The news that two cars of an L train in Chicago derailed yesterday is a reminder to us at Romanucci & Blandin about how frail life is.

Each year in The United States approximately 1.5 million Americans sustain Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) ranging from mild to severe; 51,000 people die from TBI; and 230,000 people are hospitalized due to TBI and survive. Romanucci & Blandin has extensive experience representing victims of TBI.

A brain injury, which can happen in a split second, usually causes an injury that lasts a lifetime. One good resource for information is the Brain Injury Association of America (www.biausa.com). Brain injury needs to be understood so that adequate help can be obtained. Getting legal representation from a firm with experience in representing victims of brain injury trauma should be the first line of defense.

The lawyers at Romanucci & Blandin also fully support nonprofit organizations that help victims of TBI: the Midwest Brain Injury Clubhouse (www.braininjuryclubhouse.org) and SALUTE Inc. (www.saluteinc.org), a non-profit advocacy organization, which provides support and assistance to military families of injured U.S. soldiers being treated at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The firm’s attorneys also speak nationwide about the legal issues related to TBI.
