Looking at the Basics
In evaluating the accident causing the head injury, the following are factors to consider.
- What caused the accident?
- How did the injury affect your loved one’s health and ability to function both immediately and in the future?
- How will the injury impact the future livelihood of the victim and his or her family?
- What are the costs of medical care and continued therapy?
The cause of the accident will be a guiding factor in whether or not you can file a claim for your loved one’s brain injury. The injury must have been caused by someone else’s negligence. For example, the head injury happened because of an auto accident that was the other driver’s fault or the injury occurred because a store didn’t clean a spill on its floor and failed to indicate the spill on which your loved one slipped and fell, hitting his or her head. Other causes of TBI that are the result of someone else’s negligence can include but are not limited to a head injury inflicted by a gunshot, a work-related accident, assault, and a defective product. If someone you care about has fallen victim to any of these unfortunate circumstances, contact an Illinois and Missouri brain injury lawyer at CofmanTownsley immediately.
How TBI affects your loved one’s physical, mental, emotional, and financial well-being as well as the mental and emotional impact on the family are other important things to be considered in your Missouri and Illinois TBI claim. Any traumatic brain injury, regardless of its severity, places an undo amount of burden on a family and the injured person. A TBI will impose substantial medical bills as well as some lost time from work, if the injured person was of age to be employed. The injury may additionally cause other family members to miss time from work while they are caring for their injured loved one.
A severe TBI can greatly impact the future of the TBI victim as well. Paralysis as a result of nerve damage; hindered abilities to think, reason, solve problems, and remember; compromised hand-eye coordination; difficulty understanding written or spoken language; and personality changes are possible occurrences following a severe TBI. Such conditions can impact the victim’s ability to work and lead a normal quality of life, and can cause emotional scarring.
We know that what you’re facing isn’t fair and that nothing can undo the hardship and heartache you’re going through, but we also know that you can get a sense of justice for the wrong done to your loved one.
