Fighting For Your Future After A Brain Injury

One of the most common injuries after an accident is a traumatic brain injury.

Our New Jersey brain injury lawyers at Flynn Law, in Mount Laurel understand the full medical proceedings and legal implications of head injuries and recognize the physical and emotional stress you have sustained as a result of your brain trauma. You can trust us to advocate for you.

How A Brain Injury Can Impact Your Life

Brain injuries designated as traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are described as injuries suffered from a blow or jolt to the head that disrupt the normal functions of the brain.

In some cases, a traumatic brain injury can cause damage ranging from a mild concussion to a more severe injury like coma or death. Symptoms resulting from a TBI brain injury can be subtle and may not appear after days or weeks following the onset of the injury. Common symptoms may include memory and speech problems, dizziness, headaches, mobility concerns and seizures.

It is vitally important to seek prompt medical attention after a head injury with a specialized neurologist as soon as possible. Doing so may lessen the impact of having permanent brain damage and assist in a faster recovery and rehabilitation process.

Almost Any Accident Can Cause A Brain Injury

Brain injuries can occur from a variety of accidents, each capable of disrupting your life significantly. One of the most common causes of TBIs is motor vehicle accidents, such as car accidents, motorcycle, bus, truck and pedestrian collisions.

Slip-and-fall accidents are another common cause of brain injuries, often occurring due to negligent property maintenance. When this happens, our attorneys can help you file a premises liability lawsuit to hold the negligent parties responsible. Industries involving physical labor, machinery or heights pose higher risks for head injuries. Construction sites, warehouses and factories are typical settings for such accidents.

If you suspect a brain injury due to any of these causes, seek medical attention immediately to mitigate long-term effects and begin the documentation process for your personal injury claim.

What Damages Can You Receive From A TBI Claim?

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) claims can involve substantial compensation due to the severe and often long-lasting effects of the injury. If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to several types of damages:

  • Medical expenses: This includes costs for emergency medical care, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitative therapies and any future medical care related to your injury.
  • Lost wages: Compensation can cover the income you lost while recovering, as well as future earnings if your ability to work has been compromised.
  • Pain and suffering: TBIs often result in significant physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation for pain and suffering addresses these noneconomic damages.
  • Loss of enjoyment of life: TBIs can prevent you from enjoying the activities and hobbies you once loved. You can file a claim to win compensation for these losses.
  • Punitive damages: Rarely, a court may award punitive damages in cases where the actions that caused the accident were grievously reckless or malicious. The purpose of punitive damages is to deter similar behavior in the future.

Navigating a TBI claim requires careful legal guidance to ensure all potential damages are thoroughly assessed and pursued. Consulting with a knowledgeable attorney can help maximize the compensation you receive.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait To Contact A Brain Injury Lawyer

When dealing with the aftermath of a brain injury, time is of the essence. Delaying legal action can significantly impact the outcome of your case and the compensation you may be entitled to.

Here’s why you should contact a brain injury lawyer immediately:

  • Preserving evidence: The sooner you contact a lawyer, the more effectively we can gather and preserve critical evidence. Over time, witness memories fade, and physical evidence can be lost or altered.
  • Statute of limitations: Brain injury claims in New Jersey are subject to strict deadlines. Waiting too long to file a claim can result in losing your right to sue altogether.
  • Medical insights: We can connect you with medical experts who not only provide the care you need but also substantiate your legal claim with professional insights.
  • Mitigating financial strain: Brain injuries often lead to significant medical expenses and lost income. An attorney can expedite the process of securing compensation to cover these costs, reducing financial stress during recovery.

Contacting a lawyer soon after your accident ensures that you have the legal support you need, allowing you to focus on recovery while we help you with the complexities of your case.
