Dedicated to Securing the Compensation You Deserve
Protect Your Future After a Head, Neck, and Spine Injury
Injuries to the brain and spine from car or other accidents can be life-altering, causing immense frustration and anguish for victims and their families. Unlike broken bones, brain damage or paralysis is rarely temporary. At Herrling Clark Law Firm, Ltd., we recognize that a significant brain injury can result in a profound loss. If you or a loved one has suffered head, neck, or spinal cord damage due to another’s negligence, we can help you pursue legal action.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can be “invisible,” with victims appearing physically fine but struggling with confusion, inconsistent behavior, and personality changes. Spinal cord injuries often involve a slow and painful recovery, with serious cases like paraplegia or quadriplegia requiring lifelong adjustments. At Herrling Clark, we are dedicated to securing the compensation needed for your current and future expenses, and providing strong legal support during this challenging time.

FAQs
If someone suffers a suspected head, neck, or spine injury, your actions must prioritize their safety. Call 911 immediately. It is crucial not to move the injured person unless they are in immediate danger, as improper movement could worsen a severe spinal injury. These types of injuries require specialized medical attention and should only be handled by trained professionals. Once the immediate medical emergency is addressed, you should consult with an attorney experienced in handling cases that involve complex neurological and orthopedic damage.
Yes, a concussion is medically classified as a mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). A concussion occurs after a blow or jolt to the head that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull, creating temporary disruption of normal brain function. Even though concussions are classified as “mild,” they can still lead to significant, long-lasting symptoms. If you or a loved one suspects any brain injury, a thorough medical evaluation is imperative, followed by consultation with a dedicated Herrling Clark brain injury attorney to protect your future legal rights.
Claiming for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) requires careful documentation of all symptoms and treatment from the date of the accident onward. TBI claims are complex because the long-term impact on cognitive, physical, and emotional function can be extensive and difficult to prove. Herrling Clark Law Firm has experience handling TBI cases and can engage medical experts, life-care planners, and vocational specialists to fully demonstrate your damages and maximize the value of your claim.
You can claim medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress from your neck and spine injury. If you’ve been injured, contact a Herrling Clark attorney to help you fight for fair compensation.
Yes, compensation is available for neck injuries sustained in a car accident, provided the injury resulted from another person’s negligence. Whether you receive compensation depends on establishing fault and the severity of the injury. A Herrling Clark personal injury attorney will work to prove the extent of your injury through medical records, doctor testimony, and imaging scans to ensure you receive a fair settlement that covers the full scope of your past and future losses.
While any injury to the head should prompt medical evaluation, persistent headaches, confusion, nausea/vomiting, memory loss, loss of consciousness (even briefly), difficulty with balance, and changes in mood are serious red flags indicating a potentially severe head injury. Since symptoms may be delayed, it’s critical that anyone who experiences a significant impact to the head seeks professional medical attention immediately, even if they initially feel fine.
Lawyers negotiate personal injury settlements by meticulously preparing the case to demonstrate clear liability and substantial damages. This involves gathering expert evidence (medical, accident reconstruction), formally establishing liability against the responsible parties, and sending a comprehensive demand package to the insurer. When your future’s at stake, don’t hesitate to contact our experienced personal injury attorneys. We fight for the compensation you deserve.
