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.

Areas of Practice

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.

Our Client Testimonials

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.”
