If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit. Traumatic brain injuries can be incredibly debilitating, and medical treatment and long-term care costs can be astronomical. Filing a personal injury lawsuit can be a complicated process, so it’s essential to understand your legal rights and options before taking any action. Contact GOLDLAW today for assistance.
What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts the brain’s normal function. TBIs can range from mild—such as a concussion—to severe, leading to coma or even death.
Symptoms of TBI
The symptoms of a TBI can vary depending on the severity of the injury but may include the following:
- Headache
- Confusion
- Lightheadedness
- Dizziness
- Tinging in the ears
- Blurred vision
- Nausea or vomiting
- Slurred speech
- Fatigue
- Changes in mood or behavior
- Memory or concentration problems
- Insomnia
How Do I Know if I Have a Traumatic Brain Injury Case?
To file a successful TBI lawsuit, you must prove that someone else’s negligence caused your injuries. For example, this could be another driver in a car accident or a doctor who failed to properly diagnose a concussion. You will also need to demonstrate that your injuries have had—or are expected to have—a negative impact on your life, including your ability to work and earn an income. An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to help you assess your case and determine whether you have grounds to file a lawsuit.
Benefits of Filing a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit
While every situation is unique, and there is no guarantee that you will receive a favorable outcome, there are potential benefits to taking legal action.
1. Seeking Compensation for Your Injuries
One of the main reasons people file personal injury lawsuits is to seek financial compensation for their injuries. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. If your TBI has left you with significant medical bills or has prevented you from returning to work, filing a lawsuit may be your best option for obtaining the compensation you deserve. In some cases, punitive damages are available as well.
2. Holding Negligent Parties Accountable
In some cases, filing a personal injury lawsuit may also be about holding the negligent party accountable for their actions. Legal action can signal that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.
3. Preventing Future Accidents
Taking legal action after suffering a TBI can also help prevent future accidents. For example, if a defective product caused your accident, filing a lawsuit may compel the manufacturer to issue a recall or take other measures to prevent future injuries.
