The brain remains the most mysterious organ of the human body. Traumatic brain injuries are mysterious as well, with seemingly minor injuries producing the most startling effects. When doctors are unable or reluctant to make clear diagnoses, insurance companies often take it as a free ticket to ignore or minimize your injury, making it absolutely necessary that you do everything possible to document your injury and the auto accident, motorcycle accident, or truck accident that caused it. Get a copy of the accident or incident report, the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any witnesses, and copies of photographs of vehicles involved in the accident.
If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligent or reckless conduct, Tennessee and Georgia law both allow you to recover certain monetary damages that arise from your traumatic brain injury, including:
- Past, Present And Future Medical Bills
- Lost Wages And Diminished Earning Potential
- Pain, Suffering And Mental Anguish
- Punitive Damages For Especially Reckless Or Negligent Conduct
The amount of compensation to which you are entitled depends on many subtle factors, including the severity of your injury, the expense of treatment, the likelihood and level of recovery expected, and your earning potential before and after the accident. To understand the amount of compensation to which you may be entitled, you need to speak with an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer who can weigh all these factors for you.
Your TBI attorney will also be able to ensure that you meet all the legal requirements necessary to file your traumatic brain injury claim. This includes not only filing your claim on time and in the proper court, but fulfilling requirements for evidence necessary to ensure you receive the full level of compensation to which you are entitled.
On the other side of your claim, insurance companies employ investigators and attorneys whose job is to minimize the exposure and liability of the insurance company. They know how much your claim is worth, and they know that the company will give them bonuses if they can reduce payment to you, so they exercise many tactics to diminish your claim. One tactic is asking you a battery of questions, some of them leading and deceptive, to try and get a statement that implies you are responsible for the accident. Another tactic is offering you a seemingly great settlement that is actually far below what you may deserve.
To be sure that you get full compensation for your traumatic brain injury, it is vital that you have your case evaluated quickly by an experienced brain injury attorney who can give you a frank assessment of the claim's value and what must be done to protect that value and your rights.
