Harm Caused by a TBI
The difficulties that can be caused by a traumatic brain injury are often unpredictable. How one person’s brain reacts to damage can be much different than the next case despite nearly identical injuries. What is common among all TBI cases, though, is that the consequences are often severe and permanent since brain injuries do not heal as other injured body parts do.
People living with a brain injury may experience:
- Memory loss
- Mood swings
- Chronic migraines
- Dizzy spells
- Vision and hearing loss
- Speech impediments
Severe brain injuries can also cause complete debilitation, leaving the survivor entirely dependent on others for day-to-day care.
In a personal injury claim, brain injury cases are often complicated because they do not show up on diagnostic images and are not always taken seriously. Symptoms can be very real to the victim but cannot be confirmed by scans or medical tests available. As a result, the insurance company may claim the TBI symptoms are fake or exaggerated.
Litigation after a Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury cases are difficult cases. They are harder to settle or bring to trial because the testing for closed brain injuries is inadequate and hard to diagnose. These are not the type of case that an attorney can learn as they go.
You Deserve Maximized Damages
Taking care of yourself after suffering a brain injury can be a significant challenge. Daily tasks you used to do with ease may become exhausting or impossible. Finding and holding gainful employment can also be a thing of the past due to your disabilities and mental health difficulties related to your TBI. When calculating the damages that you deserve, all of these factors and more must be considered.
When working on Your TBI Claim, We May Be Able to Secure Damages For:
- All medical treatment costs, including future care
- Lost wages or lessened income capacity
- Pain, suffering, and mental health difficulties
- Reduced life expectancy
You should not be the one who suffers the financial consequences of a TBI when you did not cause the injury through any fault of your own. The liability should be placed on the party that hurt you. This is where our Kingston traumatic brain injury attorneys can step in and take over your claim for you. We know the ins and outs of difficult casework and high-stakes litigation. While acting on your behalf, we can pursue maximized compensation for you while you do your best to rest.
