Traumatic Brain Injury Accidents

Many types of accidents can cause traumatic brain injuries, including:

If you sustained serious head injuries requiring medical treatment due to someone else’s negligence, you might be entitled to financial compensation. Contact a personal injury lawyer so that we can review your case.

Traumatic Brain Injury Settlements

Since every personal injury claim is different, estimating a settlement amount for traumatic brain injuries can be difficult.

Many factors—such as the severity of the injury, lost wages, and medical expenses—can affect your settlement amount. For example, if your TBI causes severe, long-term disabilities, you may earn a higher settlement than if you only sustained a few short-term symptoms.

Your West Virginia brain injury lawyer can give you an estimate for your specific case. We can also negotiate with the defendant’s insurance company for a higher settlement amount.

Understanding Personal Injury Law

Navigating your traumatic brain injury claim can be complicated, so it’s helpful to learn some standard terms and concepts for personal injury cases:

  • Negligence: This refers to someone’s careless actions that usually result in harm to others. If negligence caused your TBI, you likely have a strong case.
  • Statute of limitations: This is the set amount of time to seek legal action for your TBI. The West Virginia statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years.
  • Policy limits: This is the maximum amount the responsible party’s insurance company will pay for your damages. If your damages exceed the policy limit, the defendant will be responsible for covering the rest of your expenses.

While knowing about these terms is beneficial, an experienced brain injury lawyer can answer any of your questions about the legal system and your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some people think they can handle their insurance claims on their own. While hiring an attorney is not required, working with a lawyer has many benefits. For example, an experienced brain injury attorney will communicate with the insurance company for you. They’ll also ensure that you get the most out of your settlement. A lawyer will protect your rights and defend you in court if you decide to sue.

 

If your TBI was someone else’s fault and resulted from negligence, you most likely have a solid personal injury case. If unsure whether you have a case, you can schedule a free consultation with a personal injury lawyer. They’ll review your situation and tell you if you have a legitimate claim.

Sometimes, your lawyer and the other insurance company will agree on the settlement amount. In this situation, you probably won’t have to go to court. However, you may have to take your case to court if they can’t agree on a settlement. If this happens, your lawyer will represent you to ensure you receive fair compensation.
