Proof of Damages in TBI Cases

Proving damages in traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases goes beyond proving that a TBI occurred. It involves determining the extent of the injury, the costs and losses the client has suffered, and estimating future medical expenses.

The difficulty in doing this comes from the complexity of the brain itself. Effects from damages can manifest immediately, or delay until long after the injury took place. Care and rehabilitation costs can be substantial. The victim's remaining lifetime earnings may be lost, or seriously reduced. Even when the victim is able to continue working, injuries may affect vision, sleep patterns, headaches, irritability, or a variety of behaviors, even inhibition.

Other considerations are current and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment or quality of life, loss of earning capacity, disability or loss of health, or aggravation of a pre-existing injury.

If you or a loved one has suffered traumatic brain injury caused by an accident or malpractice, visit a qualified attorney as soon as possible. The sooner an investigation is initiated, the more information can be recovered thoroughly and accurately to establish your claim.
