Nassau County Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can forever alter the life of a victim and their family. At Jacobson Law, our Nassau County traumatic brain injury lawyers understand the immense physical, emotional, and financial toll that these injuries cause. Whether the injury was sustained in a motor vehicle accident, a fall, a workplace incident, or a violent act, we’re here to fight for your right to full and fair compensation.
Understanding the Impact of a Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries occur when a sudden blow or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. These injuries range from concussions to severe and permanent cognitive damage. The effects can be subtle at first, or immediately life-threatening. In many cases, victims suffer long-term disabilities that require ongoing care and rehabilitation.
Common consequences of TBIs include:
- Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
- Speech and language difficulties
- Loss of motor function or coordination
- Behavioral and emotional changes
- Seizures or chronic headaches
Many victims are unable to return to work or live independently. At Jacobson Law, we fight to ensure the full scope of your losses — both immediate and long-term — are properly accounted for in your claim.
How Do Brain Injuries Happen?
There are countless ways a traumatic brain injury can occur, many of them involving negligence. Our Nassau County traumatic brain injury lawyers have successfully handled cases involving:
- Motor vehicle collisions, including car, truck, and motorcycle crashes
- Falls from heights or on unsafe premises
- Assaults or violent attacks, especially in cases involving negligent security
- Workplace accidents involving falling objects or dangerous equipment
- Recreational injuries, including sports and water-related accidents
Each case demands a unique legal strategy. We investigate thoroughly to determine who was at fault and build a strong case supported by medical records, expert evaluations, and eyewitness accounts.
Recovering Compensation for TBI Victims
Because brain injuries can involve long-term care and a decline in life quality, fair compensation is critical. Our legal team works with medical professionals, vocational experts, and economists to calculate the full value of your claim. Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to compensation for:
• Medical bills, including surgery, ICU stays, and long-term care
• Lost income and future earning potential
• Cognitive and physical rehabilitation services
• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
• Home modifications or assisted living support
• Loss of enjoyment of life
At Jacobson Law, we are aggressive advocates for our clients, ensuring that insurance companies do not minimize the true impact of your injury.

FAQs About Traumatic Brain Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a TBI lawsuit in New York?
In most personal injury cases, the statute of limitations in New York is three years from the date of injury. However, this deadline can be shorter if a government entity is involved. Speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Can I still file a claim if my symptoms appeared later?
Yes. Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury often take days or weeks to manifest. As long as your injury can be linked to the negligent act, you may still be eligible to file a claim even if there was a delay in diagnosis.
What if my loved one is in a coma or cannot make decisions?
If a victim is incapacitated due to a TBI, a family member or legal guardian may be able to pursue a claim on their behalf. We can guide you through the legal process and help protect your loved one’s future.
