Call us today or contact us online to find out whether you have a valid TBI claim.

Traumatic Brain Injuries Can Have Lifelong Effects

As Montgomery accident attorneys, we have seen the devastating impact traumatic brain injuries can have on the lives of victims and their loved ones. When a TBI is caused by negligence, the damages in any resulting claim may be high because TBIs can result in a lifetime of medical costs and caretaking expenses.

The victims of TBIs may suffer from symptoms like personality changes, chronic headaches, dizziness, nausea, or seizure disorders. They may have difficulties with memory, attention, concentration, speech/language, planning, reasoning, problem-solving, executive function, and processing speed. This can significantly impact school, work, and managing life skills.

The abrupt onset of disability combined with losing the independence that was previously taken for granted can be overwhelming. With advocacy and support, people living with TBI can still have fulfilling lives, but only if they can afford to get the medical care they need. This may be difficult if you are out of work from the accident. Compensation can cover your costs.

What Is the Average Settlement for a Traumatic Brain Injury Case in Montgomery?

There is no “average” settlement for a traumatic brain injury claim in Montgomery, Alabama. Each case is unique, and so is each settlement or court award. However, some general factors that can impact TBI settlement averages in Montgomery or elsewhere include:

  • The severity of the TBI: Mild TBIs may receive smaller settlements, while moderate or severe TBIs require more extensive medical treatment and have higher long-term impacts, warranting larger payouts.
  • The age of the victim: Younger victims have longer expected lifespans, so awards account for longer durations of required care and higher potential lost future wages.
  • Insurance coverage limits: Awards are often capped by the at-fault party’s insurance policy limits, so cases with insufficient coverage may receive reduced settlements.
  • The ability to prove negligence: Clear negligence and liability helps victims secure larger settlement offers from insurance companies. Complex cases can mean lower payouts.

What Damages Can TBI Victims Recover in a Personal Injury Claim in Montgomery, AL?

There are several types of damages traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims can potentially recover through a personal injury claim, including:

  • Medical expenses: Current and future costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation, assistive devices, home healthcare, etc. can be recovered. These damages are typically the largest component of a TBI settlement.
  • Lost wages: If the injury resulted in missed work, TBI victims could be compensated for lost income either in the past or future if there is a permanent disability.
  • Loss of future earning capacity: Even if you are able to work again, there may be long-term impacts on advancement or tenure that reduce future earning potential.
  • Pain and suffering: Damages can be awarded to compensate for physical and emotional trauma like chronic headaches, cognitive impairment, personality changes, loss of enjoyment of life, etc.
  • Punitive damages: In rare cases where negligence is extreme, additional punitive damages meant to punish the at-fault party can sometimes be recovered.

Working with an attorney helps substantiate evidence of damages to insurance adjusters, like medical records, doctor testimony on prognosis, vocational assessments, etc. Quantifying non-economic damages like pain and suffering is challenging, but Alabama TBI lawyers know how to effectively present those losses.

How Shared Liability Affects TBI Claims in Alabama

Alabama follows pure contributory negligence laws, which means if you are found to be even 1% liable for the accident that caused your traumatic brain injury, you will be barred from recovering compensation. One exception is child victims of TBIs, who cannot be legally considered capable of being negligent in an accident in Alabama.

In states with pure contributory negligence laws like Alabama, having a lawyer prove the other party’s fault in the accident that caused your TBI is critical. When so much is at stake, it’s a good idea to have legal representation that can investigate the circumstances of your accident and prove that the other party is at fault and, therefore, is legally responsible for your compensation.

When Should You Hire a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer in Montgomery?

Hiring a traumatic brain injury (TBI) lawyer is advisable if you or a loved one suffered any level of head trauma in an accident caused by negligence—mild, moderate, or severe. Even mild TBI cases with subtle cognitive or emotional impacts can benefit from legal advocacy for several important reasons:

  • Navigating insurance claims is complex, and TBI survivors need to focus energy on healing rather than battling with insurers looking to minimize payouts. An attorney handles claim negotiations on your behalf.
  • Proving liability and damages often requires specialized legal and medical experts to demonstrate the degree of injury and impact on health, work capacity, and quality of life. Lawyers have the resources to build a strong, evidence-based case.
  • There are short statutes of limitations in Alabama to file injury claims that can easily lapse during early recovery periods where survivors may lack the capacity to pursue legal filings in time. Attorneys protect claim eligibility.
  • Lawyers help coordinate comprehensive lifelong care plans to submit during settlement talks. Securing adequate compensation to fund long-term medical and assistive care costs is critical for the TBI survivor to avoid care gaps or financial crises down the road.

While no lawyer can guarantee a particular settlement result, having counsel can take the pressure off you by making the claims process easier. Protect your rights and focus energy directly on healing by hiring robust legal representation immediately after any accident that is caused by someone else’s negligence.

How Much Does a Montgomery Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney Charge?

Traumatic brain injury victims often face steep hurdles to recovery due to significant medical costs and diminished earnings capacity. The last thing injured victims and families need is the extra burden of hefty legal fees up front. This is why The Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown offers compassionate representation on a contingency fee basis.
