How Our Injury Attorney Can Help Your Evansville Comatose Patients Case

There are countless ways that an Evansville comatose patient lawyer can help, but we customize our legal approach to your needs, so we talk with you first to understand how we can help.

Generally, our Evansville Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer helps you establish power of attorney. When a patient is comatose, they cannot advocate for themselves. So, a loved one, such as a parent, child, sibling, or spouse, often needs to use their power of attorney. Our lawyer can help with the legal side as you seek care for your loved one.

If you want to pursue a case on behalf of your loved one, it is important to establish liability or who is responsible for the injury. An Evansville area comatose patient lawyer with Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers can investigate your accident and determine the following:

• What (and who) caused the accident?
• The sequence of events leading up to and following the accident

Recoverable Damages for a Comatose Patients Case in Evansville

Depending on the circumstances, a loved one may be able to claim a large variety of damages. A coma is an extremely serious medical condition and also one that brings enormous financial costs. Financial compensation will surely not set everything back to how it was before the injury, but there is no reason you should face financial hardship, too. A monetary award could relieve the burdens you are facing. Some damages commonly claimed in these kinds of cases include:

• Hospital stays
• Ambulance rides and other emergency care
• Surgeries
• Medication
• Therapy
• Pain and suffering
• Lost income and benefits
• Lost earning capacity
• Loss of consortium
• Property damage (if the injury was the result of a crash or other accident)

Since these cases are all unique, an Evansville Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer with our firm can clarify which damages you could claim. Another consideration is long-term care or rehabilitation following recovery. If the patient can recover, they will need extensive, ongoing therapy and rehabilitation, which is another enormous cost you should not have to pay on your own.

Statute of Limitations to File a Claim

If you are considering filing a case against the at-fault party, you should be aware of an important restriction known as the statute of limitations. Indiana’s statute of limitations is the time injured parties must file their lawsuits in court. In Indiana, these cases generally have a two-year statute of limitations deadline, per IC § 34-11-2-4.

With a comatose patient, this time can slip away quickly. Be cognizant that the two-year statute of limitations usually starts on the day of the injury. If you are unsure of the exact dates, our Evansville Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer can advise you on this matter.

Affording Legal Aid

Another important consideration for someone considering filing a lawsuit is cost. We do not initially charge you for anything for comatose patient cases at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers. Instead, our fees are on a contingency basis. You will not owe us anything unless you receive a settlement or judgment in your favor.

We believe your focus should be on the health and recovery of your loved ones. We do not want to add any additional financial strain on an already devastating situation. If you hire our firm, we will focus on the legal burden and tasks ahead. We do not ask for or require any upfront fees or costs in these cases.

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injury occurs when you hit your head on something or due to sudden and violent head movements. It is important to get medical attention whenever you hit your head violently or were in an accident resulting in a head injury. Some of the causes of traumatic brain injuries include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

The impact from a moving car can cause sudden movement of the head. You might also hit the steering wheel or the ground hard, resulting in a head injury.

Slip and Fall Accidents

These are riskier, especially in children and older adults, who are more vulnerable to head injuries. These can occur due to a lack of enough warning and safety signs. They can also occur on construction sites and at work.

Physical Violence

Victims of child and domestic abuse can get hit hard on the head, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. It can also happen in cases where crime is involved.

Types and Common Causes of Comas

Comas result from brain damage and present in three ways:

1. Persistent vegetative state: A patient is unaware of their surroundings and incapable of intentional movement.
2. Permanent vegetative state: A patient is indefinitely in a persistent vegetative state.
3. Minimally conscious state: A patient is minimally aware and may respond to stimuli. A patient shows more awareness but is infrequently conscious and only for short periods.

When it a coma occurs, it is a medical emergency, as the Mayo Clinic explains.

Some accidents and conditions that can cause comas are:

• Insufficient oxygen to the brain
• Heavy metal poisoning
• Brain tumors
• Recurring seizures
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Stroke
• Trauma, including traffic accidents, slip and fall accidents, and sports injuries

Regardless of the coma’s cause, we must establish liability. Liability could occur because of improper medical care, negligent driving, unsafe working conditions, unsafe living conditions, and more reasons. An Evansville traumatic brain injury lawyer from Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers can help you understand what party is liable for the injuries to your loved one and how to proceed.
