When Accidents Cause Brain Injuries, the Stakes Are Much Higher for Victims and Their Families

At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we believe that any type of preventable injury that’s caused by another person’s negligence is unacceptable. Many types of injuries can result in permanent disability and even life-threatening complications, but there’s one type of injury that can change victims in a way that other injuries can’t: traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

When victims suffer TBIs, they’re often changed in subtle or dramatic ways. Victims may lose cognitive ability and control over their emotions, or their personalities and relationships with their loved ones may change. These changes can be highly distressing for both victims and their loved ones.

In addition to changes affecting their mental and emotional states, many TBI victims lose fine motor coordination and skills. They may be unable to do their jobs correctly or at all, which can mean permanent disability and loss of paychecks. Treatment may involve expensive physical therapy, which isn’t always successful.

The devastating outcomes of many TBIs is why victims and their loved ones need an experienced Virginia brain injury lawyer on their sides right away after accidents that affect the brain. The costs and stakes are simply too high for victims to count on getting fair settlements from insurance companies on their own—or to do nothing and pay out of pocket for all their injury-related expenses.
