SKilled Attorneys Getting Compensation for Victims Suffering Traumatic Brain Injuries as a Result of a Motor Vehicle Accident or the Negligence of Others
Very few injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents can be as debilitating or life-changing as trauma to the head or brain. The long-term effects of head trauma or brain damage can be difficult to assess in the days and weeks immediately following a car or truck collision. That’s why you must involve the services of a personal injury attorney with the experience and resources that are necessary to obtain an accurate assessment of your prognosis and the monetary damages to which you are entitled. The personal injury attorneys of Silver Law Group focus on injuries resulting from car, truck, and motorcycle crashes, including damage to the head and brain. Contact one of our New York offices to schedule an initial consultation with a member of our personal injury team.
Traumatic Brain Injuries and Head Wounds
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are common in even moderate car, truck, and motorcycle crashes. Even the top neurosurgeons in New York state have a difficult time determining the extent of brain and head damage, how fast an accident victim will recover, and to what extent he or she will be able to resume living a full and normal life. These are, however, some of the factors that are used to determine the appropriate amount of a legal settlement or a jury award. To make a full and fair recovery from your accident injuries, your attorney needs to be able to interact with your physicians and access your medical records to determine the extent and nature of your condition. At Silver Law Group, our personal injury attorneys work with teams of medical specialists who are familiar with what is required to successfully pursue damages for a car or truck accident. Once our medical experts can determine the extent of our client’s head or brain damage and the timeframe for a full or partial recovery, our attorneys can determine a settlement amount that will fully compensate the client for his or her medical expenses, lost wages, diminished capacity, and pain and suffering.
Calculating a Settlement for Brain and Head Injuries
Unfortunately, many car accident victims who sustain head injuries and TBIs never fully recover. If that’s the case, the settlement should be commensurate with the life-altering event that the victim has suffered. Among the factors included in calculating an insurance settlement are:
- Medical expenses
- Lost Wages
- Estimated recovery time
- Reduction of physical and mental capacity
- Emotional trauma
- Physical pain
To reduce the settlement amount, insurance companies and their attorneys will often try to minimize the severity of the damages caused by a head injury or TBI. As a former defense lawyer for large insurers, attorneys at Silver Law Group are familiar with the tactics of car and truck insurers. This experience is a tremendous benefit when negotiating settlements.
