The Virginian-Pilot wrote about military members recovering from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) due to battle-related injuries...and car accidents. In a Navy/Military area such as Hampton Roads, Virginia (VA) the chances of a military member getting in a car accident or simply suffering an injury is higher than other parts of the country. This is why it’s important to consult with a top Navy/Military town injury lawyer when/if an accident occurs.

If you’re a military member who’s been in an accident or injured, or you know a military member who’s suffered an injury, you need the best legal advice possible. Someone suffering from TBI or any injury deserves proper representation, especially our brave men and women who serve and protect our country.

I wrote about the importance of top legal advice and representation for military members and their families. My firm – Shapiro, Cooper, Lewis, & Appleton – has represented numerous clients affiliated with the military suffering horrendous injuries. This experience is vital because compiling the necessary records and information to file a claim and develop a case for a client affiliated with the military is different from a civilian. It’s more challenging to obtain medical records and documents of that nature. The lawyer needs to understand the processes in order to expedite the retrieval of this essential information.

An example of our experience includes my colleague Emily Mapp Brannon representing a member of the Navy who suffered a serious eye injury by a drunken patron at a bar. Mrs. Brannon stated, “Many personal injury attorneys would not take a case like this…[but] I knew that my client would likely be disabled from the military in the future-at some time and would possibly lose his career/job as a result of the bar/nightclub's negligence and the violent acts of the drunken customer.”

Our attorneys care about the long-term health of our military men and women.

Another example, my colleague Jim Lewis also represented a member of the Navy when the serviceman suffered severe low back pain after being rear-end collision in a car accident.

Clearly, our firm possesses the requisite experience and legal expertise to represent military personnel and their families. These heroic individuals deserve the very best representation possible after enduring a serious injury.
