Our northern Virginia brain injury lawyers understand the importance of getting skilled, comprehensive medical treatment for your traumatic brain injury. It is crucial if you are to live a free, full life after your injury. Unfortunately, medicine is a business, and the profit motive is just as strong in a hospital as it is in a corporate boardroom. That’s why so many people come to our brain injury lawyers with tragic medical malpractice claims. Truly effective brain injury care, including post-operative rehabilitation programs, is not cheap. Medicare and Medicaid have strict guidelines regarding how much care patients receive. And hospitals are often reluctant to offer treatment beyond that which is covered by the government programs. Hospitals have limited beds, and they have an interest in diagnosing and discharging patients as quickly as possible. This means doctors might flat out miss your brain injury, or they might misdiagnose the type or severity of your brain injury. The end result of these mistakes is that you don’t receive the care you need. If this has happened to you, our northern Virginia brain injury lawyers can help you pursue the justice and compensation you need with a medical malpractice claim. If you’re a northern Virginia resident and you need a skilled brain injury lawyer, please contact Kalfus and Nachman Attorneys at Law today for a free consultation.

In Northern Virginia, we interact with veterans every day. We see soldiers, sailors and airmen from Norfolk Naval Base, Langley Air Force Base, the Hampton VA Hospital and our other military bases all the time. Sadly, that also means we see the effects of the traumatic brain injuries many of these brave men and women have suffered while deployed overseas. TBI’s effects linger for years, and most dangerously, past brain injuries make veterans more vulnerable to another injury in their day-to-day lives. Our experienced brain injury attorneys are proud to represent veterans who have suffered brain injuries in Northern Virginia as a result of someone else’s negligence or misconduct. Your medical history is incredibly important to your case. When you come to a free, no-obligation consultation to speak with our brain injury attorneys, bring all your past medical records, especially those dealing with any brain injuries you suffered while in the service. Many brain injuries are caused by auto accidents, of course, but our brain injury attorneys also see a number of medical malpractice cases in this area, particularly misdiagnoses. If you suffered a brain injury, explained your medical history to your doctor and still received an incorrect diagnosis that ignored the warning signs and didn’t properly diagnose a new brain injury, you have a right to pursue justice and compensation. If you live in the Roanoke, Virginia area and you’re looking for an experienced brain injury attorney, please contact Kalfus and Nachman Attorneys at Law today for a free consultation. We proudly help veterans in these difficult times.
Depending on the nature of the job in question, a wide variety of workplace injuries can occur. Workplace injuries are usually divided into two main categories: (1) those that are caused by a specific accident, and (2) occupational conditions that occur after continuous exposure to toxic substances, or long-term strain and stress on your body. Some examples of common workplace injuries include:
- Back injuries
- Lung damage
- Repetitive motion injuries (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis)
- Stress fractures
- Neck injuries
- Hand injuries
- Brain injuries
Any physical injuries sustained on-the-job are most likely covered under the workers’ compensation system – especially if your injury prevents you from adequately performing your job duties. If you have been injured at your workplace, or while performing your job in any other capacity, our experienced Newport News employment attorneys can help you file an accurate, effective claim for workers’ compensation benefits, and guide you throughout the process. Please contact Kalfus & Nachman today if you need help with your workers’ compensation claim. We represent clients throughout Norfolk, Newport News, and Roanoke, Virginia.
