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.
