How Long Should It Take To Complete A Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit?

Many people have heard of traumatic brain injuries in the context of discussing harm sustained by military members overseas. The injuries in these cases are often caused by an explosion that causes a violent vehicle accident or other impact on the victim’s head. However, what many Americans do not understand is that traumatic brain injuries are a growing concern here in the United States. There will be nearly 3,000,000 new traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, suffered in the country this year. Of those who suffer these injuries, about half a million of them will become permanently disabled, and nearly another hundred thousand will experience long-term disabilities.

What Causes A TBI?
The term traumatic brain injury is typically referring to harm that is inflicted on the brain due to an external force. The force might have been created during a vehicle accident, a significant fall upon the head making contact with the ground or another solid object, or a sudden jolt. In all of these instances, the body suddenly shift and likely comes to an abrupt stop causing the brain to move inside the skull. The impact with the skull causes the damage to the soft matter of the the brain.

An alarming trend in TBI incidents has been found related to the elderly and falling. Many TBI incidents happen when elderly patients are in care facilities or hospitals. In a study conducted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders, the rate of these seniors falling is an upsetting 1.5 incidents each year per bed that is designated for elder care. Loved ones are often distraught to learn that while in the care of medical staff or an eldercare facility, their loved one still suffered a fall and sustained a TBI.

Common Signs, Symptoms, And Results Of A Traumatic Brain Injury
Every aspect of your physical being and mental capacity is under the control of the brain. When this very vital organ suffers an injury, the results can be seen in any or all aspects of your personality and body. The tragic indications of a TBI and the result of this harm can include:

• Blackouts
• The inability to create new memories
• The inability to speak or process language
• Mental fog or confusion
• Difficulty thinking, concentrating, or understanding
• The inability to recognize familiar items
• Out of place or unusual fits of crying or other emotional outbursts
• Impulsive action
• Irritability
• Dizziness
• Mood swings
• Anxiety or anger
• Headaches
• Blurred vision
• Balance difficulties
• Ringing in the ears
• Loss of the sense of smell
• Sensitivity to sound or bright light
• Stiff muscles

It is critical to understand that not all victims will suffer all of these issues or even the majority of them. Every victim’s body will react differently to the trauma and can face varying degrees of difficulty with these and other brain injury-related challenges. While one victim will face only mild issues, another could become nearly incapacitated and require full-time care and monitoring. If you or a loved one has sustained a TBI, please contact Kenmore Law Group to discuss the incident that caused the TBI and how our experts can assist you in securing any compensation owed to you for the harm suffered due to someone else’s negligence.

How Much Is The Average Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit Compensation?
Unfortunately, much like the desire to understand how long it could take to resolve a TBI lawsuit, determining the value of the case is also a bit more complex than using a sliding scale or looking up a preassigned value. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated, and the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim are used to establish the compensation amount. Working closely with your Kenmore Law Group legal staff, you will compile all documentation to verify your allowable expenses. The items typically used in calculating the value of a traumatic brain injury lawsuit include but are not always limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident that caused the injuries
• Your lost income if the harm from your TBI prevented you from working at your regular job until you make a complete recovery
• All current and projected future medical costs related to the treatment and rehabilitation of the TBI
• The cost of all legal services related to the preparation, filing, and litigation of your traumatic brain injury lawsuit

In cases that involve severe harm and a possibly lengthy recovery, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for the pain and suffering created by the injuries they sustained. As this is not a documented expense like your medical bills or lost income, you will turn to your Kenmore Law Group legal team to guide you in selecting a fair and reasonable amount for this aspect of the compensation for your TBI lawsuit. In turn, your Kenmore Law Group traumatic brain injury attorney will review recently resolved cases with similar injuries and details to ensure you are seeking the most robust amount for all that you have endured.

How Much Time Do I Have To File A TBI Lawsuit?
In most cases, a personal injury victim such as yourself is given two years from the date of the injury incident to file their case with the court. This time limit is strictly enforced, and if the case is not filed before it expires, the victim will lose the right to seek compensation and justice for the TBI they suffered due to that incident. Please also know that there are very few exceptions that would provide a TBI injury victim with additional time to file a lawsuit once the original time limit has passed. Please contact Kenmore Law Group today to discuss the facts of your injury incident and the time remaining to file a claim to secure any compensation owed to you for the harm caused by another person’s negligence.
