Compassionate and competent representation is essential for TBI successful defense.

Attorney Robert Luce is recognized in Vermont as a leading voice on traumatic brain injury, in the medical and advocacy communities as well as in the legal community. Assisted by paralegal Louise Reese, Bob’s trial practice has concentrated on head injury, brain injury, concussion, and spinal cord injury claims for over 20 years.

Bob was one of the founding board members of the Brain Injury Association of Vermont and currently serves as chair. Recognizing that what many brain injury and concussion victims and their families want most is information, Bob maintains the Traumatic Brain Injury blog where he provides important background information and frequent updates on the remarkable work being done every day to improve our ability to diagnose brain injury, to treat concussion and brain injury, to prevent head injury, and to obtain compensation for brain injury caused by accidents or negligence.

In 1998 Bob recovered the first “mild” traumatic brain injury jury verdict of over $1,000,000 dollars and has since obtained many similar recoveries.

Legal ingenuity and neuro-thought leadership.

Bob is often called a “neurolawyer,” because his practice requires that he be knowledgeable about the biomechanics of neurotrauma, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neuropsychology, and the special needs that accompany concussion, brain injury, head injury, and spinal cord injury.

Bob strongly believes that victims of TBI, concussion, and spinal cord injury deserve ongoing and continuous support from their legal team with the full range of issues they face, including information concerning treatment options, assistance with health insurance issues, and aggressive and creative advocacy to recover the funds needed to maximize rehabilitation and compensate for residual disabilities.

The most frequent feedback we receive from clients is “I wish we had found you sooner.” If you or a loved one have suffered a head injury or brain injury, you owe it to yourself to contact Bob Luce to explore the merits of your claim.
