Depending on the nature and extent of the trauma, head injuries can cause very subtle changes to the brain. Proving the cause of a brain injury or the nature and extent of the impact of the brain injury on the victim requires highly specialized experts.
Expert witness Vaage Law may use include: neuroradiologists to determine the location and extent of the injury; neuropsychologists to correlate the brain injury to loss of function; physiatrists to determine future care needs; life care planners to calculate the cost of future care; rehabilitation experts to determine if the injured victim can return to work; and then an economist to calculate the full amount of economic damages.
An experienced traumatic brain injury attorney will know what experts will be required and who are renowned in their field.
