Brain Damage and your Legal Rights

Brain damage is debilitating and personally devastating—but brain injuries do not strip you of your rights and legal entitlements. Just as you have the right to proper medical care and on-going therapy and rehabilitation, you also have the right to file a personal injury claim for brain damage.

Brain damage, in the eyes of the law, is generally referred to as Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI for short,—and it is a common personal injury claim for car crash victims and other personal injury victims. If you’ve experienced brain damage from a Traumatic Brain Injury, we’re here to help.

Compensation for Brain Damage and TBI Claims 

As a personal injury victim you may be entitled to compensation based on the incurred costs from your accident. If you file a personal injury claim within proper timelines, you may be eligible for a claim payout that includes one or more of the following forms of compensation:

  • For incurred medical costs, including on-going care, home care and rehabilitation
  • Lost income, future lost income and loss of opportunity
  • Pain and suffering and/or emotional trauma or stress (note that pain and suffering does not amount for the same type of compensation available in the United States)

Filing a Personal Injury Claim for Brain Damage 

After an initial meeting we will discuss the viability of filing a personal injury claim. If your claim can be backed up with the necessary paperwork and evidentiary support then we will move forward in the claim process immediately. Moving forward immediately is top priority as there is a limitation period on personal injury claims—and claims must be filed within two years of the offending accident. Failure to file in time can result in penalties or the rejection of your claim.

Once the claim is filed we will then adhere to a strict timeline of filing, ensuring that all follow up paperwork and evidence is submitted within strict personal injury timelines.
