Brain Injury Victims Face Lifetime of Challenges

Whereas the immediate symptoms of many common accident injuries like broken bones are visible to other people, the damage caused by traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) is rarely visible to the average person.

Employment Issues for TBI Victims

Brain Injuries LawyerTBI victims often face a multitude of medical expenses relating to their initial care and subsequent treatment. Most TBI victims spend a few days in a hospital before they are sent to an assisted living facility or rehabilitation center.

A significant additional cost for many TBI victims is their inability to find or maintain any meaningful long-term employment. TBIs can cause significant cognitive challenges for victims that can make certain tasks more difficult.

The psychological and behavioral issues that can result from TBIs can include depression or anxiety, and physical symptoms may include seizures or speech impairment. More severe cases can involve lack of consciousness.

Damages for TBI Victims

The unfortunate truth in many TBI cases is that there is no hope for recovery. Most victims will be unable to regain the mental abilities they once had.

TBI victims may be entitled to compensation not only for wages they lost following the accident, but also future wages they were deprived of. Other types of damages may include awards for:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Rehabilitation
  • Assisted living costs
  • In-home care
  • Home modifications
  • Medical equipment
  • Household services

In some cases, a victim’s family could also be awarded noneconomic damages for loss of intimate relations or loss of affection, companionship, or moral support. Insurance companies for negligent parties frequently resist paying many of these kinds of claims.

The lack of clear physical signs of injury often leads to insurers being highly suspect of TBI claims and more resistant to the types of medical needs victims require. An experienced lawyer can act as a victim’s advocate in all negotiations and subsequent court matters relating to an injury claim.
