Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are challenging to diagnose and often go unnoticed throughout a victim's treatment. Unlike visible injuries, TBIs are harder to identify. Emergency room doctors may only look for severe injuries like skull fractures or brain bleeds. Primary care physicians or specialists might also miss TBIs, as they aren't always looking for them. Victims often don't connect their symptoms, such as headaches, confusion, difficulty concentrating, or sensitivity to light and noise, to the accident.
If you suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a lawyer can provide crucial support in several ways:
Evaluating Your Case: They will assess the details of your accident and injury to determine if you have a valid claim. This includes reviewing medical records, accident reports, and other evidence.
Identifying Liable Parties: TBIs can result from various incidents, such as car accidents, falls, or workplace injuries. Your lawyer will identify all parties that may be responsible for your injury.
Calculating Damages: They will help quantify your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future rehabilitation costs. This ensures you seek adequate compensation.
Handling Insurance Companies: Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging. Your lawyer will manage all communications and negotiations with insurers to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
Connecting You with Medical Experts: They can help you find top medical professionals and rehabilitation centers to ensure you receive the best possible care.
Representing You in Court: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer will represent you in court, advocating for your rights and aiming to secure the compensation you deserve.
By managing these complex tasks, a lawyer helps you focus on your recovery while ensuring your legal rights are protected.
