Where to find representation for a hit-and-run TBI case involving psychological damages and executive-level income loss?
Asked in New York, NY on February 17, 2026 Last answered on July 29, 2026I was struck last June by a taxi while walking as a pedestrian in a NYC hit-and-run, losing consciousness for approximately three hours. A police report and eyewitness confirm the incident. I was treated at the ER and diagnosed with a concussion/TBI. I subsequently developed severe anxiety and cognitive impairment that directly caused professional errors while in a VP/SVP-level executive role, leading to my resignation and loss of a subsequent executive position. I am seeking representation for a TBI case involving psychological damages and executive-level income loss.

Based on the facts you've described, this appears to be a matter that should be evaluated by an experienced New York personal injury attorney who regularly handles traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases. Cases involving cognitive impairment, psychological injuries, and substantial lost earning capacity, particularly for executives or other high-income professionals, often require extensive medical, neuropsychological, vocational, and economic evidence.
There are a number of important issues that an attorney would want to evaluate, including whether the hit-and-run vehicle has been identified, what insurance coverage is available (including any uninsured motorist coverage that may apply through your own automobile policy or a household family member's policy), and how your medical records and employment history support your claim for lost income and future earning capacity. Depending on your circumstances, other insurance policies, such as umbrella coverage, Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance, and homeowners insurance may also warrant review.
Because you lost consciousness, were diagnosed with a concussion/TBI, and are alleging ongoing cognitive and psychological impairments that affected your executive career, it is important to retain counsel with substantial experience litigating brain injury cases.
Time is also important. New York imposes strict statutes of limitation, and insurance policies may contain notice requirements that should not be overlooked. I recommend consulting with a qualified New York TBI attorney as soon as possible so your rights can be fully evaluated and preserved.
Resources such as Super Lawyers and online research can be a good starting point, but you should also look for attorneys who have a proven track record handling complex brain injury litigation involving significant economic loss. Most reputable personal injury firms offer free consultations, allowing you to discuss the facts of your case before deciding whom to retain.
