Michael Budner obtained a $12M settlement for a man who suffered a TBI.

Brain injuries are complex, costly to treat, and often require lifelong care. Results like this help ensure victims and their families have access to the medical care, support, and financial security they need to move forward.

When a brain injury occurs, our lawyers work tenaciously to help clients obtain all of the compensation to which they are entitled, including damages for pain and suffering, emotional trauma, medical costs, lost income, and future earnings.
