Las Vegas, NV personal injury attorney Keith E. Galliher talks about his approach to handling traumatic brain injury cases. He notes that traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases present unique challenges from a litigation standpoint because, in most instances, the injuries are not visible. Traumatic brain injuries vary widely in severity. While the public often envisions extreme cases—where the individual loses the ability to speak, reason, or function independently—many TBIs produce far more subtle symptoms. These injuries are often difficult to detect through standard diagnostic tools like CAT scans or MRIs, which may appear normal even when the person has sustained brain damage. The injuries can be microscopic and affect different areas of the brain that traditional tests may not reveal.

He notes that advancements in medical imaging have significantly improved diagnosis. Diffuse Tensor Imaging (DTI), a state-of-the-art technique, allows highly credentialed physicians to identify specific areas of brain injury with precision. These diagnoses enable doctors to tailor treatment effectively. One such treatment is electromagnetic stimulation, a therapy that has become increasingly recognized for its potential to help patients with TBIs—though it remains unfamiliar to many attorneys who handle brain injury cases.

He emphasizes that at the Galler Law Firm, they understand the complexities of brain injuries. They know how to accurately diagnose them and, most importantly, how they can be treated to improve outcomes. This knowledge ensures that the firm can focus on the client’s recovery, which should always be the central concern in any personal injury case.
