TBI Compensation:
Money for Traumatic Brain Injury Victims

When our law firm represents traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims, we immediately start working on a strategy for obtaining the best possible compensation package for our client.  We get to know our client and learn how the TBI injuries are affecting his or her life.  We hire medical experts to testify regarding medical procedures, estimated future medical expenses and pain and suffering.

TBI Victim Compensation Settlement

After we have determined what your TBI case is worth, we start negotiating for a settlement.  This usually involves sending a settlement demand letter to defendants (parties being sued) and insurance companies.  Most cases settle before going to trial, but we always prepare every case for trial.  We want the defendants and insurance companies to know that we are willing to take the case to a judge and jury if necessary.

Our goal is getting as much money as possible for you.  Our motivations are justice and making sure you and your family do not suffer financially because of your TBI.

A Breakdown of TBI Victim Compensation

Below are some of the areas we will look at to determine what your TBI case is worth.

  • Medical Expenses.  All of your medical expenses are compensable. We hire a medical expert to determine your estimated future medical expenses.  Our goal is to make sure your compensation package fully covers your future medical expenses.
  • Cost of Care.  Cost of care can include people coming to your home to care for you physically and for your other needs.  Again, your compensation package should include amounts for estimated future cost of care.
  • Lost Income.  Any income you are not able to make because of your TBI is compensable.  This can include time off of work, money lost because you need to change jobs and lost opportunities.  This amount is computed based on what income you have lost and what income you will lose in the future.
  • Vocational Rehabilitation.  If you are not able to do what you were trained to do after your TBI, your expenses for retraining may be compensable.
  • Pain and Suffering.  Pain and suffering includes amounts for physical pain, emotional suffering (emotional distress), disability, loss of quality of life and other damages. We hire one or more medical experts to testify about the pain and suffering you have endured and what you will have to endure in the future.  Also, it is our job to get to know you and how your TBI has affected your life.

Your spouse may have a separate claim against the defendants. Our TBI lawyers have recovered money for spouses of TBI victims. If your TBI has affected your marriage, your spouse may have a claim against the defendants for loss of consortium, which includes a loss of comfort, support, services, love, companionship, society, affection, sexual relations and solace.  This money is awarded to your spouse.
