Supporting You After a Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries are nothing to take lightly. Thousands of people die each year from brain injuries, and even more are hospitalized or disabled. Even a minor brain injury can lead to significant medical bills.

If you or a family member are dealing with a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, you don’t need to handle it alone. Brain injuries can rob you of your ability to speak and walk normally, making it impossible to advocate on your behalf. The traumatic brain injury lawyers at Tolbert Beadle are here to bridge the gap between you and the insurance company, making it easier to get the resolution you deserve.

Our attorneys have over 40 years of experience representing those with traumatic brain injuries and their families in Springfield, Columbia, Jefferson City, and more throughout Missouri and Arkansas.

"Each year, about 2.5 million individuals have TBIs, of which approximately

50,000 result in death,

and over 80,000 suffer permanent disability."
