Protect Your Legal Rights
When you are injured due to someone else’s actions, the insurance company will often try to reduce their liability by offering a lowball settlement or shifting the blame. An insurance company’s initial settlement offer rarely covers more than basic hospital expenses, and most settlements come with a waiver of liability that prevents you from seeking additional compensation.
If you sign a settlement agreement before consulting with an attorney, you could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation. Protect yourself from unscrupulous tactics by following these guidelines:
- Do not admit fault, even if you think you might be partially to blame.
- Do not make any official statements until you speak to an attorney.
- Do not say anything that could be construed as an admission of fault, even to the police or your own insurance company.
- Do not discuss the accident while your case is ongoing, even on social media.
- Do not speculate about the cause of the accident in your statements to insurance or police. Stick to the facts.
- Do contact an attorney as soon as possible.
A Fishers traumatic brain injury attorney from Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers can shield you from shady insurance companies and unfair settlement offers. They will help you establish fault in the accident and ensure that the guilty parties are held accountable for your injuries.

What You Should Know About Traumatic Brain Injuries
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define traumatic brain injury as “an injury that affects how the brain works”. TBI may be mild, moderate, or severe.
Patients with mild TBI can present a variety of symptoms, such as:
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Confusion
- Blurred vision
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Bad smells or tastes with no source
Moderate and severe TBI patients can have any of the above symptoms, as well as:
- Uncoordinated movement
- Loss of cognitive function
- Vomiting and nausea
- Dizziness
- Loss of consciousness
- Inability to wake up
- Coma
If you have experienced a jolt or blow to the head and have any of the above symptoms, seek medical aid right away. Untreated TBI can worsen quickly and cause significant long-term health issues.
What Causes a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic brain injury is caused when the brain is struck, pierced, or jolted. The brain can be injured through contact with an object or when it strikes the inside of the skull due to a sudden head movement.
According to the CDC, almost half of all traumatic brain injuries in the U.S. happen when people fall unexpectedly. Other causes of TBI include:
- When a firearm is discharged at the head
- When the head is pierced by a bullet or other object
- When the head is struck by a blunt object
- When the head is jolted by a sudden stop or change in direction, as in a car accident
If you believe you have a TBI due to someone else’s actions, contact a Fishers TBI lawyer as soon as possible to learn about your legal rights and possible next steps.
