February 28, 2015 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Not all Traumatic Brain Injuries show up on imaging scans, and there’s a strong case to be made that the majority of brain injuries are much more subtle than diagnostics can account for.

Study Of Modern Football Helmets Questions Ability To Protect From Brain Injury

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Most of the people who use football helmets in the New Orleans area do not play for the New Orleans Saints. Instead, they are elementary, high school and college students.

How Common Is Traumatic Brain Injury Following A Serious Accident?

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Traumatic brain injury is among the more subtle and difficult to diagnosis injuries seen in New Orleans personal injury accidents.

According to an older study from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, 6,754 Louisiana residents were […]

How Can You Prove A Brain Injury When There Is No Obvious Damage?

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Traumatic Brain Injury is among the more difficult injuries for New Orleans personal injury attorneys to prove.

July 18, 2013 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

As experienced TBI lawyers, we understand that no amount of money can truly compensate a person who has suffered an extreme and long-term injury.

How Can You Tell If Someone Has A Traumatic Brain Injury?

June 5, 2012 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Not all brain injuries are caused by striking the head during an accident.
