Traumatic Brain
Injury

at Wilson, Reives & Doran

If you or someone you love has suffered a traumatic brain injury, you know the enormous emotional and financial impact it can have on a family. In many cases, recovery and regaining balance can take a lifetime, not only for the injured individual but also for his or her family. One moment, your life is normal; the next, it’s abruptly changed.

The brain injury lawyers at Wilson, Reives & Doran understand the delicacy of these kinds of cases and can help you resolve your lawsuit as quickly as possible while you concentrate on your recovery.

Traumatic brain injuries are overwhelming and life-changing, and their effects are often not immediately obvious to the outside observer. The brain is an organ as subtle as it is vital, and what looks to be a minor injury can reveal itself to be devastating if certain portions of the brain are impaired.

What are the symptoms of traumatic brain injury?

In 2010 alone, 2.5 million traumatic brain injuries occurred as either an isolated injury or along with other injuries, according to the Center for Disease Control and Protection (CDC). Caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury, traumatic brain injuries disturb the standard functions of the brain with an intensity that ranges from “mild” to “severe.” Symptoms may appear right away or may not present themselves for days or weeks after the traumatic injury.

What damages can a brain injury lawyer help recover?

While a monetary settlement will not help you heal any sooner, it can go a long way toward helping you cover the cost of recovery. It will also help you move on with life after your accident. A personal injury law firm with experience in brain injury cases may be able to help you claim the following damages:

  • Medical expenses (including rehabilitation and ongoing nursing help)
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of companionship
  • Emotional distress
