When Can You Pursue a Claim for a Brain Injury?
A brain injury claim may be possible when another person or party’s negligence or wrongful actions cause a traumatic brain injury or other serious brain injury. These injuries can result from car and motor vehicle accidents, falls, unsafe property conditions, assaults, and other incidents where another party may bear responsibility.
Brain injuries can affect far more than physical health. Changes in memory, concentration, behavior, communication, mobility, and the ability to work can impact nearly every part of a person’s life. In more serious cases, ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term assistance may be necessary, and some effects may not be immediately visible or easily measured.
The Courtroom Couple works to investigate how the injury occurred while documenting its full impact on the client’s health, employment, independence, and everyday life. Kory and Brittany also work to develop the medical and other evidence needed to demonstrate how the brain injury may continue to affect the client and their family in the future.
How Can a Brain Injury Affect Your Future?
The effects of a brain injury are not always limited to the initial medical emergency. Symptoms can affect a person’s ability to work, communicate, maintain relationships, complete everyday activities, and live independently. Understanding these ongoing effects can be an important part of evaluating the full impact of an injury.
- Medical Treatment & Rehabilitation
Ongoing neurological care, therapy, rehabilitation, medication, and other treatment may be necessary. - Memory & Cognitive Changes
Brain injuries can affect concentration, memory, problem-solving, communication, and other cognitive abilities. - Ability to Work
Cognitive or physical limitations may make returning to the same job difficult or affect future earning ability. - Independence & Daily Life
More serious injuries may affect mobility, driving, household activities, personal care, and the ability to live independently. - Emotional & Behavioral Changes
Changes in mood, personality, behavior, and emotional regulation can also affect the injured person and their family.
How Is a Brain Injury Claim Built?
Building a brain injury claim requires understanding both how the injury occurred and how it may affect your life in the future. Because symptoms can develop or change over time, the full impact of a traumatic brain injury may not be immediately known. A claim may need to account for current medical expenses and lost income as well as future treatment, reduced earning ability, long-term limitations, and other applicable losses.
The Courtroom Couple works to develop a complete picture of the injury and its long-term impact. Kory and Brittany investigate what happened, preserve available evidence, document medical treatment and symptoms, evaluate available insurance coverage, and examine how the injury has affected your ability to work, live independently, and participate in everyday life. When appropriate, medical and other qualified professionals may also help establish the nature of the injury and anticipated future needs.
