Do you suffer from a repetitive head injury? This happens when your brain is subjected to successive traumas.
Over the years, this kind of injury has been associated with contact sports where players frequently suffer concussions. Even once the concussion has subsided, the subsequent concussions can be damaging. These repetitive head injuries can result in long-term functional and cognitive problems.
Brain injury cases can be complex. Often, repetitive brain injuries are so microscopic that defense teams will argue their existence. Our New York head injury lawyer at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP has ample experience building successful cases in this field. We collaborate with medical experts to create a map of the damage a brain has endured.

Even after a concussion has healed within 6 – 18 months after an injury, the subsequent consequences can be damaging. Recurrent head injuries can result in functional and cognitive deficiencies.
