A traumatic brain injury is a disruption of brain function caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head or a jolt that shakes the brain inside the skull. Symptoms vary and may include headaches, confusion, memory problems, dizziness, or changes in mood and behavior. In some cases, symptoms appear immediately, while others emerge days or weeks later.
To prove a TBI in a claim, medical records, imaging results (such as CT or MRI), and evidence linking the incident to your injuries are essential. Liability must be shown, and damages should reflect current medical costs and future care needs. A cautious, well-documented approach strengthens your case.
Case duration varies with injury complexity, medical recovery, and settlement negotiations. Some matters resolve in a few months, while others may take longer if multiple parties or lengthy medical care is involved. Our team keeps you informed about timelines.
Damages can include medical bills, rehabilitation, therapy, assistive devices, lost wages, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Long-term care costs and future treatment needs are also considered in evaluating value.
Yes. A lawyer can help assess the claim, identify liable parties, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and guide you through settlement or trial. This support can reduce stress and help you pursue fair compensation.
Bring accident reports, medical records, bills, insurance information, and a list of symptoms and treatments. Also note contact information for healthcare providers and any questions you want to ask during the consult.
Many TBI cases settle before trial, but some require courtroom resolution. Our goal is to secure fair compensation efficiently, while preparing to proceed to trial if necessary.
Contingency fees are typically a percentage of the recovery and are paid only if you win or reach a settlement. No upfront payment is required in many cases. If there is no recovery, there is usually no fee.
An attorney can guide you through the claim, assist with evidence gathering, and handle negotiations. You will still participate in decisions, but with informed support at every step.
If the other party denies responsibility, you can still pursue compensation through evidence of fault, medical documentation, and proper insurance channels. A solid plan and thorough records support your claim.
