The brain is the most complex organ in the human body and one of the most delicate. Because of that, any head injury, even a concussion, can result in permanent brain damage.

At Lafferty, Gallagher & Scott, LLC, we have been helping brain injury victims in Toledo and throughout Ohio since 1973.

As lawyers, we take on brain injury cases because we know how to handle them — not to collect referral fees from other attorneys, or for that matter, to settle cases quickly at our clients’ expense. We do the work, using whatever resources we can — including health care professionals, sophisticated medical exhibits, and Life Care planning experts — to convey not only what happened and how it has impacted our clients and the lives of the people around them, but to convey it convincingly and to get our clients the help they deserve.
If you or someone you love needs that kind of help, call our Toledo, Ohio law offices or contact us online for a free consultation. Our lawyers handle brain injury claims on a contingent fee basis — you will pay no attorney fees unless we obtain a verdict or settlement in your case.
