A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force injures the brain, which can lead to cognitive, physical, and emotional changes. In legal terms, a TBI claim seeks compensation for medical care, rehabilitation, and related costs.
Key elements include establishing fault, documenting injuries with medical records, projecting future care costs, and pursuing damages through settlement or litigation. The process typically involves investigation, demand letters, negotiation, and, if needed, a trial.

Liability means legal responsibility for the incident that caused the brain injury. Proving liability is essential to recovery.
