Our client sustained multiple head injuries while on the job, leading to significant cognitive challenges. This case was particularly complex due to our client’s diagnosis of dementia, likely caused by either Lewy body disease or Alzheimer’s.
Attorney Jenna Cruise secured a pivotal medical opinion from the client’s neurologist, linking the traumatic brain injuries sustained at work to an early onset of dementia—or a worsening of existing symptoms. The neurologist concluded that the brain trauma exacerbated the brain’s vulnerability, making it less capable of managing degenerative conditions.
The case successfully settled for $145,000, ensuring our client received the support he needed after being unable to return to work due to cognitive impairments.
