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.
