When an individual is involved in an accident due to the negligence of another person, they may be the victim of a traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries can be completely devastating and change a person’s entire life. That being said, when an individual does sustain a traumatic brain injury due to another party’s negligence, they may want to pursue a personal injury lawsuit in an effort to recover damages for the financial and non-financial burdens caused by the accident.
Some of the different damages that may be recoverable after a brain injury include the following:
- The initial visit to the emergency room
- Any surgeries and hospitalization
- Testing such as scans, diagnostic imaging, and more
- Physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy
- Modifications to the individual’s home and vehicle that must be made
- Prescription medication
- Loss of earning capacity
- Loss of wages and benefits
- Psychological counseling due to the emotional aspects of the injury
Not only can an individual seek damages for the financial burdens they face, but also for the non-financial burdens, such as:
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of independence
- Loss of relationship
