Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
A TBI occurs when there is a severe head injury, such as a violent blow or jolt to the head area, that disrupts the normal function of the brain. These types of injuries can be quite significant, with long-term complications and potentially even death. Results can range from a mild concussion to long-term brain damage that requires lifetime treatment.
Causes of TBIs
TBIs can result from numerous circumstances, including car accidents, falls, sports injuries, and violence. These types of injuries can often be attributed to negligence on the part of another party. If this happens, the injured party is eligible for financial compensation to aid with medical expenses, long-term care, and compensation for pain, suffering, and emotional damages.
How a Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney Can Help
TBI cases can be complex in terms of determining how much care may be needed in the future, as oftentimes, the severity of injury and length of care needed may not be known until some time after the incident occurs. A TBI attorney has experience in evaluating the long-term costs associated with these types of injuries. These expenses include medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Why Should You Hire a TBI Attorney?
Hiring effective legal counsel has multiple advantages. For example, they understand the legal aspects surrounding these cases and know the types of medical issues related to these injuries, including those that may be hard to detect or do not surface until a later point.
They should also have experience working with insurance claims and dealing with insurance companies. Attorneys understand the policies and know what to look for in terms of coverage protecting against these types of injuries. They can also identify policy language to protect against bad faith actions on behalf of the plaintiff’s or defendant’s insurance company.
Once your case is built, an attorney can help procure a favorable settlement that covers your medical expenses and any emotional damages. Settlements are often considered a favorable outcome because they avoid lengthy trials. For the defendant, it can keep them from spending more on legal fees by dragging out the case.
Is There a Deadline to File Traumatic Brain Injury Claims?
In Louisiana, claimants have a deadline of one year from the date of injury to pursue a legal claim. Time is of the essence with these types of claims, which is why it is imperative to consult with a TBI attorney as soon as possible.
