Long Island Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers
Traumatic Brain Injury lawyers
Serving the residents of Long Island and all 5 boroughs in NY (Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, and Staten Island).
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most devastating and life-altering injuries a person can experience — and it happens more often than people think. Even a simple fall can lead to catastrophic consequences, as was the case with one of our clients.
A 76-year-old woman slipped on untreated ice outside a convenience store. No salt or ice melt had been applied. She sustained a serious traumatic brain injury. At Sullivan and Sullivan LLP, we fought for her and secured a $375,000 settlement. If you’ve suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, we’re ready to fight for you too.

Understanding the Medical Impact
Brain injuries are caused by bruising, bleeding, twisting, or tearing of brain tissue. Damage may be immediate — or worsen over time due to swelling or internal bleeding. Diagnostic tools such as MRIs and CT scans help assess severity. Treatment often involves emergency stabilization, surgical intervention, and long-term rehabilitation to restore function and help the patient adapt to lasting impairments.
Unfortunately, there is no complete “cure” for traumatic brain injuries. Recovery is a slow, challenging process that can involve permanent lifestyle changes — both for the injured and their families.
Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries often result from incidents such as:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Assault or violent attacks
- Medical negligence
Car accidents remain the leading cause of TBIs. A head injury can occur from direct trauma (like striking the windshield) or even without direct contact, as with whiplash — where rapid acceleration or deceleration causes internal brain movement.

Our legal team ensures that the diagnosis, prognosis, and cause of the injury are clearly linked to the incident — a critical factor in maximizing compensation.
If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury in New York — including Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, or Long Island (Nassau/Suffolk County) — you don’t have to face the legal process alone.
Types of Brain Injuries
Closed-Head Injuries:
These occur when the skull remains intact but the brain is damaged by internal movement. Whiplash, falls, or blunt trauma often lead to closed-head injuries. Despite the absence of visible fractures, these injuries can cause serious cognitive and neurological issues.
Open-Head Injuries:
In these cases, the skull is fractured or penetrated. Open-head injuries are extremely severe and may require surgery to remove damaged tissue or reconstruct parts of the skull.
