Mexico, MO calls Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer when they need a brain injury lawyer
Seniors are more vulnerable to slips and falls than any other age group, thus more likely to suffer a traumatic brain injury. Men are more likely to participate in high-risk activities or work in an industry with a higher risk of injury. Men’s closer proximity to dangerous activities results in a higher percentage of traumatic brain injuries. Traumatic brain injuries in children are often the result of falls or blunt force due to their lack of motor skills and inability to accurately assess risky behaviors.
Children are also at a greater risk of showing the long-term effects of a traumatic brain injury. A head injury can disrupt a child’s brain development and limit their ability to participate in activities like school, sports, and social activities. A traumatic brain injury should be treated with care. The traumatic brain injury attorneys at Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer will help your family earn the compensation they need to cover the cost of treatment and long-term care.

- Headaches
- Lightheadedness
- Confusion
- Blurred vision
- Light and sound sensitivity 
- Nausea or vomiting
- A lack of balance

Car Accidents
The negligent actions of drivers are the most frequent cause of personal injury. We have handled countless car accident cases and know what it takes to secure full compensation for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
A motorcyclist is no match for a car or truck in a traffic collision. There are often serious injuries and large medical bills. Only an experienced attorney can ensure complete compensation for an injured motorcyclist.
Truck Accidents
Semis and tractor-trailers have the ability to do serious damage when they are involved in an accident. We are experienced with truck accidents caused by overloaded trucks and truck driver fatigue.

Our attorneys understand how boating accidents occur and how to pursue a successful legal claim against negligent operators when they do.

A property owner may be responsible if a guest or customer is injured due to their negligence. Slip-and-falls and dog bites are common causes of injuries in premises liability cases. We understand how these cases are handled in Missouri.

A construction site can be a hazardous location for employees and other individuals. A site that is improperly maintained or where dangers are unprotected can result in serious injuries. Our attorneys are skilled in identifying how negligence causes construction accidents.
Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
The frequency of abuse or neglect of the residents of nursing homes is astounding. Learning a loved one is a victim often leads to feelings of guilt and shame, but the nursing home is to blame.
