Our Prattville Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Represents Victims and Their Families
Traumatic brain injuries can occur in a wide range of accidents and incidents. When they occur because of someone else’s negligence, they may support a brain injury insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. You should contact our Prattville brain injury lawyer if you or a loved one has the following:
- Auto accident injuries
- Truck accident injuries
- Motorcycle accident injuries
- Pedestrian accident injuries
- Bicycle accident injuries
- Construction accident injuries
- Slip and fall accident injuries
- Other premises liability injuries
Our Prattville personal injury team can build a case to hold the liable party responsible for brain injuries and related damages. However, there are four primary elements necessary to show negligence occurred:
- The liable party owed you a duty of care
- They breached that duty
- Their breach caused the accident
- You suffered harm
Our team will investigate the injury accident to gather evidence demonstrating these four elements and hold the liable party accountable. This includes determining what happened, identifying all potentially liable parties, and documenting the damages suffered, including future care costs.
How You Can Help Prove Negligence in Your Brain Injury Case
You can help us and your case right from the accident scene. You can:
- Take pictures of the accident scene
- Record notes of what you remember
- Ask for contact and insurance information from the other party
- See a doctor immediately and follow their treatment plan
If your injuries prevent you from doing these things, we can step in, but you must call us as soon as possible.

Our Lawyer Understands that Prattville Brain Injuries Affect All Aspects of Your Life
When a resident of Prattville suffers a brain injury, the victim often receives care at Prattville Baptist Hospital. This hospital is well-equipped to deal with most concussions and head injuries in Autauga and Elmore counties. Patients are assessed, treated, and receive follow-up care at this facility, whether they come by ambulance or are brought in by loved ones after an accident.
For those with more moderate to severe injuries, they may be transferred to a higher level trauma center within the Alabama Trauma and Health System (ATHS). This is often done by ambulance or medevac helicopter. These facilities are better equipped to manage catastrophic injuries.
Getting prompt care that provides the level of treatment and support necessary is vital to recovery. According to the Mayo Clinic, moderate or severe brain injuries are different for each victim, but issues can affect:
- Thinking, memory, and learning
- Motor skills, movement, and coordination
- Hearing or vision
- Emotions and moods
- Behavior
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many with moderate or severe traumatic brain injuries still have lasting effects five years later. This includes:
- 57 percent with moderate or severe disabilities
- 55 percent are not employed but were before their injuries
- 33 percent need help with everyday activities, often struggling with self-care, mobility, or independence
What Damages Are Available in a Prattville Brain Injury Claim or Lawsuit?
When our Prattville brain injury lawyer negotiates or litigates your case, the goal is to recover maximum compensation for you based on the expenses and losses you experienced. These damages include a wide range of both economic and non-economic damages.
Some of the types of damages we commonly secure for clients living with lasting brain injuries include:
- Pain and suffering, disability, emotional distress, and other intangible losses
- Medical care for accident injuries, currently and in the future
- Ongoing care and support needs
- Income losses from time missed on the job
- Diminished earning ability based on new disabilities from their injuries
- Property damage repair or replacement
- Related expenses and losses
If you have questions or believe you may qualify, contact our team today. We will evaluate your options and provide an honest assessment of your case.
Will You Need to Sue the Liable Party to Recover Compensation in a Brain Injury Case?
Most Alabama injury cases settle without going to trial. However, some require filing a lawsuit. Only a small percentage go before a judge and jury. Still, we need to ensure we meet the two-year deadline that generally applies for filing the initial complaint in civil court, which is set by AL Code § 6-2-38 for personal injuries.
