Each year, millions of Americans, including some children, suffer non-penetrating, or closed, head injuries. When lawsuits result, they involve complex medical, academic, and legal issues. When the plaintiff is a child, the defense attorney faces numerous additional challenges in defending the matter. Certain discovery tools are necessary to simplify and defend the pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) lawsuit. These tools, although also used in traditional personal injury cases, take on added significance because of the age of the plaintiff and the nature of the injury.

The pediatric plaintiff must be treated by counsel as a complex individual whose development is shaped by these factors.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly."
