If you develop a brain injury, you can sustain serious physical, emotional, and financial damages. However, you may be able to recover compensation for these losses through an insurance claim or lawsuit. Your path to recovery will depend on the circumstances surrounding your injury.
For example, if you are injured in a fall on someone else’s property, you could file a premises liability lawsuit against the owner if a hazard on the property caused your accident. If a dangerous product is responsible for the TBI, you could file a product liability against its manufacturers. Healthcare professionals whose negligent actions cause brain injuries may be liable through a medical malpractice lawsuit.
If you are injured in a car accident, you have multiple options for recovery. You could file a claim under your own personal injury protection (PIP) insurance for medical expenses and other financial losses from your accident, excluding vehicle repairs and pain and suffering damages. In certain circumstances, you could also qualify for a third-party insurance claim or lawsuit against the driver responsible for your collision.
