How A Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help
Experiencing a TBI is likely a life-changing event that will require ongoing adjustments to your day-to-day activities. A qualified brain injury lawyer can help you file a lawsuit to collect compensation for your injury, as you continue to deal with ongoing therapy and treatment.
Compensation For Brain Injury Medical Costs
The goal of a brain injury lawsuit is to collect damages, or monetary compensation, to help cover the costs associated with your injury. A TBI is often a very costly injury that not only includes economic losses, but non-economic losses like pain and suffering and emotional distress.
A qualified lawyer can help you recover compensation to pay for:
Decades of legal expertise, at your fingertips.
hospital stays
medical procedures, medications, and surgeries
future rehabilitation
lost wages or benefits
issues related to disabilities
general pain and suffering
caretaking expenses
past and future emotional distress
Proving Negligence.
To prove negligence, a claim requires that the victim of the injury, or plaintiff in a lawsuit, shows that the party they’re filing the lawsuit against is at fault or legally responsible for the brain injury.
To win a brain injury lawsuit, a plaintiff’s lawyer must prove four elements:
• under law, the defendant owed a duty to the victim
• the defendant breached its duty
• the defendant’s failure of its duty caused the plaintiff’s brain injury
• the plaintiff was injured and suffered damages as defined by law
It can be difficult to link someone’s negligence to a brain injury. Brain injuries are complicated, so any documents or evidence collected by the victim are crucial for your claim.
