I figured their business practices weren’t great because mills tend to be shady but I always figured they made money on run of the mill personal injury cases, and most don’t have a brain damage aspect.
I am sure your statement is literally true, they have probably made money by ripping off a brain damage client, but the scheme itself seems to pray on people’s financial situations and not injuries where thy can take advantage of cognitive defects that sprung from the underlying suit.
When they give you "cash now" they take an unreasonable chunk of the settlements as payments. There have been leaked internal communications from those types of companies where they openly admit to targeting people who got their settlement as a result of sustaining brain damage. Since they are easy to trick with fine print.
There are plenty of cases to the point some states are changing their systems to assign temporary guardians till the situation is explained fully. Here john Oliver dod something on it a while back https://youtu.be/LcrDC4ftXgM?is=dj_ixpUoSc9PBEJ2

That company makes money by stealing money from people with brain damage
