Notable Experience
Ms. Self concentrates her practice on brain injury and psychological injury claims. Most, but not all, grow out of traffic accidents involving tractor trailer or commercial buses. Because many brain injury and psychological injury claims present with concurrent physical injuries, she has an extensive background defending purely physical injuries as well. She has also developed an expertise in claims of premises liability for violent crimes
