Primm Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney
If you think that you or a loved one may have sustained some degree of brain damage after a car accident, slip-and-fall, workplace injury, or similar incident, contact a Primm traumatic brain injury lawyer to discuss the legal options available to you.
At the personal injury law offices of Easton & Easton, our TBI attorneys have assisted countless clients in acquiring compensation for the wrongful death of a family member, medical malpractice injuries, and other catastrophic injuries.
Can I Be Compensated for a Mild TBI?
You can be compensated for a mild TBI as long as it’s provable that you incurred real damages as a result of the accident that inflicted harm. This means that the accident (caused by another person’s negligent conduct) in Primm, Nevada was significant enough that your resulting injuries warranted you to seek medical care and treatment. Medical costs, lost wages due to the required time away from work, and expenses to replace or fix broken personal property are all considered “real” damages.
Your injury attorney must be able to prove that:
- Your damages were a direct result of the accident.
- The incident existed because of the accused party’s negligent behavior.
- The defendant owed you a legal duty or obligation to not act negligently.
If your lawyer is successful in establishing the presence of negligence in your injury claim, you can recover economic damages as well as non-economic damages. You may also be due punitive damages if the defendant’s conduct was particularly negligent or heinous.
What Does a TBI Lawyer Do for My Case?
You’re not required to hire a legal professional to file an injury claim and pursue a settlement payout. However, your chances of having a successful outcome, including getting a compensation award that is fair (or even the maximum amount possible) for your situation, largely increase when you have an experienced injury lawyer overseeing your case. A qualified attorney helps your traumatic brain injury claim by:
- Investigating the details of your case and compiling any relevant evidence. Your attorney can go over the circumstances surrounding the accident that led to your injuries, making certain that no important details are missed. They can also collect any proof to support your case, including eyewitness testimonies, police reports, medical records, security footage, expert witnesses, etc.
- Handling all legal filings, paperwork, procedures, and deadlines. The legal process can often be complicated and overwhelming if you’re not familiar with these proceedings. However, your attorney can keep track of upcoming deadlines, meetings, court appearances, and filing the necessary paperwork. That way, you can focus on recovering and tending to your personal life.
- Negotiating with insurance companies. Insurance companies can often be unwilling to accept fault, compromise, or offer a settlement that’s sufficient for your damages. Your injury lawyer knows how to negotiate with insurers, and they can prevent them from taking advantage of you.
- Being well-equipped to argue on your behalf in court litigation. If your case cannot be settled out of court, an experienced attorney is always prepared to skillfully litigate and represent you in the courtroom.
- Ensuring that you receive fair compensation and that your debts are paid. Upon winning your case, your lawyer can ensure that the insurance company provides your compensation, keeping the money safe while the case is being finalized. They can proceed to use the settlement award to pay your medical expenses and legal fees before giving you the remainder of your recompense.
FAQs
Q: What Is the Foremost Predictor of TBI Outcome?
A: According to the National Library of Medicine, a 2022 study found that TBI patients admitted to the emergency room had poor chances of a positive outcome, particularly if they were:
- Over 65 years old
- Experienced a loss of consciousness to some degree
- Hospitalized for a period longer than five days
Negative outcomes were also more likely if their brain CT scans yielded abnormal findings.
Q: Does Your Personality Change After a Mild TBI?
A: TBI survivors can seem like they have endured personality changes. However, it’s more accurate to say that they’re experiencing temporary behavioral changes, which are likely to improve with time and proper rehabilitative treatment. Changes may include issues with socializing, outbursts, trouble with impulse control, and a lack of self-awareness.
It’s important to remember that survivors are also dealing with the challenging emotional experience of a TBI, feeling upset about their limitations and inability to do what they so easily did before.
Q: What Are Persistent Symptoms After a Mild TBI?
A: Some long-term, persistent symptoms following a mild traumatic brain injury can include:
- Foggy cognition or impaired thinking
- Trouble with social situations
- Difficulties with focusing and concentration
- Issues with recalling memories or retaining short-term memory
- Continuous depression
- Anxiety
- Irritability
Additionally, other persistent effects may include poor time management, sleep problems, and headaches. Many symptoms of a TBI can diminish in severity and frequency over time with proper treatment and various rehabilitative therapies.
Q: What Causes a TBI to Happen?
A: TBIs can happen after:
- Car accidents
- Medical errors
- Falling
- Workplace injuries (e.g., objects falling from above)
- Military combat
- Violence
- Sports-related injuries
Unexpected accidents don’t automatically cause brain damage, but it’s one of the most common forms of personal injury. TBIs that occur because of these situations are especially dangerous, as they often go unnoticed and/or untreated, which can cause worsening symptoms and subsequent health problems.
Q: Can a Mild TBI Affect You Years Later?
A: Yes, mild TBIs can affect you several months or even years later. Lasting symptoms can be physical, cognitive, or behavioral in nature. They may have presented since the beginning of the patient’s recovery or not until after much time has passed. Some signs of brain damage may not be noticeable or attributed to a brain injury for an extended period of time. Most TBI symptoms that last for years can usually be reduced or well-managed through consistent treatment.
