Brain Injuries
Reviewed by Marco Crawford, Trial Attorney · Updated September 2026
A traumatic brain injury can change everything: how you think, work, sleep and relate to the people you love. Some brain injuries are obvious right away, while others, like concussions, can be missed at first and show up in the days and weeks that follow.
Marco Crawford represents people with brain injuries from car and truck crashes, falls, workplace accidents and other incidents. He works with doctors and specialists to document the full impact of the injury and fights for compensation that covers future care.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can happen any time the head is struck or violently jolted.
Vehicle crashes
Car, truck and motorcycle collisions.
Falls
Falls from ladders, scaffolds and unsafe surfaces.
Struck-by accidents
Being hit by falling objects or equipment at work.
Pedestrian and bicycle crashes
People struck while walking or riding.
Building a Strong Brain Injury Claim
Brain injury cases are often called invisible injury cases, because the person may look fine while struggling with memory, focus, headaches or mood. Insurance companies may try to use that to argue the injury isn't serious.
Strong cases connect the dots between the incident and the person's symptoms through medical records, neurological and neuropsychological testing, and the observations of family, friends and coworkers.
Because brain injuries can affect a person's ability to work and care for themselves for years, it's important not to settle before the long-term effects are understood.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a concussion be a serious injury?
Yes. Many people recover from concussions, but some have symptoms that last for months or longer. A concussion is a brain injury and should be taken seriously.
What if my scans came back normal?
Standard CT or MRI scans don't always show brain injuries. Symptoms, neurological testing and specialist evaluations can help document injuries that don't appear on imaging.
How is future care accounted for in a brain injury case?
Doctors, life care planners and other experts can estimate future treatment, therapy and support needs, which can be included in your claim.
What does it cost to hire Marco Crawford Law?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you.
My loved one has a brain injury and can't manage the case. Can family help?
Yes. Family members often help with communication and decisions, and in some situations a legal representative may need to be appointed. We'll explain the options.
How long does a brain injury case take?
It depends on the severity of the injury and how long it takes to understand the long-term effects. Rushing to settle can leave you without enough for future care.
