Personal Injury Law:
Traumatic Brain and Spine Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury

Even a concussion or a “mild” head injury can result in immediate and long-term consequences for the victim. A person with a more serious head injury may be unable to continue with work, school, or family responsibilities for a long time. Often, emergency room treatment, follow-up medical care, rehabilitation, and therapy result in large medical expenses.

Even after the initial crisis phase is over and the victim appears to be “back to normal,” life may never be the same again. The injured person often experiences lingering effects such as difficulty concentrating, mood swings, personality changes, and social dysfunction.

A victim with a truly traumatic head injury (TBI), on the other hand, may suffer even more debilitating consequences, including loss of body functions and, sometimes, a lengthy to permanent comatose condition. The traumatic brain injury victim may require lifelong personal care and assistance.

Whether you or your family member suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and whether it happened yesterday or last year, you are urged to discuss your situation with an experienced head injury lawyer. Attorney Evan Foulke knows the law, how insurance companies handle these cases, and how to advocate effectively on behalf of personal injury victims.

Spinal Cord Injury

If a serious vehicle collision or a dreadful accident at a construction site has injured your spinal cord, it is time to contact Evan Foulke.

A spinal cord injury is nearly always a life-altering event. Whether a construction worker or auto accident victim has suffered a herniated disc or slipped disc or a motorcycle accident or a slip and fall victim has suffered from total paralysis, urgent and long-term needs, and losses will most likely include one or more of the following:

  • Emergency room care
  • Hospitalization
  • Rehabilitation
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Psychological counseling
  • Adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs
  • Accommodations in the home, such as wheelchair ramps and remodeling of kitchen and bathroom to allow for wheelchair movement
  • Loss of income due to an inability to perform the same tasks prior to the injury

The sooner an experienced, zealous personal injury attorney is on the case, the more likely it is that full and fair compensation will be within reach. A well-qualified lawyer will go to work simultaneously on several different aspects of the case:

  • Evaluation of the car crash or construction accident:
  • Circumstances
  • Liability
  • Insurance
  • Evaluation of the injuries
  • Estimation of the victim’s long-term needs
  • Evaluation of a family’s overall losses and pain and suffering

Attorney Evan Foulke of Foulke Law Firm brings a wealth of knowledge and preparedness to the task of representing spinal cord injury victims. Mr. Foulke previously represented insurance companies and worked with two large law firms. The level of sophistication that he acquired through his previous experience is matched or surpassed by his dedication to personal service for clients of Foulke Law Firm.
