The injured party must be the one to take legal action.
However, there are circumstances where someone else can pursue a claim on behalf of the injured party:
Parents or legal guardians can file a TBI claim on behalf of their minor child.
A spouse or other close relative may be able to file a lawsuit if the injured party is incapacitated.
A designated power of attorney may also be able to pursue legal action.
Contact one of our Peoria traumatic brain injury attorneys if you have any questions about your eligibility to file a legal claim for yourself or someone else.
