One TBI Can Cause a Lifetime of Consequences
Traumatic brain injuries rarely heal on their own or even with modern medical sciences and treatments. The neurons and cells in the brain are slow to regenerate if they can at all. This is how a single TBI can become a completely life-changing injury.
People who live with a brain injury often deal with:
- Loss of mobility
- Loss of independence
- Chronic headaches
- Memory loss
- Speech impediments
- Depression and PTSD
To magnify the validity of your case, we can work with medical experts like neurosurgeons. With their input, our Nashville brain injury attorneys can fully understand your injury and better explain how it has and will continue to negatively impact your life.
Damages for TBI Cases
The purpose of a TBI case is to get you back to “normal” or something close to it without draining your finances in the process. Tennessee law allows our attorneys to seek economic and non-economic damages on your behalf.
We can carefully calculate these damages to make certain we are not leaving any money owed to you unclaimed. If needed, we can work with a financial analyst, who can help calculate your future damages and testify to explain how they reached that number.
Damages that should be provided in your TBI case include:
- Medical costs: To take care of you in the weeks and months following a brain injury, extensive hospitalization might be required. In a short span, your healthcare insurance could cap, and you could be at risk of losing treatments or going bankrupt. A brain injury claim can demand 100% of all past and future medical care costs, though, so you can get the treatments you need.
- Lost wages: You can sue for any paychecks you did not earn because you were unable to work after your injury. Even if you can never return to your regular job again, you can demand that full amount of lost wages and reduced income potential from the person who caused your TBI.
- Pain and suffering: Your physical pain and emotional suffering are not to be overlooked in a TBI case. These types of non-economic damages can become the most valuable part of a claim, depending on badly you have suffered since your accident and injury. Another similar non-economic damage we might be able to pursue will reflect your lessened enjoyment of life.
- Permanent disability: If you are unable to fully recover from your brain injury, then you can sue for another damage called permanent disability. This damage is meant to fairly reflect the hardships ahead of you because of the disabilities caused by your TBI.
