Frequently Asked Questions About Traumatic Brain Injury Cases

What steps can I take to help make my traumatic brain injury claim more successful?

The most important thing you can do after a traumatic brain injury is seek proper medical
attention. If you have not already done this, contact a medical professional now. You may think
you can handle your injuries at home, but this is unlikely. Some traumatic brain injuries have
subtle symptoms that you may overlook right away. You need medical expert advice on your
injury. Additionally, you will need medical records for your case.

Once you have sought medical care for your traumatic brain injury, you must follow your
doctor’s recommendation and treatment to the letter. Failure to do this will weaken your claim as
the opposition party can state your injuries were made worse by your failure to follow medical
expert advice.

Can I sue for my traumatic brain injury if it happened on the job?

This is not a black and white, yes or no answer. In many cases, if you receive a traumatic brain
injury on the job, you may be able to seek additional financial compensation. However, there are
some mitigating factors that might prevent you from seeking compensation for your injuries. One
of these mitigating factors is your Workmen’s Compensation insurance status. To obtain better
clarification on your case's strength, contact us today to discuss your options in detail.

Who can I sue for my traumatic brain injury?

This depends on the at-fault party. Our legal experts will investigate every aspect of your case
and help you identify the liable party or parties for your injury. Depending on your specific
accident, there could be several different responsible parties.

For example, if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, it is possible that the driver of the
other vehicle could be liable, or the local government could be held culpable if they fail to
maintain roads and walkways properly, etc.

If you were injured on a private property, the property owner may be liable, or a member of their
staff might be. If you were a victim of a violent assault, the perpetrator can be held financially
liable in addition to other legal claims you can make.

Again, contact us today to discuss the specifics of your case to help select the liable party for
your traumatic brain injury.
