A traumatic brain injury refers to a non-fatal injury to the brain resulting from an impact, jolt, or penetrating injury. Legally, it may be described as a loss or impairment of cognitive or physical function caused by someone else’s negligence.
A successful TBI claim typically requires proving fault, causation, and damages, followed by evidence gathering, settlement negotiations, and, if needed, litigation to secure compensation.
