In November 2020, the lives of an entire family were irreversibly changed when an 18-wheeler violently rear-ended a passenger vehicle on I-95. A devoted husband and stepfather, Michael (name changed to protect his identity), was driving his stepdaughter and 18-month-old grandson when the truck crash triggered a devastating chain reaction that left him with life-altering injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. Once the breadwinner, Michael, was left with an area of encephalomalacia that shattered his independence and his family’s sense of normalcy.
The family turned to Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers for help. Led by attorneys Mark Joye and Melissa Mosier, and supported by a dedicated legal team, we launched a nearly four-year legal battle to hold the trucking company accountable. Our investigation uncovered disturbing safety failures and corporate negligence. Through tireless advocacy, meticulous case building, and genuine compassion, attorneys Joye and Mosier secured a life-changing settlement of $6.25 million that will provide Michael with the lifelong care he needs.
Stories like Michael’s are why we do what we do. Read the full case study here.

Building a Strong Traumatic Brain Injury Claim
A successful brain injury claim begins with strong documentation. Your attorney will need to show how the injury occurred, who was at fault, and how the injury has impacted your life. At Joye Law Firm, our attorneys collaborate with medical professionals and investigators to gather the evidence necessary to establish liability.
Key pieces of evidence include:
- Medical records
- Imaging results
- Accident reports
- Witness statements
In addition to undertaking a thorough investigation into how your accident occurred, your traumatic brain injury lawyer will calculate how much compensation you should receive as a result. This figure will include financial losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and future earnings, as well as non-economic damages, including pain, emotional suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. At Joye Law Firm, our attorneys meet weekly as a team to collaborate on cases, discussing strategy, sharing insights, and evaluating potential case value. Together, we develop a plan to pursue the best possible outcome for each of our clients.
Each case is unique, and our legal team at Joye Law Firm approaches every client with care and personal attention.
