For those who suffered or lost a loved one due to preventable hypoxic or anoxic brain injury, pursuing a legal case could significantly improve your future. A legal settlement or damages award could help cover:
Medical bills for care required to manage the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury
Lost income, wages, and work-related benefits like health insurance coverage
Pain and suffering both physical and psychological
Punitive damages charged to punish the negligent party, funds which may then be awarded to you
Wrongful death expenses for funeral costs, lost of financial support, and loss of companionship for surviving loved ones
Brain injuries are some of the most devastating and enduring conditions. The long-term changes can be overwhelming for both the injured person and their families, friends, and colleagues. In many ways, life after a TBI never again returns to the life you had before.
The economic settlement that a brain injury lawsuit can secure could mean a better health outcome for the patient. It could also mean important help for those around the injured person, so they can be there for moral support without being drained emotionally or financially.
It takes a team to recover after a traumatic brain injury, and the damages awarded for your case could help support that team.
