Erlanger Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have devastating and far-reaching effects on the injured person and their family, especially if someone else’s negligence caused the accident.

If you sustained such an injury, an Erlanger traumatic brain injury lawyer with Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers can help you pursue financial damages from the liable party. We will offer our services at no upfront costs or fees.

Be Aware of the Possible Symptoms of a TBI

A TBI is not always easy to diagnose, and symptoms may not appear right away. However, our attorneys can direct you to medical specialists who can examine you and prepare a diagnostic report. We will use this document as evidence to support your case. 

Symptoms of a brain injury can include:

  • Persistent headache
  • Repeated nausea or vomiting
  • Convulsions or seizures
  • Dilation of one or both pupils in the eyes
  • Weakness in fingers and toes
  • Loss of coordination
  • Slurred speech
  • Confusion
  • Headache
  • Dizziness or loss of balance
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Problems with speech
  • Problems with memory and concentration
  • Mood changes or mood swings
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Loss of consciousness from several minutes to hours

Even a minor jolt to the head can develop into something more serious without proper diagnosis and treatment, so it is essential to seek medical attention if you experience any of the symptoms listed following an accident. This gives you peace of mind and protects you from further harm; it also links your injuries to the accident, a critical part of the legal process in a TBI accident lawsuit.

Our TBI Accident Lawyers Can Help You Prove Liability

We will need to prove the at-fault party is responsible for causing the accident and your injuries and that you incurred demonstrable losses due to their negligence. Our process typically involves:

  • Investigating the accident to gather evidence and identify liable parties
  • Reviewing all records and other documentation related to the case
  • Conducting a financial assessment of injuries and other losses, including any future damages
  • Negotiating with the insurance company for an appropriate settlement
  • Taking a case to court, if the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement

How We Calculate Compensation in a TBI Accident Claim

The symptoms of a TBI are unique to each individual, so we calculate financial damages on a case-by-case basis. As a general guide, we consider the following factors when assessing the economic impact of a TBI accident:

  • The severity of the brain injury
  • The extent of your financial losses
  • The support you and your family require for the future

Damages You Can Receive After Suffering a TBI in Erlanger

Compensation helps our clients access the care they require for their recovery and any ongoing care needs. Monetary damages also play an important part in paying for:

  • Financial support for loss of current and future earnings and work-related benefits
  • Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Accommodations required for the home
  • Specialist equipment or transportation
  • The provision of nursing or domestic care, treatment, and therapy

Any Type of Accident Can Cause Head and Brain Injuries

We represent people who have suffered brain injuries in many different circumstances. However, some of the most common causes of TBI accident claims stem from:

Auto Collisions and Other Traffic-Related Accidents

Because auto accidents may cause a sudden jolt to the head on impact, they are a common cause of TBIs. If the other driver caused the accident, you would likely be able to pursue compensation. Examples of driver negligence can include:

  • Reckless driving, such as speeding or unsafe lane changes
  • Distracted driving by texting while driving or from other passengers
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs 
  • Failure to obey traffic regulations, signs, and controls

Medical Negligence

A medical provider could be liable for a TBI if they failed to meet applicable standards of care. Examples of brain injuries that may result from medical negligence include:

  • Failing to timely diagnose a patient’s condition
  • Excessive bleeding during a surgical procedure resulting in decreased oxygenation
  • Trauma during labor and delivery caused by vacuums, forceps, or cranial compression
  • Giving the patient the wrong dose or type of medication
  • Failing to diagnose or treat a pulmonary embolism properly
  • Failing to monitor a patient under anesthesia

Accidents in the Workplace

Employers are required to take proper precautions to help reduce the risk of accidents at work; however, brain injuries often happen in the workplace due to:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Being stuck by falling objects
  • Falls from heights

If you suffer from a TBI at work, workers’ compensation insurance will probably cover some or most of your losses. However, as brain injuries can lead to lifelong complications, insurance companies may not want to be liable for the costs associated. Problems can arise if an insurance company disputes liability or declines payments for specific medical treatments. 

Our lawyers can review your case and help you to understand the complex state laws regarding workers’ compensation. We can also help you file your claim or appeal a decision if you receive a denial.
