Brain Injury/TBI

Count On Skilled Legal Advocacy For Your Brain Injury Claim

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are among the most devastating and worrisome of all injuries. They can cause many symptoms and complications, including long-term cognitive impairment, physical disability and pain, or even death. While these traumatic brain injuries can be devastating, they are difficult to diagnose. Sometimes, patients may not experience any symptoms for weeks after an accident. Seeking immediate medical care for a brain injury is crucial as it can decrease the risk of permanent damage.

When you are recovering, the last thing you want to worry about is how much your settlement will be. But it’s a question that needs answering – and it cannot be answered without knowing all the facts of your case. You will need a team of traumatic brain injury attorneys to be thorough. When you contact The Maddox Law Firm, our attorneys will work with you and for you in calculating and obtaining a traumatic brain injury settlement for your specific case.

How Much Is Your Case Worth?

Below are the typical categories of TBIs, along with related symptoms:

Mild traumatic brain injuries – Most common. Symptoms can last for 1-2 days. This can result in a dazed feeling and memory-related issues.
Moderate traumatic brain injuries – Symptoms can last over a week. This can result in a dazed feeling and loss of consciousness occasionally.
Severe traumatic brain injuries – Life-threatening. Bad headaches that worsen or will not go away, loss of vision, nausea or vomiting, slurred speech and more. Seek help immediately.

From Connecticut car accidents to workplace accidents, each scenario will result in its unique set of damages, meaning that the settlement amount you receive will vary depending on what happened to you. This includes how severe your traumatic brain injuries were and how long they lasted.

You are entitled to compensation for medical bills and lost wages. The time between the date of your accident and now is also an important factor because it can affect how much you are owed for future medical bills and lost wages.

You may be weakened after your traumatic brain injuries, which means the at-fault party will likely attempt to take advantage of you while you are down. This can happen in a couple of ways: they may offer you an amount that is well below the amount you could receive in court, or they may refuse to hand over the traumatic brain injury settlement you deserve altogether. You need to take care of yourself, but you also want justice for what happened to you or your loved one. Our team of traumatic brain injury attorneys will manage your case during recovery, negotiate with the party who caused your accident and advocate for you during trial if it leads to it.

How long do I have to file a TBI lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for filing a TBI lawsuit varies by state. In New York, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a claim. In Connecticut it’s two years. Specific circumstances may affect these limitations periods.

How does a settlement work in a TBI case?

A settlement is an agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant (or their insurers) to resolve the case out of court in exchange for compensation. The amount and terms are negotiated by the parties involved and their lawyers.

  I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Excellent Law Firm—they are always first in mind for basically any legal service you can think of, but most importantly is the high level of professionalism and communication. I recently had a potential legal issue and called on a late weekend afternoon. Immediately one of their attorneys (Jessica) called me back and talked me through everything, and gave me excellent advice. She continued to follow up with me throughout the entire situation and couldn’t have been more pleasant. I highly recommend seeking their advice or counsel…there is a reason their reviews are so high! It is also a huge bonus they have offices across CT, so they really have  great grasp on the laws here and know and understand their community.

  I was referred to The Maddox Law Firm on the Saturday Night of July 4th holiday weekend with a pressing personal family issue.  Matthew Maddox immediately accepted my call and provided me with exceptional advice.  He followed up with me on Sunday AND Monday to make sure my family was protected.  His empathy, guidance and follow up was truly remarkable.  I unequivocally recommend Matthew and his firm to anyone who is looking for a premier family lawyer.

  Matthew went above and beyond! His honesty and focus on my son’s best interest is what did it for me. He spoke to my son in a direct manner and for that I’m grateful. It’s not about the business aspect for him. He cares! From the bottom of my heart… thank you.

Not once, but a few times.  I highly recommend The Maddox Law Firm if you're looking for a team that's going to go all out for you!
