Traumatic Brain Injury LawsuitShould you file a traumatic head injury lawsuit?
A brain injury is one of the most serious types of injuries a person can suffer. While some victims are able to make a full recovery, a severe brain injury may interfere with physical and mental abilities, and have serious affects on an individuals life. With a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, a blow to the head has caused a disruption in normal brain function. A TBI is lethal in the most serious cases but the severity level can vary. More than a million such injuries are reported annually. Sometimes, the effects of a TBI are temporary. A mild injury may cause only a temporary disruption in brain cell activity. In more serious cases, an object or piece of skull may penetrate brain tissue, cause tissue tears, or lead to severe bruising or internal bleeding. The onset of symptoms may be delayed, especially in children. Children are more susceptible to traumatic brain injuries, as their skulls are not fully formed or hardened, so any blow to the head can have more serious consequences.

What Types of Compensation are Available in a Brain Injury Case
A brain injury can change your life forever. The damages pursued will reflect how the brain injury has impacted your health and future, personally, professionally, and emotionally. For a brain injury case, you need a skilled personal injury attorney to help you seek justice and full compensation. The following damages will be pursued:
Medical expenses: Medical expenses for a brain injury can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in just a few months. A severe brain injury may require a lifetime of medical care.
Lost wages: If your injury leaves you unable to work, lost wages, both current and future, will be pursued.
Loss of earning capacity: If the injured party has lost the ability to make a living, the amount he or she would have made, if healthy, will be pursued.
Pain and suffering: Brain injuries can lead to physical, cognitive, and emotional problems and long-term impairments. Damages for pain and suffering are often one of the larger portions of a settlement or jury award.
Loss of consortium and companionship: loss of consortium refers to a spinal cord injury victim no longer being able to provide the companionship and association with his or her spouse due to the injuries. This is a delicate and often emotional area for spinal injury victims and should be taken into consideration when obtaining the final settlement amount.
