Traumatic brain injury, or TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury ) , occur when the head is forcefully hit or shook. A mild TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury ) is also known as a concussion. Mild or severe, a TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury ) can leave an accident victim with long-lasting injuries. Many of these injuries are not physical and are not easily noticed by others. The effects of a TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury ) can often be mental, intellectual, or emotional.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation If Suffered a TBI Injury

If you have sustained a TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury ) in a car accident or any other type of accident that was not your fault, you should not be responsible for paying for treatment for your injuries. You also may be eligible for compensation for other damages in addition to your medical bills, such as:

• Pain and suffering. Typically, pain and suffering damages are awarded in proportion to the medical costs you sustained or will sustain.
• Lost wages.
• Loss of earning potential. If you cannot earn as much as you were able to or your career has been put on hold, you can be compensated.

Any insurance settlement or damage award you receive should be enough to compensate you for all of your injuries and all of your medical treatment you will require in the future. It may also be possible that your loved ones who rely on you for support can also be compensated.

An Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer will be able to review your claim and guide you through the complexities of the legal system to help you obtain the maximum compensation.
