Traumatic Brain Injury & Cognitive Trauma Claims in Southeast Nebraska
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can fundamentally alter how you process information, regulate emotion, and perform your daily work. Unlike a shattered bone or a severed limb, closed-head trauma frequently leaves no visible external scar.
This invisibility creates a unique and significant legal challenge.
Corporate insurance adjusters actively exploit this lack of visible external damage. They routinely minimize life-altering cognitive injuries by classifying them as temporary "mild concussions." To reduce their financial exposure, insurers point to standard emergency room CT scans, which frequently miss microscopic neural tearing, to argue that victims sustained no permanent damage to their brains in their respective accidents. They then hire defense medical examiners to assert that you will make a full, rapid recovery despite evidence clearly suggesting the contrary.
Brock Law Offices aggressively dismantles corporate narratives like these using objective medical evidence. We never rely on basic emergency room discharge summaries to build a catastrophic brain injury claim. Instead, our team collaborates directly with clinical neuropsychologists and neurology experts who conduct exhaustive cognitive testing. These specialists isolate and document your exact neurological deficits. They accurately measure severe declines in your executive function, short-term memory retention, and information-processing speed.
We offer free case consultations and work on a contingency fee basis. Call our Lincoln brain injury attorney at (402) 205-5594 or contact us online.
Appellate Experience in Lincoln TBI Claims
Ladd v. Complete Concrete, Inc. began with a traumatic brain injury and multiple skull fractures suffered on a job site. The medical facts were largely settled. What the employer fought was the earning capacity. It brought a vocational rehabilitation expert to argue that the number should be lower. The court found a total loss of earning capacity anyway, and the employer appealed that finding.
Tony Brock defended the award through the Nebraska Court of Appeals, which affirmed it in full. Earning capacity is almost always the largest single figure in a brain injury case, which is why it draws the most concentrated attack, and why the argument does not end when the hearing does.
