About Brain Injury Lawyers:
 
The People Behind Brain Injury Law 

Our Founder - Constance Miller, MA. Psychology

  • When bad things happen to Constance Miller of Seattle, Washington, she blazes a trail through them and then pulls others along behind her. 
  • As a career advocate of human rights and accessible health care, Miller has solved her own health problems and helped thousands of others who share the same predicament. 
  • When a Dalkon Shield caused her illness and injury, Miller became one of the nation's foremost experts on the Shield and its effects on women's health. 
  • Miller’s work on behalf of Shield-injured women has been featured in national magazines such as Ms., Essence, and Woman's World. 
  • Miller has assisted thousands of women to recover millions of dollars in compensation for their Dalkon Shield injuries. 
  • She staffed a non-profit help line that assisted injured individuals. 
  • In 1982, a car accident left her with a "moderate" brain injury; there was no visible wound, but she was experiencing pain, memory loss, disorientation, visual, sleep and mood disorders. 
  • Most physicians told people who were having such symptoms after accidents that they were imagining them. 
  • Upon receiving such a diagnosis from her doctor; Miller went into research mode and uncovered the secrets of the changes she recognized in herself. 
  • She applied what she learned from her brain injury research and her activism to selecting her doctors and lawyers. 
  • Such deliberate and pragmatic partnering led to effective, client-centered rehabilitation program and a gratifying resolution for her injury claim.


        Most recently she has assisted in the development of diagnostic and treatment guidelines on Concussion in Sports; for the  America Academy of Neurology. 

        Additionally she helped the National Institutes of Health to draft its TBI Rehab Consensus Conference Statement; and acted as a consultant to the Federal Interagency Conference on TBI 2000.
