A brain injury can cause many difficulties in your life. It may, for example, prevent you from working, which may lead to immense financial losses as you recover. In addition, you may suffer several complications to your personal life, including substantial loss of independence. Talk to your lawyer about the losses you have faced and how you can best include them as part of an injury claim. While your financial losses will often serve as the foundation of your claim, you can also pursue compensation for the non-financial losses related to your injuries.
