Have You Suffered a Brain Injury Due to Someone Else’s Negligence?

If you’ve been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.  Negligence occurs when someone fails to act with reasonable care, causing harm to another person. This could include situations such as:

  • A car accident caused by a distracted or drunk driver
  • A slip and fall accident on a poorly maintained property
  • A workplace accident due to unsafe working conditions

If you believe your TBI was caused by someone else’s negligence, it’s essential to speak with an experienced Wisconsin brain injury lawyer.

Common Questions About Brain Injury Cases

The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine defines a traumatic brain injury (or TBI) as one where a person has had a traumatically induced physiological disruption of brain function, manifested by at least one of the following: any loss of consciousness; any loss of memory for events immediately before or after the accident; any alteration in mental state at the time of the accident; or focal neurological deficits.

Traumatic brain injury can be caused by being struck in the head, or the head striking an object, or the brain undergoing an acceleration/deceleration movement, such as whiplash, without any direct external trauma to the head.

Car accidents, falls, sports injuries, and assaults are common causes of TBIs.

You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

TBIs can cause long-term physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. A risk of long-term complications or degenerative brain diseases can significantly impact your claim, and a lawyer can help you protect your rights and pursue the full compensation you deserve.

If you were diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after an accident caused by another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. This could include distracted driving, drunk driving, and defective products. It’s best to consult an experienced TBI lawyer to determine if you have a case.

The amount you can sue for depends on many factors, including the severity of the injury, medical expenses, lost income, and long-term effects.

Compensation in TBI cases varies widely depending on the severity and potential risks of the injury. Our experienced brain injury attorneys will thoroughly assess your situation to ensure you receive the maximum compensation you deserve.

Traumatic brain injury lawyers, advocacy organizations (like the Brain Injury Association of America), and medical professionals advocate for individuals with brain injuries.

Understanding average settlements for TBIs is crucial when facing the daunting financial impact of these injuries. In California, they can soar to $1.6 million, while milder cases might bring in $20,000 to $80,000.

The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) is the voice of brain injury. They are dedicated to increasing access to quality health care and raising awareness and understanding of brain injury through advocacy, education and research.

If you feel that you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury in an accident, our lawyers are here to help you.

Calculating the Cost of a TBI in Wisconsin

To ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve under Wisconsin law, it’s crucial to work with an experienced brain injury attorney.

Calculating the true cost of a TBI is a complex process. Our skilled lawyers will meticulously document the impact of your injury on all aspects of your life, including:

  • Lost income and earning potential: We’ll work with economists to calculate your lost wages and future earning capacity.
  • Medical expenses: We’ll gather all medical records and bills to ensure all current and future medical costs are accounted for.
  • Pain and suffering: We’ll present evidence of your physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish to seek appropriate compensation for your non-economic damages.
  • Impact on daily life: We’ll document how your TBI has affected your ability to work, perform daily tasks, engage in hobbies, and maintain relationships.

We're Here to Help with your TBI case. Let's talk.

Contact us and we’ll partner you with one of our experienced, compassionate brain injury lawyers to go through your situation in detail. As we’ve worked with clients who have suffered both severe and subtle symptoms from traumatic brain injuries, we’re ready to figure out if you have a case.
