury cases. Even if time has passed, you may still be entitled to compensation. Speak with an attorney who understands how to connect your symptoms to the original incident and prove your case.
