How H&P Law Can Help Your Traumatic Brain Injury Case
Being injured due to someone else’s negligence may feel like you are due automatic reparations for your pain and suffering, among other damages. This entire process requires a significant amount of work that a Summerlin traumatic brain injury attorney does for a living:
- Filling out and filing paperwork for you – all of the details, stipulations, and deadlines can be a lot to deal with when still recovering, so we can take care of this work for you
- Talking to insurance companies – the first offer from an insurance company is likely not the best option, so let us handle conversations with insurance companies
- Building and arguing your case – knowing what evidence to get, how to get it, and how to present it so that we get a good settlement takes a lot of know-how that we have
- Your personal legal guide – even if you have gone through court before, you may still have a lot of questions that we are glad to answer
This help can start today if you take advantage of a free consultation with a Summerlin personal injury lawyer. You will not have to pay us a single cent until we win, so talk to us with the peace of mind that any financial troubles you have will not worsen when you hire us. We are standing by, ready to represent you when you need it the most.
The Severe Impacts of Traumatic Brain Injuries
When it comes to a traumatic brain injury (TBI), there is nothing to take lightly or leave unaddressed. So many aspects of life are affected by the various symptoms of TBI. It can affect almost any bodily or cognitive function that we would normally use in our daily lives:
- Impaired speech
- Mobility issues
- Cognitive impairment
- Memory loss or problems with memory retention
- Sensory loss
- Loss of fine motor functions
- Blindness
- Organ dysfunction
Simple tasks like moving from a chair to the restroom, eating, talking, or standing up can all become difficult things requiring long-term services and support to get through the day. Talk with your traumatic brain injury lawyer in Summerlin about the different ways your life has been affected by your accident to better help determine what damages to sue for.
H&P Law Can Help You Recover Damages
Any damages we seek to recover from the liable party will need to overcome the burden of proof in a Nevada personal injury case with substantial evidence. The evidence may tell us what we have the best shot at, but we can also start with what damages can be recovered in a personal injury case, like ones we have seen before, and go from there:
- Medical expenses
- Mental health care
- Pain & suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of wages
- Loss of ability to generate income
- Lowered quality of life
- Mental and emotional anguish
- Disfigurement
- Permanent disability
There may be more than just the ones listed here that apply to your situation. We also do not have to choose just one, so talk with us about your life since your accident. In extreme cases of provable malice, we can turn any of these into compensation, even punitive damages under NRS § 42.005.
Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries can come from all kinds of incidents, whether it’s a vehicular accident, a slip and fall, a sports injury, or an altercation. Anything resulting in severe brain injuries can count, and your Summerlin traumatic brain injury lawyer wants to make sure you know that you may have a case even if you think comparative negligence in Nevada may lower your compensation for your partial fault.
Vehicular Accidents
Car accidents, truck accidents, bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents, and traumatic brain injury can appear together quite often. The speed, directions, and open exposure can all play a part in them resulting in your brain being injured.
Slip and Falls
Slipping and falling leaves you vulnerable to your head hitting anything nearby. Any part of your head may also be vulnerable, which could heighten the severity of the injuries if the wrong spot ends up as the center of impact.
Sports Injuries
Hard objects flying around at high speeds, people hitting each other, and failing safety equipment can all contribute to a traumatic brain injury stemming from being involved in or around sports. You do not have to be a participant for it to be legal to sue if you are injured at a sports arena or field.
Intentional Harm
Someone may specifically try to harm you. If they can land any blows to your head or knock you down so your head hits something, there may be a case for punitive damages and even criminal charges that a criminal prosecutor can pursue.
