Brain injuries can be devastating, impacting every aspect of your life. Often, these catastrophic injuries lead to long term disabilities that require ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and possibly even daily care. Brain injuries can be mild in nature, such as a concussion which results in a full recovery after a few days or weeks. However, these injuries can also be extremely severe, making it difficult to perform ordinary daily tasks that were once routine.
If your brain injury was caused by the negligence of another, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. Jim Miron has been fighting for the rights of brain injury victims in the Bridgeport area for more than 29 years. He understands the devastation these injuries cause to the victims and their families, and he is committed to helping you get through this difficult time in your life. Jim will work tirelessly to recover your compensation so you can focus your attention and energy on getting better.
