    Proving a Traumatic Brain Injury With a Clean MRI | San Diego

    A traumatic brain injury can be proven even when the CT, MRI, DTI, and functional MRI all come back clean, as long as the symptoms are documented early and consistently over time. Liam Perry, a former insurance-defense litigator and founder of Perry Personal Injury Lawyers in San Diego, walks McCartney through what a TBI is, how to prove it, what it is worth, and how insurers fight it. Questions answered in this episode: Is a concussion a traumatic brain injury? What accidents most often cause a TBI? Can you prove a brain injury if the MRI comes back clean? How do you prove a crash caused a brain injury? What is a life care plan in a TBI case? How long does a brain injury case take? When should you contact a lawyer after a brain injury? Topics covered: Coup-contrecoup injuries, Glasgow Coma Scale, diffuse axonal injury, subdural hematomas, post-concussion syndrome, CTE, DTI and functional MRI, San Diego trauma center network, neuropsychological testing, maximum medical improvement (MMI), proximate cause, loss of earning capacity, life care plans, policy limits, comparative fault, defense medical exams (DMEs), nurse observers, eggshell skull doctrine, six-month government claim deadline, and San Diego Superior Court procedures. Notable from the episode: Liam Perry on permanent symptoms: "Brain injuries can't be fixed with surgery. They can only be fixed with rest, and symptoms that remain ongoing for years are likely going to be permanent." Liam Perry on neuropsych testing: "Defense loves neuropsychs because they can use them to try to say that you're normal." Liam Perry on defense medical exams: "These are not independent, and the clients need to know they're not independent going in." Perry Personal Injury Lawyers works on contingency and does not get paid unless it recovers.

    The Story Behind Liam Perry, a California-Based Lawyer

    What an insurance company offers on an injury claim is set by an internal program that prices the medical bills, not by what the injury took from you. Liam Perry, founder of Perry Personal Injury Lawyers in San Diego, spent about six years representing insurance companies before switching sides, and he walks McCartney through how carriers value, undervalue, and fight injury claims. Questions answered in this episode: How do insurance companies decide what an injury claim is worth? Why do adjusters want a recorded statement after a crash? Can a gap in medical treatment lower the value of your case? What does it mean to open an insurance policy limit? How long does an injury lawsuit take to reach trial? Topics covered: recorded statements, program-generated claim valuations, treatment gaps, policy limits and opening a policy, traumatic brain injury and delayed symptoms, premises cases, wrongful death policy limits, AI-driven claims handling, and the Consumer Attorneys of California. Notable from the episode: Liam Perry on adjuster tactics: "What the insurance companies will do is they will use every single statement you ever made against you." Liam Perry on unrepresented claimants: "We're talking about people who miss limbs and they're settling their case for fifty thousand dollars when they're not realizing that it could cost them millions of dollars just in medical expenses for the rest of their life." Liam Perry on adjuster phone calls: "Anything they need to say to me, they can say in writing. And if they don't say it in writing, it didn't happen." Liam Perry handles injury cases exclusively, has been named a Rising Star in Super Lawyers, and the firm answers its phones 24/7.
