TBIs are considered a type of catastrophic injury for the devastating consequences they can impose on a victim’s life. When they are caused by negligence, you can recover compensation through Indiana’s legal system to avoid shouldering the costs of someone else’s negligence.
To do this, first, we need to prove liability and establish negligence. Some of the most common negligence causes of a TBI include:
In personal injury cases, damages refer to the monetary compensation awarded to victims for the losses and suffering caused by someone else’s negligence. Recovering these damages helps alleviate the financial burdens (both economic and non-economic) associated with the injury.
Pursuing legal action in Muncie for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead you to recover the following damages:
Medical expenses compensate you for your injury’s past, current, and future costs. For example, you can get compensated for your hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and ongoing rehabilitation fees.
Compensation for lost wages covers not only the income you’ve already missed if your injury made you incapable of working but also the potential earnings you may lose in the future if you can’t return to your previous job or if your earning potential is diminished.
Beyond the tangible costs, you can also get financial restitution for the pain and suffering endured as a result of the TBI, including physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, loss of enjoyment of life, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
As the spouse of someone who suffered a traumatic brain injury, you can claim loss of consortium. This damage compensates the family for a change in the relationship with the injured person, including loss of companionship and affection.
To have a legitimate personal injury claim following a traumatic brain injury, you must prove that another party’s negligence or recklessness caused your injury. This means your case must show the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that their breach directly caused your injury.
