Tacoma Brain Injury Lawyer
Tacoma brain injury lawyers fight for maximum compensation while you heal from serious head trauma and other traumatic brain injuries.
A brain injury can change a life in seconds.
Even what seems like a “mild” concussion can affect memory, balance, sleep, mood, and job performance.
When a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by someone else’s negligence, the consequences are often long-term and life-altering.
Our Tacoma brain injury lawyers represent individuals and families across Pierce County dealing with the medical, emotional, and financial impact of serious head injuries.
If your injury is severe or permanent, your case may also qualify as a catastrophic injury claim. Learn more on our Tacoma catastrophic injury page.
You pay nothing unless we win your case.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a blow, jolt, or penetration disrupts normal brain function.
A brain injury does not need to involve loss of consciousness to be serious.
- Concussions and post-concussion syndrome
- Brain contusions (bruising of brain tissue)
- Hemorrhages and brain bleeds
- Hematomas (blood clots in or around the brain)
- Diffuse axonal injury
- Penetrating head injuries
If your brain injury occurred during a vehicle collision, you may also want to review our Tacoma car accident page.
Symptoms and Long-Term Effects of Brain Injuries
Brain injury symptoms may appear immediately or develop over hours or days.
Many people underestimate their injury because symptoms can be subtle or inconsistent at first.
- Headaches or pressure in the head
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Confusion or difficulty concentrating
- Memory loss
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Sleep disturbances and fatigue
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Personality or emotional changes
Moderate and severe TBIs may result in seizures, paralysis, or the need for long-term care.
Brain injuries often occur alongside spinal trauma. Learn more on our Tacoma spinal injury page.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
"I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation."
Diagnosis, Treatment and Rehabilitation
Diagnosing a brain injury may involve ER exams, CT scans, MRIs, neurological testing, and neuropsychological evaluations.
Even when imaging appears normal, a person may still experience serious cognitive and emotional effects.
- Emergency care and monitoring
- Hospitalization
- Medication management
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Cognitive rehabilitation
- Mental health counseling
Severe accidents may also cause burns or amputations. Learn more on our burn injury and amputation injury pages.

A brain injury affects every part of life, not just physical health.

- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our Tacoma brain injury lawyers work with neurologists, life-care planners, and medical experts to build strong, evidence-backed claims.
