If you have been in a car accident, there may be more than one party responsible for your damages. If you settle with a party who injured you, but your damages increase, you cannot reopen a case you settled. You may find additional relief available if more than one party injured you.
Traumatic brain injuries are common. In recent years, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 2.87 million people suffered from traumatic brain injuries. The effects of traumatic brain injuries include an estimated 13.5 million people with long-term and permanent disabilities, 300,000 hospitalizations across the country, and death. Thirty-four percent of people who suffered from traumatic brain injuries succumbed to them.
