How Do I Know If I Need a Lawyer After an Accident?
If your accident involves a serious Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and someone else caused your accident, it’s a good idea to go over your case with a skilled attorney. Victims often have to demand full support from those at fault so they don’t have to pay for their own medical care
High medical bills and lengthy brain injury rehabilitation send insurance companies looking for ways to reject your claim. They may try to blame you for your accident or claim your brain injury isn’t as bad as your medical chart indicates. Your lawyer fully investigates your incident and collects powerful evidence to make sure at-fault parties and their insurers can’t escape responsibility. Then your lawyer demands the maximum in compensation available so you can pay your medical bills and rebuild your life.
Traumatic Brain Injury Risks
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are caused by a blow suffered to the head or a penetrating wound that goes into the brain. They affect the brain’s ability to function and control the body.
The CDC reports that TBIs are usually caused by one of the following types of accidents:
- Falls
- Assaults
- Firearm injury
- Car accidents
A simple slip-and-fall mishap caused by a puddle left on the floor at Safeway could lead to a TBI. The victim’s head may strike a shelf or smack the hard floor, to cause a concussion (a mild form of TBI). Victims in car accidents are also prone to striking their heads on a steering wheel, a dashboard, a seat, or a door and suffering a brain injury. A careless driver on Blacow Road can smash into the rear end of a victim’s car to cause a devastating TBI for the occupant inside.
Victims of TBI will have trouble reasoning and retaining memories. Their brains may struggle to send proper signals to parts of the body. Sight and hearing might also suffer damage. Their emotions and moods could become unpredictable.
Care for victims will be enormously expensive. A Fremont Traumatic Injury Lawyer ensures you receive support to last as long as necessary, and over a lifetime if that’s what’s required.
What Should a Traumatic Brain Injury Settlement Check Cover?
With a long-term injury or even a permanent physical disability, care must extend for as long as necessary. A settlement must also help cover the lifestyle changes a patient could experience. That includes the physical therapy most patients need to relearn to walk and control their limbs.
The patient could need nursing home care or part-time or full-time home care. Renovations at the home could also be necessary to give patients as much freedom as possible. Medical equipment may be a lifelong expense for patients and their families. Victims could also need career support if they can no longer return to their previous jobs. They might need money to pay for college courses and new career training.
Your Maison Law Accident and Injury Lawyers of Fremont will make sure you and your family are covered for as long as necessary. Your lawyer will also seek support for factors you may not have realized could earn you additional compensation.
- Money to pay every hospital bill now and in the future
- A lifetime of support for a permanent physical disability

- Support for the physical pain victims endure
- Support for the emotional trauma victims must suffer through
- Past and future lost income and benefits while you miss work
- Estimates on lost earning capacity from a permanent disability
- Damage or destruction of property
- Wrongful Death Benefits
The victims of serious TBIs can tragically face a shorter lifespan. Family members mourning the loss of a loved one due to an accident can also seek support from at-fault parties. They should receive money to help with funeral costs and leftover medical fees. Close relatives should also get help facing the future when they are without the emotional and financial support the deceased can no longer provide.
