Recoverable Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

According to the New York State Department of Health (DOH), there are over 2,000 TBI-related deaths, 19,000 hospitalizations, and around 112,000 emergency department (ED) visits annually across the state. DOH data from 2012 to 2014 found that the average cost of TBI hospitalizations in New York is more than $55,000, and the average ED visit is nearly $3,000. 

Besides the physical damage, TBIs often have catastrophic financial and emotional impacts. Our lawyers can help you seek compensation from the party responsible for the accident.

You may be entitled to recover financial compensation for: 

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Hospital stays
• Surgeries and medical procedures
• Medical devices and mobility aids
• Physical and cognitive therapy
• Long-term nursing care
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Household services
• Vehicle and personal property damage

If your loved one suffered a fatal TBI, we can also help you seek economic and non-economic damages through a wrongful death case.

Our primary goal is to make sure you recover the maximum compensation that you have the right to recover. Once we are retained, we will:

• Begin a careful and thorough investigation of your case
• Gather and preserve evidence of fault and damages
• File all claims in a timely manner 
• Retain all necessary experts to evaluate your damages and prove your case
• Negotiate on your behalf and ensure that each and every one of your rights is protected  

Our attorneys will help you calculate your damages, including estimating your future medical needs.

Head Injuries Can Affect Your Physical, Mental, & Emotional Health

TBIs are injuries that occur when a jolt or blow to the head damages the brain. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, primary TBIs happen at the time of your accident, while secondary injuries can develop in the days and weeks following your primary injury. 

Depending on the severity and type of TBI you suffer, you may experience a range of physical and cognitive symptoms, including:

• Issues with problem-solving
• Confusion
• Memory problems
• Coma
• Weakness 
• Paralysis
• Problems with balance and coordination
• Difficulty swallowing
• Tremors
• Changes in sensory awareness
• Difficulty speaking and understanding speech
• Difficulty reading, writing, and working with numbers
• Incontinence

TBIs can also cause changes in personality and behavior. Sufferers may experience anxiety, depression, and irritability. They may have trouble interacting with others, interpreting social cues, and forming and maintaining relationships.  

We can help you seek compensation for the full range of consequences a TBI has had on your life.
