Attorney Joe Gagliardi
Houston, TX Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Claims Lawyer

When treatment is possible, multiple surgeries are usually just a component of a long rehabilitation process.
If yourself, a relative, or other loved one suffered a traumatic brain or head injury as a result of the negligence of another party or as a result of an accident, there’s a strong chance that you’re entitled to financial compensation for medical bills, pain, suffering, lost income, and other damages.
