Idaho Head Injury Attorneys
Bones heal, but brain damage usually results in lasting impairments. Brain injuries may go unnoticed at first, because of other more obvious injuries from an accident and because the symptoms can be subtle and slow to manifest.
If you suspect a loved one suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is critical to get a proper diagnosis and to consult an attorney experienced in these cases.
The Boise personal injury lawyers of Carty Houst excel at connecting brain injury to accident trauma to identify those parties who are liable. We are equally skilled at extracting comprehensive compensation for the long-term care needs, economic loss and profound impact on the victim and loved ones.
Boise Brain Injury Lawyers
We have recovered damages for many brain injury victims throughout Idaho, from the subtle but serious effects of concussion to major cognitive and physical impairment.
Our experienced trial attorneys, partners Stuart Carty and Henry Houst Jr., bring more than 60 years of combined experience in personal injury litigation, including dozens of settlements and verdicts for catastrophic injuries. They have a strong support team and have cultivated a network of top neurologists, neuropsychologists and other brain specialists who can assess and treat our clients and testify that brain damage resulted directly from:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip-and-fall head injuries
- Near-drownings
- Workplace falls or explosions
- Medical negligence, such as birth trauma or anesthesia errors
The Carty Houst firm has handled closed head injuries, skull fractures, chemical exposures and hypoxic brain injury (oxygen deprivation). We are familiar with the wide range of symptoms of traumatic brain injury: amnesia and short-term memory loss, impaired vision, chronic headache or ringing ears, dizziness or vertigo, loss of motor function, personality change, depression or angry outbursts. Our firm can connect clients and their caregivers to qualified physicians who go beyond traditional tests and scans to fully diagnose the nature and extent of injury.
And most importantly, we are skilled at demonstrating to an insurance company negotiator or a jury the full impact and often lifelong needs of brain injury victims: nursing or assisted living care, medical equipment and costly medications, home modifications, physical rehab, occupational therapy and psychiatric care, as well as projected lost income.
Sadly, most brain injury victims are aware of their limitations and what they have permanently lost. We are committed to holding negligent parties accountable for the pain, daily challenges of living and emotional suffering. As proof, we bear the initial costs of hiring life care planners, economists and other professionals required to investigate accidents and calculate and justify the monetary damages. There are no attorney fees or costs of litigation to the family unless we recover compensation.
