Queens Brain Injury Lawyer, Fighting for Victims of Serious Head and Brain Trauma in Queens New York
A brain injury is one of the most devastating experiences anyone can face. In Queens, where busy streets, active job sites, and daily movement define life, one unexpected accident can change everything. Whether it happens in a car crash on the Grand Central Parkway, a fall at work in Long Island City, or a construction incident near JFK, the effects of brain trauma can be life-altering.
The human brain controls every part of who we are — our thoughts, memories, personality, and physical ability. When it is injured, the consequences ripple through every area of life. Victims often face confusion, memory loss, chronic pain, and even complete dependence on others for care. Families must watch their loved ones struggle to recover basic functions, all while trying to pay for overwhelming medical bills.
Unfortunately, many of these injuries are caused by negligence. Careless drivers, unsafe property owners, and employers who ignore safety regulations can all be held responsible. Yet, insurance companies often downplay the seriousness of brain injuries to protect their profits.
That is where The Injury Group comes in.
The Hidden Pain That No One Sees
Brain injuries are different from other injuries. A broken bone can heal, but brain trauma can last forever. What makes these injuries especially cruel is that the damage is often invisible to others. A person may look fine but still struggle with speech, focus, or emotions.
Victims often face skepticism from insurance adjusters and even friends who do not understand the depth of their suffering. Employers may question their ability to return to work. Family members can become emotionally exhausted, unsure how to help or what the future holds.
Meanwhile, the financial pressure keeps building. Rehabilitation, occupational therapy, and round-the-clock care can drain savings within months. Without proper legal representation, victims may be forced into accepting low settlements that barely cover short-term expenses.
No one should have to suffer silently or settle for less than full justice. At The Injury Group, we understand the emotional, physical, and financial impact of brain injuries — and we fight to make sure your future is secure.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Queens NY
Brain injuries can happen anywhere — at work, on the road, or even walking down the street. Some of the most common causes include:
Motor vehicle crashes. Collisions involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles are a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries. Even a low-speed accident can cause significant harm if the brain strikes the inside of the skull.
Slip and fall incidents. Wet floors, uneven pavement, or missing warning signs can cause dangerous falls. Victims, especially older adults, may strike their head and suffer serious damage that affects balance and memory.
Construction and workplace accidents. Falling objects, unsafe ladders, and malfunctioning equipment can lead to catastrophic head injuries. Employers are required to maintain safe job sites but too often fail to follow the law.
Sports or recreational accidents. Football, cycling, or contact sports can cause repeated concussions that lead to long-term brain injury if left untreated.
Acts of violence. Assaults, shaken baby syndrome, and domestic violence can cause direct trauma that changes brain function permanently.
Every cause requires a careful investigation to determine fault and identify all responsible parties.
Types of Brain Injuries We Handle
Not all brain injuries are the same. Each one requires specific medical care and legal expertise.
Concussions. These occur when the brain is jolted suddenly inside the skull. Even so-called mild concussions can lead to chronic headaches, fatigue, and concentration problems that disrupt everyday life.
Contusions. A bruise or bleed on the brain surface can lead to swelling that requires surgical treatment. Without proper care, contusions can cause pressure that damages surrounding tissue.
Diffuse axonal injury. This happens when the brain twists inside the skull, tearing nerve fibers. Victims often lose consciousness immediately and may suffer lifelong cognitive impairments.
Anoxic or hypoxic brain injuries. When the brain is deprived of oxygen, cells begin to die within minutes. These injuries can result from medical negligence, near drownings, or defective safety equipment.
Penetrating brain injuries. These involve an object entering the skull, often causing irreversible damage that demands immediate surgery and lifelong rehabilitation.
Each case requires a deep understanding of medicine and the law. Our firm works with specialists to prove how your specific injury affects your life today and in the years ahead.
Symptoms of Brain Injury
Brain injury symptoms can appear immediately or develop slowly over time. Ignoring them can delay recovery and harm your claim.
Headaches and dizziness. Persistent headaches, light sensitivity, and dizziness are common signs of brain trauma and should never be dismissed.
Memory and concentration problems. Victims often struggle to focus or remember simple details. These issues can make it difficult to return to work or manage daily responsibilities.
Emotional and behavioral changes. Sudden anger, anxiety, or depression are frequent effects of brain injury. They can strain family relationships and reduce quality of life.
Sleep and energy disturbances. Many people experience fatigue or insomnia after a brain injury. These symptoms can make healing even more difficult.
Speech and communication difficulties. Some victims lose the ability to find words or speak clearly. Therapy is often needed to regain these essential skills.
If you experience any of these issues after an accident, see a doctor immediately and contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Brain injury victims often face enormous expenses that last a lifetime. We fight to recover the full value of your claim, including:
Medical expenses and long-term care. We include not only emergency treatment but also therapy, medication, and ongoing rehabilitation. Brain injuries require extensive recovery, and your settlement should reflect that.
Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity. Many victims cannot return to their jobs or earn what they once did. We calculate the total financial impact of your injury — including future losses.
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress. The emotional burden of living with a brain injury is immense. Compensation should account for the mental and emotional trauma you endure.
Permanent disability or cognitive impairment. When a person’s life is permanently changed, damages should reflect the depth of that loss.
Loss of companionship or family support. Families often suffer too. We fight for compensation that honors the emotional strain your loved ones experience.
Our goal is simple — to ensure your future is financially secure and your suffering is fully acknowledged.
Workers’ Compensation and Third-Party Brain Injury Claims
If your brain injury occurred on the job, you may qualify for workers’ compensation. However, that does not always provide full justice.
When Workers’ Compensation Applies
You should file for workers’ compensation when:
The injury occurred while performing your job duties. Whether it happened on a construction site or in a warehouse, you are entitled to medical care and partial wage replacement.
Your employer carries insurance. Most New York employers are required to provide workers’ compensation. This coverage ensures basic protection but has limits.
No third party caused the injury. Workers’ compensation does not allow you to sue your employer in most cases unless there was gross negligence.
When You Can File a Lawsuit
Sometimes, workers can pursue both workers’ compensation and a personal injury lawsuit. You may sue if:
A subcontractor, property owner, or manufacturer caused your injury. Many job sites involve multiple parties. If someone other than your employer was negligent, you may be entitled to greater compensation.
Your employer ignored safety regulations. If they knowingly violated New York safety laws or forced you to work in dangerous conditions, a lawsuit may be justified.
Defective equipment contributed to your injury. Manufacturers can be held responsible for unsafe helmets, ladders, or machinery.
You were denied proper safety training or equipment. Employers have a legal duty to protect workers. Failure to do so opens them to additional liability.
A personal injury lawsuit can recover much more than workers’ compensation alone, including pain and suffering, full wage loss, and emotional damages.
