Our Indianapolis Brain Injury Lawyers are Prepared to Explain MMPI and MRI Test Results

Indianapolis brain injury attorney Tom Doehrman talks about the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) personality test, MRI scans and their applications in a brain injury lawsuit. The MMPI was developed to test psychiatric problems, but there is no scale on this test for a brain-injured person. Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims do not have a “norm” for this test, defense attorneys representing the person or corporation that caused the brain injury may try to use MMPI results to show that the victim is exaggerating brain injury symptoms. The MMPI is an imperfect test, and the victim’s attorney must make sure to ask the defense the right questions to break down the MMPI results.

The victim’s attorney must also be able to explain MRI scan results; brain injury does not always appear in an MRI scan. The Indianapolis brain injury lawyers at Doehrman Chamberlain understand the medical diagnoses behind traumatic brain injury and know how to explain test results to a judge and jury.
