Brain Injury
Head injuries are pretty common. A very serious head injury can have traumatic impact on your brain. What begins as a minor head injury can transform into long-term brain trauma that can change your life forever.
Brain Injury Litigation Claims
Brain injury lawsuits require a plaintiff to objectively prove his or her injury and then demonstrate liability. Since this is the burden on injured party, it is important to ask specific questions and to properly document symptoms and problems.
It is important to pay attention to any physical or emotional changes, like:
- Confusion or memory loss
- Headaches or nausea
- Increase in irritability or depression
- Reduced ability to use faculties, like vision or smell
- Noticeable learning deficiencies
- Sensitivity to light
Your Rights in Brain Trauma Litigation
If your or a loved one’s traumatic brain injury is the result of medical negligence from doctors or other healthcare providers, medical records, MRI or CT scans and other documentation will be required to track how an oversight directly led to a worsening of conditions.
If the injury came from an incident with blunt or penetrating brain trauma, then you will need medically documented MRI or CT scans. Also, it will be important to determine the party liable of your or a loved one’s brain injury.
There are two types of compensation in traumatic brain injury claims: special damages and general damages. Special damages are financial losses for out-of-pocket expenses. General damages are non-financial losses for expenses that are difficult to estimate but still important to calculate.
