A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden blow, jolt, or penetrating injury disrupts normal brain function. The injury may result from a violent impact or from rapid movement that causes the brain to shift inside the skull.
TBIs fall under three categories:
Many people underestimate head injuries because they don’t come with visible wounds, but even a “mild” concussion can have serious, lasting consequences. Our attorneys understand how to build compelling personal injury claims that provide clear proof of the impact your injury has had on your life.
Brain injuries result from many types of accidents. In many cases, those accidents are caused by someone else’s careless or reckless actions.
Our law firm frequently handles TBI cases caused by:
When someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act causes a head injury, Illinois law allows the injured person to seek compensation. Our lawyers leave no stone unturned when investigating the incident that caused your injury, so we can identify all liable parties and hold them accountable.
Brain injuries don’t always show immediate symptoms. Some people walk away from an accident feeling shaken but relatively unharmed, only to develop serious issues days later.
Common symptoms include:
Severe brain injuries can lead to permanent cognitive impairment or paralysis, frequently requiring lifelong care. These injuries don’t place immense emotional and financial burdens on the victims, but also their loved ones.
Insurance companies often question brain injury claims because many lack symptoms with visible proof. Our attorneys gather strong medical documentation and clear evidence to prove your claim, and then we demand full compensation.
Building a successful traumatic brain injury claim in Chicago begins with you. Take the following steps to protect your rights and strengthen your claim:
If you want to recover your rightful compensation, you need a substantial body of clear and convincing evidence. To gather that body of evidence, our law firm will seek out:
The evidence our lawyers gather will provide a clear depiction of how the at-fault party’s negligence or recklessness caused your injury, and then show the true impact of the injury on your daily life and finances.
When someone else’s negligence causes you harm, you have the legal right to pursue compensation for that harm. That compensation can cover not only financial losses, but also the personal impacts of the injury.
Our law firm will likely seek compensation for the following on your behalf:
Our lawyers work closely with medical and financial experts to assess the physical, emotional, and financial impact of your injury, and then build a compelling claim for maximum compensation.
Under Illinois law, the Illinois personal injury statute of limitations generally requires injury lawsuits to be filed within to years, which makes early legal action important in serious brain injury cases. If you miss this deadline, you will likely lose your right to recover compensation forever.
Remember that evidence can disappear quickly, witness memories can fade, and insurance companies often employ stalling tactics to push you past the filing deadline. Early legal action can protect your rights and allow your attorney to build the strongest claim possible.
