FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What if I can’t afford an attorney?
You can still hire Johnston Law Firm. Our Portland brain injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront legal fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you. In many situations, our clients receive more compensation than the insurance company initially offered before they had legal representation.
-
How do I know if I need a lawyer?
If you or a loved one suffered a head injury due to someone else’s negligence, such as in a vehicle crash, fall, or workplace accident, you may have a legal claim. Brain injuries can have long-term effects that are not immediately obvious. Contact our office for a free consultation so we can review what happened and explain your legal options.

About Johnston Law Firm
Brain injury results from a number of circumstances. The severity of the initial trauma to the head might not reflect the actual damage done to the brain. If you or a loved one has experienced any sort of head trauma followed by dizziness, a headache, confusion, memory loss, weakness, fatigue, loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting or vision abnormalities, immediate medical care should be sought. Closed head injuries can be difficult to detect. If you notice any symptoms or suspect any sort of damage, medical professionals should evaluate your condition right away.
At Johnston Law Firm, P.C., in Portland, we handle cases for clients who have experienced traumatic head injury or closed head injury as the result of someone else’s negligence or wrongful act. Following appropriate medical treatment, consulting with an experienced lawyer will help you understand your legal rights relating to the accident and options you may have to pursue compensation for injury, medical costs and other impacts on your life, including:
- Previous and future medical expenses
- In-home care/family member care costs
- Living expenses
- Lost wages/future earnings
- Pain and suffering
Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation. Oregon head injury lawyer Marc A. Johnston will discuss your case and the difficult situation your injury has put you in at work and in your personal life. We can help you avoid common personal injury mistakes and ensure that your injury does not go undiagnosed or untreated.

Brain Injury
FAQS
Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may appear immediately or develop over time. Some warning signs to watch for include:
- Persistent headaches
- Confusion or memory problems
- Difficulty concentrating
- Nausea or dizziness
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Changes in mood or behavior
If you experience any of these symptoms after a head injury, seek medical attention right away and document your condition.
Brain injuries can occur in many different types of accidents, particularly those involving sudden impacts or violent motion of the head. Some of the most common causes include:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle collisions
- Slip and fall accidents
- Workplace accidents, especially construction incidents
- Sports and recreational injuries
In many cases, these incidents are preventable and may result from another party’s negligence.
The timeline for a brain injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of the injury, the amount of medical evidence involved, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some cases may resolve through negotiations within several months, while more complex claims can take longer. A lawyer can help manage the process and pursue fair compensation while your medical condition becomes clearer.
Yes. Even a mild concussion can sometimes cause lasting complications, especially if the injury is not diagnosed or treated properly. Some individuals develop post-concussion syndrome, which can involve ongoing headaches, memory issues, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating. Because symptoms may worsen over time, it is important to seek medical care early and consult with an attorney if the injury resulted from someone else’s negligence.
A brain injury can make it difficult, or even impossible, to return to the same job or career you had before the accident. In these cases, compensation may include lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and the cost of vocational rehabilitation. An attorney may work with financial and medical experts to estimate how your injury will impact your long-term ability to earn income.
