Determining the amount of compensation you will receive for a brain injury is challenging. Every traumatic brain injury (TBI) case is different. Therefore, there is not a standard settlement amount for these types of personal injury claims.
However, there are components that influence how much your brain injury settlement will be. We have outlined some of them in our guide below.
The total compensation you can receive for your brain injury lawsuit depends on a variety of factors. In America, awards for head injuries can exceed $14 million. At Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP, we have won over $50 million for clients who sustained traumatic brain damages.
To ensure you recover damages for all of your physical, emotional and financial damages, hire a legal professional to carefully evaluate your claim and demand fair and reasonable compensation from the liable party (or parties).
Traumatic brain injuries can be mild, moderate, or severe. The severity of your brain injury will impact your total settlement because it dictates your medical treatments, time away from work, and emotional hardships.
For example, someone with a concussion does not need the same type of intensive care that a person with a diffuse axonal injury requires. Therefore, while both parties may be eligible to collect compensation, the diffuse axonal injury will likely warrant a higher settlement.
The total financial and psychological losses you incur dictates how much compensation you can collect from a brain injury claim.
The final settlement should allow you to recover all of your:
A personal injury lawyer will collect evidence to demonstrate the value of your total losses. For example, they may use medical records, pay stubs from your employer, and receipts to illustrate the extent that your injury has had on your life.
Traumatic brain injuries cause financial strains because they prevent you from performing your job safely and returning to work. However, by pursuing a brain injury claim, you can recoup these types of losses.
Missed wages, lost benefits, and future reduced earnings can all be added to your total settlement amount. Therefore, the more time you have to spend away from work, the higher your TBI compensation.

If you decide to file a claim against the person or entity responsible for your head injury, you may be able to recover compensation for any damages you sustained.
The types of damages available in most traumatic brain injury cases include:
If you lost a loved one in a brain injury accident, you may be able to collect compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. These claims allow family members of the deceased to recover damages from the party responsible for their loved one’s death. They compensate for funeral and burial costs, loss of consortium, and any medical expenses leading to the fatality.
Since there is not a set amount of compensation you are entitled to collect in a brain injury case, it’s best to hire a personal injury lawyer to represent your claim.
The liable party or their insurance provider may attempt to deny fault for the accident, preventing you from securing a settlement. Even if they do not deny responsibility, the liable party or their insurance company may attempt to offer you substantially less than your damages are worth. An experienced and dedicated lawyer will fight for you.
