Why Head Injuries Demand Swift Action
TBIs Are Shockingly Common
Hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized each year for head and brain injuries, with tens of thousands of fatalities.
Even a mild concussion can lead to long-term physical, emotional, and cognitive repercussions. Delaying medical treatment increases risks and weakens your claim.
Hidden Danger: Delayed Onset of Symptoms
Symptoms such as internal bleeding often appear hours or days later. Immediate medical evaluation is critical, both for your health and for documenting your injuries legally.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much is my case worth?
Compensation depends on your medical expenses, therapies, future care, lost earnings, and severity of injury. Many serious TBIs yield settlements in the tens of thousands to millions.
What factors influence settlement value?
Severity of injury, your age, anticipated future medical needs, insurance coverage, comparative fault, and evidence strength all play roles.
Will my case go to trial?
Many cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial especially when liability is contested.
Can TBI qualify for disability benefits?
If your injury significantly impairs mobility or cognitive functioning for 3+ months, you may qualify under Social Security standards. Mild TBIs may still qualify via medical-vocational allowances.
