Traumatic Brain Injury Claims Require In-Depth Investigations

by admin@gotechark.com | January 17th, 2022

All personal injury claims should be carefully reviewed before victims demand and accept settlement offers. Too often, victims end up getting far less money than they’re owed because they didn’t realize how much their injuries will truly cost them. They may only look at their current medical bills and lost wages, or they may anticipate that they’ll recover faster than expected.

At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we never take anything for granted when we build claims for victims. We always gather as much evidence as possible to not only prove they weren’t at fault, but also to forecast how their injuries will affect them well into the future. This is especially important for traumatic brain injury (TBI) claims.

TBIs are particularly devastating because they can interfere with many aspects of life. Victims may suffer physical and cognitive effects from TBIs, which can make it difficult or impossible for them to work. They also may need ongoing physical and cognitive rehabilitation to regain some of their lost skills and abilities. In extreme cases, victims may even require live-in assistance from nurses and other caregivers.

To make matters worse, TBIs are often permanent. Although the brain has the capacity to heal and regrow connections, TBIs often cause the deaths of many cells, neurons, and tissue. Because of the permanent nature of most TBIs, injury claims should always be based on the assumption that victims will never fully recover and may even get worse.

If you or someone you love suffered a TBI after an accident that wasn’t your fault, we want to help. Contact our Virginia brain injury lawyers today for a free consultation.
