Every head trauma injury is serious. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) vary in severity, but all need careful diagnosis and care. Our law firm has represented head injury victims from those who have some malfunctions to others who have to start life all over.
- Global brain injury: Every part of our client's brain suffered damage after a car accident. She was in a coma for six weeks. Formerly a bright student, she had to start over learning functions she had taken for granted. She will never work or even prepare a meal for herself. Her insurance settlement needed to cover a lifetime of care.
- Serious concussion: Our client's car was T-boned at highway speeds. Memory, reasoning, anger management and an ability to function in a normal life were suddenly gone. Our law firm prepared a case for a substantial settlement.
- Investigating brain injury: When we have a client who has suffered a brain injury, we enlist experts including a neuropsychologist to determine the extent of the injury, economic experts to determine lost income and opportunity, medical experts to determine future medical costs, and vocational rehabilitation experts. They consider whether the patient will improve and to what degree. These are questions our personal injury attorneys will ask experts to answer.
- A lifetime of care: For many victims of brain trauma, work and relationships completely change. The victim may need a guardian to control finances and daily living decisions. All of these needs should be factored into a settlement.
