About Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur when there is a blow or jolt to the head, causing the brain to essentially shake within the skull. This is a closed head injury. Penetrating brain injuries are also possible, which can occur when objects penetrate the skull and injure the brain. Most people are familiar with concussions, which are among the most mild form of concussion (although concussions could result in severe harm if not treated properly). Depending on the severity of the TBI, affected parties could experience mental, psychological, and physical symptoms. Some TBIs could result in coma and others could even be fatal.
Some of the most common causes of traumatic brain injuries include the following:
- Falls, including slips and trips
- Auto accidents, including car accidents, truck accidents, etc.
- Falling object incidents
- Sports injuries
- Assault and battery
Some of the mild symptoms of TBI include the following: loss of consciousness; confusion; headache; lightheadedness; dizziness; blurred vision; tired eyes; bad taste in the mouth; ringing in the ears; fatigue; trouble with attention, thinking, memory, or concentration; changes in behavior or mood; changes in sleep patterns.
Some of the more severe symptoms of TBI include the following: loss of coordination; weakness/numbness in arms and legs; confusion, agitation, and/or restlessness; slurred speech; pupil dilation; constant worsening headache; vomiting/nausea; seizures; inability to wake up from sleeping.
Although some parties that experience traumatic brain injuries can make full recoveries, some parties have to deal with life-long effects of their brain injuries.
What Affects the Value of Your Brain Injury Case?
The specific value of your brain injury case will depend on a number of details – that is, the details surrounding your accident. Some of the details that could affect the value of your injury claim include the following:
- The type of injury that you suffered (more severe brain injuries will have a higher value than mild brain injuries)
- The extent of your brain injury (how your brain injury has affected your everyday life)
- The permanency of your brain injury (whether you will be able to reach a full recover or whether your brain injury resulted in permanent damage)
- The costs of your medical care (including emergency care, follow-up care, physical therapy, medications, long-term care, etc.)
- The lost income associated with your injury
- The pain and suffering (that is, emotional and mental distress) caused by your injury
These are just some of the factors that could potentially affect the value of your brain injury case. If you are interested in learning more about how the value of your case can be affected – and ultimately determined – do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm immediately.
What is the Average Payout for Traumatic Brain Injury Cases?
Dealing with insurance companies, whether you are dealing with Mercury Insurance, State Farm Insurance, Farmer’s, Uber Insurance, Lyft Insurance, James River insurance, or any other insurance company, is never simple. These insurance companies do not want to pay – even if your brain injury claim is valid. Every time insurance companies pay out a claim, they lose money.
Insurance companies can potentially deny your claim entirely. They could also intentionally lowball your settlement offer to prevent giving you the payout that you are owed. Because of this, it is important that you are familiar with the potential value of your brain injury to ensure that insurance companies do not take advantage of you.
What is the average payout for a brain injury case? You can expect your brain injury lawsuit to be worth at least $100,000. This is the absolute minimum for brain injury cases – which are among the most severe types of personal injury cases. This value is typically associated with minor brain injuries. Moderate brain injury cases can be valued anywhere from $300,000 to $500,000. Severe brain injury cases can be valued above the $500,000 mark and even reach the million-dollar mark. Some brain injury cases surpass the million-dollar value (especially if the brain injury is just one of the injuries that the victim suffered).
Because the value of brain injury cases can vary significantly based on the severity of the injury and other factors surrounding the case, it is important that you have the necessary representation to ensure that you get the highest payout possible.
