Bringing Visibility to Invisible Injuries

…I’ve spoken for decades about the need for greater awareness of invisible injuries, especially TBI, which affects more than 2 million people per year in this country. This year, through our support of marathon bombing victims, we’ve been more vocal than ever in our support of this community. Moreover, we are proud that all of our work for marathon survivors has been offered pro bono by MBA volunteer attorneys.

We’ve come a long way to improve the image of lawyers this year, and this is a a struggle we must keep fighting. But I believe what has happened in relation to TBI victims is more than just a misunderstanding of our role; this is indicative of the greater lack of empathy for the severity of TBI injuries.
