How Do I Know If I Need a Lawyer After an Accident?
If your injuries are very minor, such as a mild concussion, or your accident doesn’t involve an injury, only property damage, you may not need the help of an attorney. But when a serious Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is involved and someone else caused your accident, victims often have to demand full support so they don’t have to pay for their own medical care
High medical bills and lengthy recoveries tempt insurance companies to look for ways to reject your claim. They may try to blame you for your accident or try to claim your brain injury isn’t as bad as your doctor confirms. Your lawyer fully investigates your incident and collects powerful evidence to make sure at-fault parties and their insurers can’t escape responsibility. Then your lawyer demands the maximum in compensation available so you can pay your medical bills and rebuild your life.
Traumatic Brain Injury Dangers in Modesto
Traumatic Brain Injuries involve changes in the brain’s function after victims suffer a bump or jolt to the head or a penetrating injury.
They can occur as a result of an assault. A TBI might be the outcome of a slip-and-fall on a puddle left out on the floor at Walmart. On the way down, victims may strike their heads on shelving or the hard floor. Car accidents on busy roads like Briggsmore Avenue also carry plenty of force to cause TBIs.
TBIs could be minor, like mild concussions, or spawn severe symptoms like seizures. The CDC reports that the victims of TBI will have trouble thinking and learning. They can struggle with motor skills, hearing, and vision. Their emotions and moods could be affected and trouble controlling behavior has been documented.
A Traumatic Brain Injury can cause mild symptoms like headaches and light sensitivity and clear up in a week or two. More severe head trauma can require months or years of medical attention, potential brain surgeries, and physical therapy. This care will be enormously expensive. A Modesto Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer makes sure you receive support to last as long as necessary, and over a lifetime if that’s what’s required.
What Should a Traumatic Brain Injury Settlement Check Cover?
The time it’ll take the victim to fully heal from a TBI will be a major factor in the size of a settlement check. Recovery time can be hard to gauge with brain injuries and the expert opinions of doctors will have to be called upon when rehabilitation will go beyond a few weeks or months.
With a long-term injury or even a permanent physical disability, it’s critical that care extends for as long as necessary. A settlement must also help cover the changes in lifestyle a patient could experience.
The patient could need nursing home care or part-time or full-time home care. Renovations at the home could also be necessary to give patients as much freedom as possible. Medical equipment may be a lifelong expense for patients and their families. Victims could also need career support if they can no longer return to their previous jobs. They might need money to pay for college courses and new career training.
Your Maison Law Accident & Injury Lawyers will make sure you and your family are covered for as long as necessary. Your lawyer will also seek support for factors you may not have realized could earn you additional compensation.
- Money to pay every hospital bill now and in the future
- A lifetime of support for a permanent physical disability
- Travel costs while going to hospital appointments
- Support for the physical pain victims endure
- Support for the emotional trauma victims must suffer through
- Past and future lost income and benefits while you miss work
- Estimates on lost earning capacity from a permanent disability
- Damage or destruction of property
- Wrongful Death Benefits
The victims of serious TBIs can tragically face a shorter lifespan. Family members mourning the loss of a loved one due to an accident can also seek support from at-fault parties. They should receive money to help with funeral costs and leftover medical fees. Close relatives should also get help facing the future when they are without the emotional and financial support the deceased can no longer provide.
A Modesto Wrongful Death Lawyer can file this claim on behalf of all eligible family members and make sure victims receive justice and support.
