Every year an estimated 1.5 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Centers for Disease Control estimates that approximately 2% of the U.S. population is living with some degree of disability due to a TBI. TBIs can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe. A concussion is the same thing as a mild traumatic brain injury. However, just because a traumatic brain injury is classified as mild, that does not mean that everyone fully recovers from it. Many injured victims go on to suffer life-long cognitive deficits from a mild traumatic brain injury.
There are many symptoms of a traumatic brain injury, including headaches, memory loss, loss of consciousness, dizziness, irritability, mood swings, loss of smell, and more. Not every patient suffers from every symptom. While most mild traumatic brain injuries resolve within 3 months, an increasing body of medical literature has demonstrated that up to 50% of victims of mild traumatic brain injury continue to suffer symptoms and/or cognitive problems a year following the incident.
Diagnosing and treating mTBI is extremely challenging. Proving it in a court of law is even more challenging. Our experienced TBI attorneys can help you or your loved one receive the correct treatments and prove your case to a jury. Our team has produced verdicts and settlements in TBI cases totaling over $50,000,000 in the last 7 years alone. Let us help you get the diagnosis and care you need to recover all of the amounts you are entitled to from this devastating injury! Call us at 1-800-THE-FIRM today!

Every year, over one million people suffer burns so severe that they require medical attention. Many of these burns result in permanent, debilitating conditions. Others may not survive their burn injuries, leaving behind their families to grieve an unexpected and sudden loss of a loved one.
An abundance of burn injuries is the result of avoidable accidents. Types of burns include first-degree, second-degree, third-degree, thermal, chemical, radiation, and electrical. If you have suffered a brain injury due to another’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. The money you are awarded can help make up for lost wages, pay for medical bills, and compensate for your pain and suffering.
The experienced burn injury lawyers at #TheCochranFirm can help you fight for the compensation that you deserve. For years, The Cochran Firm has been one of the fiercest advocates for accident victims across the country. Call us today at 1-800-The-Firm to get in touch with an attorney in your area!

Placing an elderly loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility can be a heart-wrenching decision. Millions of families each year have to consider placing a parent or grandparent in a facility equipped to meet their medical and day-to-day living needs. We would like to think that the people with whom we entrust their care will provide the same standard of care we gave, but, sadly, that is often not the case.
In fact, instances of nursing home abuse and neglect are becoming an epidemic in the United States. An estimated 2.1 million seniors are the victims of some form of abuse. While physical abuse is the most prevalent type of elder abuse, senior citizens are also suffering from emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. If your elderly loved one has suffered abuse or neglect at the hands of their caretaker, you may have a valid legal claim. The Cochran Firm is ready to take on your case! Call us today at 1-800-The-Firm to schedule a free, no-obligation, and confidential consultation.

A toxic tort is a specific type of personal injury or property damage case that occurs as a result of exposure to toxic materials such as chemicals, pesticides, toxins, or pharmaceuticals. The most common toxic tort cases involve those in which the plaintiff claims to have been exposed to toxic chemicals as a direct result of their occupation or the location of their residence.
Occupational toxic tort cases occur more often than any other tort case, simply due to the fact that industrial workers are more likely to suffer from long-term exposure to toxic chemicals than consumers or residents. Some common chemicals that have resulted in toxic tort cases include arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, benzene, manganese, silica, pesticides, asbestos, and lead. Exposure to these chemicals can result in diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, leukemia, and lung disease, among other cancers, and even death. Environmental or toxic tort law cases are very serious, difficult personal injury or property damage cases. Most toxic tort claims involve large corporations and can seem daunting and extremely difficult to prosecute. The experienced personal injury attorneys at The Cochran Firm, however, can help you every step of the way to ensure you receive any compensation you may be entitled to.
If you have been injured due to exposure to toxic materials, please contact the experienced environmental and toxic tort attorneys at #TheCochranFirm by calling 1-800-The-Firm today!

At the early age of eleven, Johnnie Cochran made the decision that he wanted to one day become a lawyer. Taking his inspiration from Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, he went on to graduate from Loyola Law School and became the first African American law clerk in the office of the Los Angeles city attorney.

Melvin ‘Mel’ Brooks is a Managing Partner at The Cochran Firm Chicago, where he represents clients in wrongful death and serious personal injury matters. In addition to handling complex legal matters, he also serves as the Board Chair of Habilitative Systems Inc., a nationally-recognized human services agency that provides programs to underserved populations and those who live with health and human service needs. Mel was recently recognized in HSI’s Newsletter.
“[Brooks] has been involved with HSI for well over a decade. As one of the most prominent plaintiffs’ personal injury attorneys in Chicago and managing partner of the Johnny Cochran firm’s Chicago office, he represents victims in wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases. His leadership and reputation in Chicago mean he could be associated with any not-for-profit he chooses. He chose HSI. He first came to know HSI when he was invited to visit its campus by Donald Dew. ‘I got to see up close the headquarters, residential centers, and senior centers,’ Brooks said. ‘I watched a skillset program being run for persons with developmental disabilities and it just inspired me. I wanted to be involved at that moment.’”
“As Board Chair, he sees as his most important responsibility making sure the board has a direct line with the agency’s management team and that it is assured the organization is living up to its highest standards. He also pays close attention to the need to recruit fresh volunteer talent to the Board. ‘New board members always bring new ideas and new energy. As Board Chair, I’m always on the lookout for people who want to put their professional skills to work in making a difference for our community.’ Above all, Brooks relishes being a role model for the younger generations coming up.”
