NJ Juries Recognize the Severe Impact of a Traumatic Brain Injury
A recent Hunterdon County jury verdict sends a powerful message: even when an injured person appears to have made a strong recovery, New Jersey juries understand that a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have permanent, life-altering consequences. On November 21, 2025, a jury awarded $15,500,000 to 30-year-old electrician’s helper Kyle Lauck, who suffered a TBI after he was struck by flying metal debris at a construction site.
While Lauck has worked hard to rebuild his life; getting married, continuing full-time work, and becoming a father; the jury recognized that hidden cognitive impairments can persist long after the outward signs of injury have healed.
