Brain injury
A traumatic brain injury concerns brain function; the legal inquiry also needs the event history and its documented effect on the person’s life. Keep diagnosis and treatment questions with healthcare professionals. For a review request, summarize what clinicians have told you, follow-up visits and changes in work or daily activities. Do not use an online form to diagnose an injury or choose treatment.
- Event details and available report references
- Names of treating facilities and a concise visit timeline
- Documented changes in work, school or daily activities
Location to identify: The place of the collision, fall or other event; the report number and issuing organization; and where any lawsuit was filed.
Ask a lawyer: What medical records and functional history would be needed for a secure review?
