Defusing GCS in a Mild TBI Case
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">“GCS is not looking at long-term outcomes. It’s looking at that little slice in time right after the injury happened in the acute phase.” – Tom Crosley</p> </blockquote> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome to Winning The TBI Case, hosted by trial lawyer Tom Crosley.

Tom reveals how defense attorneys take one number from acute medical records and use it to undermine entire cases. He explains the historical context of GCS which was created in 1974 as a bedside tool designed for neurosurgeons to assess coma depth and decide on emergency surgery, not to predict long-term outcomes. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">GCS measures three basic functions:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Eye opening</li> <li>Verbal response</li> <li>Motor commands</li> </ul> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">All tests that any elementary school student or family dog could pass. Tom provides the analogies and cross-examination techniques to expose how this acute triage tool has zero relevance to how patients function years later in life. By understanding what GCS actually measures (and what it doesn’t), you have the power to educate juries and neutralize one of the defense’s favorite, and often misleading, arguments. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Connect</h3> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Subscribe to Winning The TBI Case on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/winning-the-tbi-case/id1828755874" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7JLvDBMdmv9fKkY87dowmk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/pvVFqODzy-k?si=smfWowvI5Dcrk-c0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a> or wherever you get your podcasts. </li> <li>Follow on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CrosleyLaw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/crosley-law-firm-p-c-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn</a>, and Instagram</li> <li>And remember, don’t just listen to the strategies, implement them!</li> </ul> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>
