Firsthand Experience with Serious Injuries

In July, 1985, Attorney Rob Kornfeld woke up in the hospital severely injured, with no idea what had happened to him. Through this horrible experience, Rob learned the importance of recovering financially, physically and emotionally. Rob underwent over 10 surgeries for some of his injuries and made a full recovery from a head injury, (a mild traumatic brain injury). After his accident, Attorney Rob Kornfeld now knows firsthand what clients and their families (particularly those recovering from head injuries) are going through, which is why his dedication and legal expertise is so invaluable to you.

What is the Definition of a Traumatic Brain Injury?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a traumatic brain injury is likely to occur when there is "a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head, or a penetrating brain injury."

Some common signs of a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, include:

Loss of consciousness
Confusion
Headaches
Dizziness
Light or sound sensitivity
Nausea or vomiting
Insomnia or over-tiredness

Brain injuries are catastrophic not only for the patient, but for their families and loved ones as well. Recovery can take months or years, and in some cases, the victim may never get back to the life they once led. For this reason, it is absolutely crucial for brain injury victims to work with an experienced attorney.

Obtaining Compensation for a Serious Brain Injury

In a personal injury case involving head trauma, victims may be entitled to compensation.

Some forms of compensation you may receive include:

Emotional suffering
Medical bills
Suffering due to loss of quality of life
Loss of wages or earning potential

Our attorneys at Lindquist & Kornfeld can look into all aspects of your brain injury case. We can help determine what compensation you may be owed and fight for your rights in court.

Lindquist & Kornfeld represents victims who have suffered from the following types of brain injuries:

Paralysis & Quadriplegia- Paralysis can have a lasting impact on a person's life due to the fact that these types of injuries are often irreversible. Paralysis occurs when nerve cells in the spinal cord are damaged.
Permanent Brain Injury- Aneurysms are the result of an artery wall that has been weakened as a result of a serious injury. These injuries are often the result of a healthcare professional's failure to provide quality care.

Spinal Cord Damage- Spinal cord injuries may cause paralysis, breathing issues, severe physical pain and emotional distress. All spinal cord injuries lead to severe and lasting effects, and require extensive medical treatment.
Vertebral Artery Dissections- Vertebral artery dissections often pose a serious threat to an individual's health, and are often difficult to diagnose. These injuries occur on the back of the neck near the spine and are a result of torn artery walls.
Bleeds in the Brain- Any sudden or violent blow to the head can cause serious head trauma and result in permanent injuries. Common symptoms of brain bleeds may include dizziness, headaches, vision issues, convulsions, and many more.
Wrongful Death- Losing a loved one as a result of someone else's negligence is one of the most traumatic events to go through. If you are a surviving family member of someone who is deceased due to a catastrophic brain injury, you may be able to seek compensation for your suffering.

Hear It Straight From The People We've Helped

Our Client Testimonials

Thank you for all your help!
“I am very pleased. Thank you for all your help! It was my first car accident and I had no idea what to do, you all were a huge help and blessing. I would recommend this firm to friends and family. They were straight forward, had good communication and handles the process well. Thanks again.”

- Car Accident Client
11/10 highly recommend!
“I don't know if I can leave a review good enough for Neil. I called him looking for legal advice for a relative who has found themselves in a really complicated and frustrating situation. Before I called Neil, I felt completely out of my depth and without any understanding of how to proceed. Neil spent hours on the phone with me and my relative, at no charge might I add, trying to help us get a handle on the situation. Without his help, I would still be pacing the floor and unable to see a way forward. His advice was sound and concise. His ability to deal with complex personalities while remaining calm is remarkable.”

- Corrina A.
Without hesitation I will continue to refer people to him for representation.
“I have known Rob for as long as I have practiced law in Washington. I have represented clients against him, and without hesitation I have, and will continue to refer people to him for representation.”

- Jeffrey Twersky Car Accidents Attorney
He is aggressive, yet professional every step of the way.
“I endorse this lawyer. Rob is a straight-shooter and a fine attorney. I have worked both with and against him in personal injury and employment matters. I found Rob a pleasure to work with and against. He is aggressive, yet professional every step of the way. He has a solid grasp of his case and knows how he wants to present it. He is prepared and knows the law inside and out. I very much look forward to our next opportunity to work together.”

- Bradley Davis General Practice Attorney
If you are an injured bus driver, you need Rob Kornfeld.
“I am very grateful to Rob Kornfeld and his paralegal for the many months they invested in my personal injury/worker's compensation case. Without his knowledge and dedication, the case may not have gone so well.. I was hit head-on , while working as a bus driver. My ex-employer, being self-insured, cancelled my needed second rotator surgery, deliberately removed me from my job, with the admitted intent to fire me when my FMLA expired, and then wanted to keep a lien on my personal injury settlement. Mr. Kornfeld's knowledge, experience and determination paid off, and I am very grateful to he and his paralegal, Dawn, for being so tolerant of my fears, anxieties, and numerous emails to them, during these harsh economic uncertainties of being injured and un-employed. I am still un-employed, but many thanks to Mr. Kornfeld, I now have the faith I will survive this horrific experience. I highly recommend Rob Kornfeld to any and all injured bus drivers who face the same self-injured suffering.”

- Anonymous
Rob went out of his way to make sure I knew what was going on at all times and that I was comfortable whether it be mentally or physically
“Rob has been the best attorney I could've asked for. Him and his staff are so friendly and helpful, you're always in constant contact with all of them. Rob went out of his way to make sure I knew what was going on at all times and that I was comfortable whether it be mentally or physically. Thank you Rob, Christy and Dawn for all you've done for me!!”
