Common Causes of Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries can happen in many different situations. 

At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we represent clients whose brain injuries were caused by incidents such as:

No matter how the injury happened, our goal is to investigate the cause, identify the responsible party, and build a claim that reflects the full extent of your losses.

How a Kirkland Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help

Brain injury cases often require more than basic proof of an accident. A strong claim may depend on medical records, legal opinions, witness statements, and evidence showing how the injury has affected your ability to work and live normally. A Kirkland brain injury lawyer can help by investigating what happened, gathering evidence, working with medical professionals, and dealing with insurance companies on your behalf.

At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we take a detailed approach to traumatic brain injury claims. We review medical records, speak with treating providers, and, when needed, work with specialists who can explain the long-term effects of the injury. We may also gather statements from family members, coworkers, and others who have seen how your condition has changed since the accident. This helps us present a clearer picture of both the visible and invisible harm caused by the injury.

Our Client Testimonials
    Neil Lindquist is very professional, knowledgeable, and an expert in his area.
    “I would highly recommend working with Neil to get you the most from your personal injury claim.”
    - Murray H.
    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.”

    “Working with Neil has been a very pleasant experience. He has gone above and beyond what was expected and was thorough and the process was smooth and easy. If I had any questions or concerns he was quick to explain everything in detail. Neil is very knowledgeable in the work he does and his character makes him someone you'd want to work with. He is accessible, whenever I called with questions he always got back to me right away and had the answers I was looking for.”

    We have no reservations in recommending Rob
    “My wife and I were involved in a 4 vehicle accident in late 2011. I was following my wife as we drove separately in our cars. As traffic stopped in front of her, I saw the situation and proceeded to slow almost to a stop when a vehicle following me, obviously not aware of the situation, struck me from behind, forcing me into my wife's car and she into a truck in front of her. All the vehicles besides the truck were totaled. Two "witnesses", who were not at good vantage points to see the accident, wrote incorrect information, which unfortunately the other driver's insurance company grabbed onto in their claim their insured was not totally at fault. Our insurance company was not obtaining witness reports and other information to help us in this situation. As we had suffered injuries directly related to the accident, as well as lost both cars, we chose to hire an attorney to help navigate through the mess. I searched online reviews and AVVO and identified a couple possible attorneys. After meeting with Rob Kornfeld, we knew we had just hired an advocate and an experienced litigator who wouldn't be deterred by insurance company tactics. I'm so glad we did. While the long wait to conclude medical procedures and to schedule depositions took much longer than we would have hoped, in the end, at arbitration, the legal expertise of Rob Kornfeld was evident and the smoke and mirrors presented by the opposing insurance company counsel proved futile. The Arbitrator ruled 100% in our favor and we had 0% liability. The Arbitrator award was reasonable and allowed us to recover our costs and reimburse for medical expenses plus some general damages. Rob's legal staff was good at keeping us updated when we had questions and responded to my requests for copies of documents and information. Rob shared his cell number so we were able to communicate directly when key parts of our case were coming up. Rob was very frank about potential risks he saw in the case, as well as what he felt was needed to prove our points. He always asked if there were questions we wanted answered during depositions and would help explain things me or my wife didn't understand. We felt heard, supported and confident being represented by Rob Kornfeld. We have no reservations in recommending Rob and his team to anyone needing representation against in insurance environment that is all about business and the bottom line.”
    - Brian
    I would use them again without question.
    “Robert and his paralegal were very professional and sympathetic to my situation. My case was very unique and challenging. Their office was up to it,where some lawyers were not. Overall very pleasant experience with them. I would use them again without question.”
    - Jon
    The BEST advocate anyone could hope for!
    “From the day we walked into Mr. Kornfeld’s office until the time our case was resolved, we knew that we were never alone in the journey. We sought justice after facing a terrible ordeal, and with Rob’s unwavering support, we were able to bring a semblance of closure to the things we had to go through as a family. Rob, given his extensive knowledge and remarkable experience in medical malpractice, is, without doubt, the BEST advocate anyone could hope for.”
