Albuquerque Brain Injury Lawyer

Over 20 years ago, a university student here in New Mexico was involved in an accident. His injury was suffered when scaffolding fell and struck him on the head. Because little exterior physical damage or more pointed neurological responses were apparent after the accident, not a single doctor would recognize his symptoms as indicative of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This was the first personal injury case in which attorney John R. Tiwald was consciously aware that his client was suffering from TBI.

While much has changed in our understanding of TBI, many doctors and lawyers still fail to recognize more subtle symptoms of a mild to moderate brain injury. Since that case over two decades ago, we at the law firm of John R. Tiwald, P.C. have devoted significant attention to representing clients suffering from brain injury.

If you have suffered an injury to the head and are continuing to live with symptoms that make daily functions at work or home difficult tasks, contact us today.

Traumatic Brain Injury, a Difficult Diagnosis

One thing that makes diagnosis of a brain injury so difficult is the fact that there does not have to be a visible blow to the head for an injury to occur. A sudden acceleration or deceleration of the body can result in a severe traumatic brain injury (as is often the case with babies who are shaken). If, following an auto accident or a fall, you find that you have headaches, memory problems, concentration issues, a personality change or difficulty in organizing kinds of tasks, it is important to speak with a doctor immediately.

Supporting Clients Through Genuine Care and Strong Advocacy

If these symptoms are the result of an injury for which another party is responsible, call on John R. Tiwald, co-founder of the Brain Injury Law Center of New Mexico. We are compassionate, genuine advocates for those who have suffered traumatic brain injury, whether mild, moderate or severe. Our commitment to the highest standards of client advocacy and care is reflected in our interest and knowledge of these often misunderstood injuries.
