Case Study

When our client, Jimmy, picked up his daughter one afternoon, he had no way of knowing that a routine traffic accident would completely change his life. But as he drove down a busy North Charleston roadway, Jimmy suddenly confronted a car pulling into his lane from the far right - a car that a good Samaritan had casually waved through without regard for oncoming traffic. Jimmy struck the car at full force and, as a result, his neck snapped forward and back-never making contact with the windshield or steering wheel.

At the accident scene, Jimmy complained of a headache, but made his way home. Within a week, the pain had grown more severe and he visited an emergency room, where a smart doctor ordered a brain scan. The resulting image showed a major hematoma on Jimmy's left frontal lobe - the area of the brain that governs social skills and regulates emotions.
