North Hudson Lawyers Club Hosts Informative Evening on TBI and $250,000 Catastrophic Coverage Conversion

West New York, NJ — May 20, 2026 — The North Hudson Lawyers Club (N.H.L.C.) convened on the evening of May 19, 2026, at Meson Español in West New York, NJ, for an informative meeting featuring guest speaker Dr. Dariusz Nasiek, MD, triple board-certified physician and co-founder of Allied Neurology & Interventional Pain Practice (ANIPP). Dr. Nasiek was joined by Attorney and Judge Sandy Moscaritolo, Esq., who provided detailed legal guidance on the arbitration process for securing catastrophic injury coverage in traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases.

A Proven Medical-Legal Framework

After careful review and collaboration, Dr. Nasiek and Judge Moscaritolo have established an effective approach to securing $250,000 in medical treatment compensation for patients sustaining TBI with well-documented evidence of head trauma. Comprehensive documentation has proven to be the critical factor in achieving this outcome.

Judge Moscaritolo, who has mastered the arbitration process required to convert standard $15,000 PIP coverage to the $250,000 catastrophic injury benefit, now lends his legal expertise directly to Dr. Nasiek’s practice.

Key Points

Brain injury is confirmed through objective testing — abnormal EEG, Video EEG, MRI findings, and cognitive function evaluation establish structural damage and significant cognitive deficits.

$250,000 coverage ensures uninterrupted care — protecting the insured from financial hardship and treatment gaps.

ANIPP provides full documentation — supplying all necessary medical records and diagnostic reports to support the conversion and ensure proper reimbursement.

Approving this conversion is the right decision — for the insured and in fulfillment of the insurer’s good-faith obligations.

A Call to Referring Attorneys

Dr. Nasiek emphasized that TBI remains significantly underdiagnosed in accident victims and invited N.H.L.C. members to refer any suspected TBI patient to ANIPP for thorough evaluation and comprehensive documentation. Electrodiagnostic studies — including EEG, Video EEG, and EMG — are performed in-house by board-certified neurologist Dr. Rikki Racela, MD, who specializes in TBI diagnosis, post-traumatic injuries, and comprehensive neurological evaluations.
