Understanding Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are complex and can have wide-ranging effects on a person’s physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. These injuries occur when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain, often resulting from a violent blow or jolt to the head. The severity of a TBI can vary greatly, from mild concussions to severe injuries that cause long-term disability or death. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over time, including headaches, confusion, memory problems, mood changes, and difficulties with concentration and balance. It’s important to note that no two brain injuries are identical, and the recovery process can be unpredictable. Even a seemingly minor head injury can have serious, long-lasting consequences, which is why prompt medical attention and proper legal representation are crucial for anyone who has suffered a TBI due to someone else’s negligence.

They can result from various incidents, including:

The effects of a brain injury can be far-reaching, impacting cognitive function, emotional well-being, and physical abilities. In severe cases, victims may require lifelong care and support.

Our brain injury lawyers specialize in cases involving head trauma and its consequences. Our unique skills and knowledge make us invaluable allies for brain injury victims and their families.

Case Evaluation and Investigation

Our brain injury lawyers begin by thoroughly evaluating your case. We investigate the circumstances surrounding the injury, gather evidence, and consult with medical experts to understand the full extent of the damage and its long-term implications.

Determining Liability

Identifying the responsible party (or parties) is crucial in brain injury cases. Our lawyers work diligently to establish liability, whether it’s a negligent driver, a property owner who failed to maintain safe conditions or a medical professional who made a critical error.

Calculating Damages

Brain injuries often result in substantial financial burdens. We will help quantify both current and future damages, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages and earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Long-term care needs

Negotiation and Litigation

We are adept negotiators, often securing fair settlements without going to trial. However, if a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached, we will take your case to court and advocate vigorously.

A brain injury can change your life in an instant, but you don’t have to face its aftermath alone. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence, don’t hesitate to call us. Let our compassionate brain injury lawyers at Schierer & Ritchie fight for the compensation you need to move forward.
