It is important that you hire a firm with significant financial resources after you or a loved one have suffered a serious head injury. Such cases can be highly disputed and may require significant financial resources to prosecute. These resources can include fees for medical experts, vocational specialists, and economists.

If you hire a smaller firm which lacks substantial financial backing then you run the risk of your case going forward without such experts.
