And while more than a quarter of a million people nationally are hospitalized each year with traumatic brain injuries, they will leave the hospital as disabled survivors required to cope with those constraints for however long they persist. Some of these handicaps will last indefinitely, putting a strain on financial, emotional and physical performance for the rest of their lives.
What is Traumatic Brain Injury?
Although a concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury, whose effects can last for a short to moderately-long period of time, sometimes with debilitating consequences, more severe traumatic brain injury is defined by more serious symptoms.
The human brain is responsible for so many vital aspects of our existence that a more serious brain injury can result in a number of impairments. These can include mental problems with memory, reasoning, attention, communication and an inability to solve problems. Difficulties with physical functions can include arm or leg weakness in addition to a failure to control coordination; visual deficiencies; problems sleeping; and general lethargy. Emotionally, a person with a traumatic brain injury may display symptoms related to violence, such as uncontrolled anger; excessive worry, anxiety or panic; and an acute vulnerability to depression. Finally, if a person is able to maintain employment during the aftermath of such an injury, his behavior will be characterized by exaggerated impulse, difficulty getting started, as well as problems with concentration which will impact prolonging activity for any length of time. In fact, traumatic brain injury results in more lost on-the-job productivity than any other type of affliction.

I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. Joel Gordon and his staff were very professional and thorough. Mr. Gordon was always available to answer any questions I had throughout the case and when he was unavailable he returned calls very quickly. I also got great medical attention without having to worry about making upfront payments. I definitely recommend Joel A. Gordon & Associates to anyone who needs his services. Great attorney and staff!
In December 2012 I was in a very bad accident. My mother’s car was totaled and I did not have a lawyer at the time. After the accident I was referred to a lawyer by a friend and the process was very slow and not professional. I dropped that lawyer and hired Mr. Gordon. Mr. Gordon helped my mother get paid for her car and helped close my injury case. The overall experience with Mr. Gordon and his firm was very professional. Everything in my case moved quickly and in an orderly manner.
As populated as our city is..accidents, sometimes are inevitable. It’s during those times, when you need someone you can trust the most. Therefore, for the past 10+ years and the few accidents my family and I have been involved in, we all go to Mr. Joel Gordon. Not only is he professional, but also friendly and compassionate towards your situation and guides with the heart, not the #’s (un-like some out there).?
I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. Joel Gordon was never hard to reach and always had an answer to any question. He did a good job at keeping you updated with anything that went on. He goes out of his way to make sure his client is satisfied. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has been in an accident.
I am very very pleased with the prompt professional service I received from Mr Gordon recently after being hit by another driver while stopped at a red light. The other driver’s company was stalling and not doing much of anything to get matters settled with my car or health issues, but within 24 hours of calling Mr. Gordon, he got my vehicle settlement for me and made arrangements for me to start getting treatments for my neck and shoulder injuries.
