New York, NY personal injury attorney Michael Ronemus tells the story of a memorable traumatic brain injury case he handled. He recounts one of his earliest traumatic brain injury cases, involving a teacher in a New York City public school. During a fire drill, the school needed to evacuate, and as the teacher was heading to the stairway, a student pushed a door open, striking him in the temple. At the time, the teacher did not believe the injury was serious and was able to evacuate the building.
Over the following weeks and months, however, he began to experience significant symptoms of traumatic brain injury. He lost his ability to speak and walk, experienced a marked decline in cognitive function, and suffered from severe headaches—typical manifestations of a serious brain injury. The injury profoundly affected his entire life.
He was able to take the case and present it effectively to a jury, demonstrating the serious impact of the injury and advocating for the teacher’s rights and recovery.
