NYC Brain Injury Lawyer
Respected Queens Brain Damage Attorneys
According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 1.4 million people suffer some type of brain injury each year. A brain injury, like other catastrophic injuries, hurts more than just the injured person. It changes the life of every member of the family in many ways, large and small.
In cases of severe brain injuries, the victims may no longer be able to work the jobs they once held. They may need help to accomplish the tasks of daily life after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Even if an injured person can return to work, the family may notice personality changes, emotional changes (such as increased anger or depression), and memory problems.
It's essential for the injured person to receive the best medical and rehabilitative care available if they are to make maximum recovery.

At the New York law office of Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., our personal injury attorneys have been fighting for injured people for more than 40 years. If your brain injury was caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another, we are committed to maximizing your financial recovery so you can move forward with your life.
While motor vehicle accidents are a frequent cause of closed head injuries (concussions) and traumatic brain injuries, there are other causes as well. We handle brain injury cases resulting from:
- Car accidents, truck accidents and pedestrian accidents
- Medical malpractice, particularly in cases of birth injuries caused by fetal distress or lack of oxygen
- Falls on poorly maintained properties or at construction sites
Brain injury and brain damage cases are complex. We work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, vocational rehabilitation experts, and life care planners to help us explain the causes and extent of the injuries and the effects these injuries will have on our clients' lives.
Our lawyers prepare every case for trial. We have extensive courtroom experience and a track record of successful verdicts and settlements to show for it. Insurance companies know that we are not afraid to take the case as far as it needs to go in order to get you the money you deserve.
