TBI claims are necessary to help the victims rebuild their lives within their new normal. This requires fighting for fair compensation and holding the individuals responsible for the injury accountable. Working with the right traumatic brain injury lawyer is crucial to receiving maximum compensation for your case.

The Severity Of TBI

Brain injuries are more common than most people realize. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) contribute to 30% of all injury deaths. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one possible outcome when an individual suffers blunt force trauma to their skull. About 153 people in the U.S. die from TBI-related injuries every day. Those who do not die from TBIs can suffer permanent damage, such as:

Memory problems
Loss of movement and sensation
Cognitive difficulties
Emotional effects such as depression

The results of TBIs are tragic and affect not only the victim but everyone close to them. Due to the severe nature of these incidents, the individuals involved need to work with an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer with expertise in this area and additional resources to help navigate your case’s complexities and negotiate with insurance companies to obtain the desired results.

Collecting Evidence to Support Your Claim

In a traumatic brain injury (TBI) case, it falls upon the plaintiff to establish that the defendant acted negligently, failing to exercise reasonable care, and to demonstrate how the defendant’s actions led to the injury. In these instances, our team at Rodriguez & Associates conducts thorough private investigations into various forms of negligence, collaborating with expert witnesses to support diagnosis and treatment. Our firm is privileged to have a network of skilled experts available to evaluate your claim and estimate future costs.

Ensuring Legal Requirements Are Met

There are several legal requirements and expectations to consider in TBI cases. Meeting with an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer as soon as possible is imperative to ensure that your claim aligns with the state’s statute of limitations.

Due to the serious nature of TBI, if the victim suffers severe cognitive impairment, family and loved ones must consider the possibility of a conservatorship, to determine if the TBI victim cannot take care of their basic needs and which family representative will act as their legal voice. A lawyer will be key in helping your family determine the steps required to obtain a conservatorship.

Obtaining Compensation Beyond Medical Fees

The cost of living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) over a lifetime can be substantial, often leaving victims grappling with financial hardship on top of the physical and emotional trauma. From ongoing medical expenses to potential loss of income due to disability, the financial burden can be overwhelming. Additionally, TBI may necessitate long-term care, specialized therapies, and modifications to living arrangements, further exacerbating the strain.

By initiating a lawsuit against the individual or entity responsible for your injuries, you can seek compensation to help alleviate these financial burdens and restore some semblance of normalcy to your life. Through the legal process, you may recover compensation for:

Medical bills
Rehabilitation expenses
Lost wages
Other related costs

This financial support can provide vital assistance in accessing necessary medical care, therapies, and support services and ease the financial strain on you and your family during this challenging time. Additionally, holding the responsible party accountable through legal action sends a message that negligence resulting in TBI will not be tolerated and encourages greater awareness and prevention efforts to safeguard against such injuries in the future.
