Injuries to The Head and Brain

HOW ARE HEAD AND BRAIN INJURIES DEFINED?

Head traumas are one of the leading causes of injury and mortality in adults. The injury might be as little as a scratch, bruise, or cut on the head, or it could be as serious as a concussion, deep cut or open wound, shattered skull bones, or internal bleeding and brain damage.

A head injury is a blanket phrase that refers to a number of injuries to the head and scalp. Head injuries are often referred to as brain injury or traumatic brain injury, depending on the severity of the head trauma.

HOW MUCH DO YOU RECEIVE FOR A HEAD INJURY?

The amount of compensation you get for a head or brain damage is determined by the following factors:

  1. The gravity of your injury
  2. How has it impacted your life
  3. How much money you have lost or are about to lose (lost earnings)
  4. What kind of care and assistance you need.

 

How can we help?

Each person is unique, and the repercussions of a head or brain damage vary from instance to case. Our brain injury lawyers give a free first consultation to review your case and estimate the amount of compensation you may be entitled to. The advantage of hiring a professional attorney for head injuries is that they have extensive knowledge with this kind of accident and will treat your claim with care in order to get the maximum settlement feasible.

WHAT ARE THE TIME LIMITS FOR FILING A CLAIM FOR BRAIN INJURY?

Generally, claims for head or brain injuries must be brought within three years after the event or occurrence that produced the damage. If you or a loved one has received a head injury, it is critical to seek specialised medical care immediately.

WWHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR FILING A CLAIM FOR BRAIN INJURY?

Brain injuries need medical attention, and intricate litigation might take years to resolve. It takes time to grasp the extent to which you will recover and the amount of money to which you are entitled.

Brain damage lawsuits often proceed in the following stages:

  1. Determine who is to blame for the accident:
    They must first ascertain who is accountable for requesting compensation. We’ll do so by collecting information and contacting the organisation responsible for the accident to request that they accept responsibility for it.
  2. Evaluate your injuries:
    We will consult with trained medical specialists to determine the impact of the injuries on the victim’s life. You will need the assistance of one of our corporate contact managers to ascertain treatment requirements and benefit eligibility.
  3. Rehabilitation:
    If the other party accepts responsibility for the accident, we will pursue an expedited award of compensation. This financing would assist in the implementation of further recovery. Once you have completed your rehabilitation, we will determine the total amount of insurance you need.
  4. Examine your injuries after rehabilitation:
    We’ll consult with medical professionals to re-evaluate your injuries and provide an update on your progress. This will provide us with a more complete picture of your future requirements.
  5. Determine compensation:
    We need time to ascertain the exact amount you will get in order to guarantee you are not undercompensated for your injuries. How much compensation you get will be determined by the four elements listed above and your earnings loss.
  6. Out of court hearings or court trials:
    While the majority of cases are resolved out of court, a court charge is almost always necessary. The debate is monitored by filings with the court and must adhere to a predetermined schedule. If your issue requires judicial intervention, our seasoned lawyers are available to assist you.
  7. Final compensation:
    You get money; but, how you receive it is contingent upon your ability to manage your financial affairs. To help you manage your money more effectively, we will provide you with professional investing advice. If you or a family member is unable to manage their financial affairs, our Court of Protection department may help.
