Brain Injury Lawyer in Palm Beach County – Hicks & Motto
Brain injuries can have devastating and long-lasting effects on victims and their families. At Hicks & Motto, we have years of experience helping clients who have suffered permanent disabilities due to head trauma and toxic chemical exposure. These injuries often lead to severe emotional, physical, and financial hardships.
Compounding the frustration and loss from these injuries, families must cope with supporting a loved one whose personality, mentality, and intellect may never be the same. The consequences are often compounded by lost wages, mounting medical bills, and the overwhelming feeling of permanent loss.

Our attorneys are ready to zealously represent brain-injured clients, whether the injury is mild, moderate, or severe, to obtain the maximum compensation.Common Causes of Brain Injuries
