Frequently Asked Questions About Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries can have incredibly different consequences for different people – and throw entire lives into disarray. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from others:
How is the value of a TBI claim determined?
Several different factors go into the value of a traumatic brain injury claim, including:
- The severity of the injury and its long-term impact on the victim’s physical, emotional and cognitive health
- The associated financial losses, including current and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity and necessary accommodations for ongoing care
- Noneconomic damages, such as the victim’s pain and suffering or diminished quality of life, are also taken into account
You need someone experienced in these cases to truly understand the amount of compensation that is available to you and what documentation is needed to support your claim. It’s critical not to talk to the insurance company until you have an attorney.
How important is it to get medical care after an accident?
It’s extremely important to get medical attention after an accident – even if your symptoms seem minor. TBIs, in particular, can have subtle onset signals that gradually worsen. Prompt medical attention is the best way to protect your health and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Additionally, medical records from that initial evaluation can help tie the accident to your injury, and that can be invaluable evidence in a personal injury claim. This is true no matter what kind of injuries you have after an accident.
How long do claims involving TBIs usually take?
There is no single answer to this question. Some claims resolve quickly, while others may end up going to trial and may take several years to resolve. A lot depends upon the clarity of the evidence of fault, the severity of the injuries and the willingness of the insurance companies involved to be reasonable. At Burrage Law Firm, PLLC, our goal is to be prepared, no matter which direction the case goes, with strong, compelling evidence. We push for the maximum value on every claim because we understand how significantly TBIs affect victims and their families.

That is why we go after the full amount of compensation you need to pay for ongoing treatment as well as any lost earning potential you may have moving forward.
