Pennsylvania Brain Injury and Head Trauma Attorneys
Brain injuries are not like any other type of injury. In some cases, symptoms of a closed head injury or other trauma can seem minor, but are actually indicative of a serious injury. In other cases, a brain injury can have immediate, severe consequences for a victim, including brain damage that leads to a permanent disability or condition. Of course, in the worst cases, brain damage can lead to paralysis or death.
Due to their unique nature, brain injuries also need to be treated differently by medical professionals and in personal injury cases. At the Chambersburg law firm of DiLoreto, Cosentino & Bolinger, P.C., our lawyers provide experienced representation to the victims of brain injuries. For more than two decades, we have achieved successful results for hundreds of clients who have suffered serious injuries, including brain injuries, in car, truck, motorcycle and other accidents in Pennsylvania.

Traumatic Brain Injuries
When the brain is jolted by a sudden, violent impact, it can result in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that is caused by bruising, bleeding or torn nerve fibers in the brain. Falls and motor vehicle accidents are the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, more than a million people suffer traumatic brain injuries every year in the United States. Almost 50,000 of those injuries result in death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that almost 3 million people in the United States require long-term care as the result of living with a traumatic brain injury.
Brain injuries can cause many symptoms and conditions, including:
- Memory loss
- Trouble handling stress and emotional outbursts
- Loss of fine motor skills
- Functional changes to thinking, language, behavior and sensation
- Conditions such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy
