Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free and confidential consultations to determine if I have a case?
Yes. We offer free, confidential consultations. We’ll review the facts, discuss medical records, and explain your legal options at no cost or obligation.

What are the various types of concussions?
Concussions are typically classified as mild, moderate, or severe depending on symptoms, loss of consciousness, and recovery time. Even a mild concussion can still be significant and life-altering, leading to headaches, memory loss, mood changes, and cognitive difficulties.

Why is a brain injury different from other injuries?
Brain injuries affect not only physical health but also cognition, memory, personality, and behavior. The DSM is often used to classify the psychological and behavioral impacts, making these cases medically and legally complex.

Would I benefit from hiring a lawyer for a brain injury case?
Yes. Brain injury cases require attorneys who understand both the medical science and the law. We partner with top medical experts, economists, and life-care planners to build the strongest case possible.

How much does it cost to hire Ciano & Goldwasser?
With our No Fee Guarantee, you pay nothing unless we obtain a recovery for you.

How long will my brain injury case take?
Brain injury cases can take longer due to their complexity and the need for long-term medical evaluation. We pursue efficient resolutions but prepare every case as though it will go to trial.
