What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when sudden trauma, such as a blow or jolt to the head, disrupts normal brain function. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe injuries that result in long-term disability or even death. Common causes include car accidents, falls, sports injuries, and workplace accidents.

Symptoms of a Brain Injury

Signs of a traumatic brain injury could include: headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory issues, or mood alterations. If you or a loved one experiences any of these symptoms following an accident, seek medical care immediately. Early intervention can greatly improve recovery outcomes and strengthen any legal claims.

Compensation for Brain Injury Victims

The financial and emotional impact of a brain injury can be overwhelming. At Pemberton, we help clients pursue compensation for the following:

Economic Damages: These include medical expenses for emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing rehabilitation, as well as lost wages and reduced earning capacity.

Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment or diminished quality of life.

Steps to Take After a Brain Injury

Taking the right steps after a brain injury can protect both your health and your legal rights.

1. First, seek immediate medical attention even if symptoms seem minor, as a prompt evaluation ensures proper diagnosis and treatment.
2. Documentation is vital. Take photos of the accident scene and collect contact information from witnesses. Be sure to keep any important documents, like medical records and accident reports.
3. Avoid speaking directly with insurance adjusters who may attempt to minimize your claim—let your attorney handle all communications.
4. Finally, consult an experienced brain injury lawyer to improve your chances of obtaining full and fair compensation.

Common Challenges in Brain Injury Cases

Brain injury cases are complex and require extensive legal and medical knowledge. Challenges often include:

• Proving Liability: Establishing fault requires substantial evidence and expert testimony to demonstrate how the accident occurred and who is responsible.
• Quantifying Losses: Measuring the full impact of a brain injury can be hard. This is especially true for non-economic losses. These losses include emotional distress and a lower quality of life.
• Dealing with Insurance Companies: Insurers may undervalue claims or deny liability, making skilled legal representation essential to securing fair compensation.
