Brain Injury Lawyers Network

Dealing with a brain injury can be one of the most trying events in your life. The private “hell” of a traumatic brain injury victim is a direct result of the conscious and/or unconscious awareness on the part of the victim regarding their current situation. In progressed stages, after diagnosis, the victim may be the only person who is unable to diagnose, acknowledge or reconcile themselves with the state of their injury. Because of this, contacting a New Jersey brain injury lawyer can mean the difference between a trying case which drains your time and money and a successful case. Not only is a New Jersey brain injury lawyer going to help with your case, but Representative Jim Greenwood, as a response to commentary from the Interagency Heady Injury Task Force, presented the first version of the revamped TBI Act during the 103rd Congress. Later on, Henry Waxman joined him as the lead co-sponsor in the House. Similarly, Senators Edward M. Kennedy and Orrin G. Hatch presented similar bills in the Senate. During the 104th Congress, on July 29, 1996, the legislation was re-presented and was finally signed into law as PL10-166. The new legislation meant that CDC was given the right to surveillance for any instances or causes of TBI.
