“I said, this is really interesting stuff. It’s not just broken bones or a sprain of a neck. This is something really, really fundamentally interesting, and it would require a lot of hard work, which I was prepared to do as a young lawyer.” – Stewart Casper

Welcome to Winning The TBI Case hosted by trial lawyer Tom Crosley. Listen each week as Tom provides practical, powerful guidance for litigating traumatic brain injury cases. This podcast is meant for litigation attorneys who are ready to explore the essentials of TBI cases to confidently represent clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.

Mastering the Science

Stewart Casper has spent over 40 years becoming one of the most respected names in traumatic brain injury litigation. His reputation isn’t built on victories alone, it’s built on an unparalleled commitment to mastering the evolving science of brain injury. For two decades, Stewart has systematically read, curated, and indexed every significant piece of TBI research, creating a resource he generously shares with trial lawyers nationwide.

In this episode, Tom sits down with Stewart to explore the insights that have shaped his legendary career. We start with where it all began when Stewart attended a brain injury conference in 1980 where he heard the term “diffuse axonal injury” for the first time. We then fast-forward to 2014 when he discovered neurometabolic cascade research that fundamentally changed how TBI litigators counter defense experts. Stewart’s career, spanning from that first brain injury conference to today’s cutting edge science, reveals what it takes to truly master TBI science in this ever-evolving and complex field.
