The brain is the most complex organ in the body, and it is very sensitive to sustaining permanent damage from external trauma. Additionally, suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an accident involving another person does not automatically make that other person liable for your injury-related losses or disqualify you from being found partly to blame for causing your injury through misconduct.
All those items and more contribute to TBI lawsuits being challenging, particularly if you try to file suit without assistance from a seasoned catastrophic injury attorney. Fortunately, a New Braunfels traumatic brain injury lawyer at Dennis Injury Law could support you. We have the skills and case experience necessary to help you achieve the best possible claim resolution.
Most of the time, establishing someone else’s fault for a TBI—or any type of injury—entails proving that they directly caused the injury to occur by violating a duty of care they owed to the injured person. A severe TBI can significantly alter the course of the injured party’s life. To maximize the recoverable compensation, determining whether a third party holds partial liability for the injury is crucial.
For example, if someone acted irresponsibly at work and caused you to suffer a TBI as a result, their employer might hold vicarious liability for the effects of the employee’s misconduct. When an accidental fall causes a TBI, multiple parties may be liable since numerous individuals are often responsible for maintaining the safety of private property. In New Braunfels, a TBI attorney could review your circumstances and offer guidance about determining who the defendant is in your claim.
Legal counsel in New Braunfels could also play a key role in identifying, valuing, and demanding restitution for every form of harm your TBI will cause you to suffer. This could include economic damages, such as lost income, medical bills, and expenses associated with personal property damage, as well as various forms of non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.
It is also possible to demand compensation in advance for losses you can expect to experience in the future because of a TBI. During an initial consultation, one of our lawyers could thoroughly explain examples of future compensation, such as lost working and earning capacity, rehabilitative and disability management costs, emotional trauma, and a decline in quality of life.
A moderate or severe brain injury can alter the course of your life in a matter of moments. Even worse, these injuries can often be due to the misconduct of someone other than you. However, you could hold the right people accountable for the harm you have sustained and seek fair financial recovery from them by working with capable legal representation.
