Brain Injury FAQ
Seek immediate medical attention even if symptoms seem minor, as brain injuries can worsen over time. Document everything: take photos of the accident scene, gather witness information, and keep detailed medical records. Contact our brain injury attorneys as soon as possible to protect your legal rights, as evidence can disappear quickly and insurance companies may try to minimize your claim.
A TBI case arises when someone suffers brain trauma due to another party’s negligence, such as in motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, construction accidents, or premises liability incidents.
Symptoms include persistent headaches, confusion, memory problems, dizziness, nausea, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating. Some symptoms may not appear immediately after an accident.
We work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners to document the extent of your injuries through medical testing, cognitive assessments, and comprehensive medical records analysis.
In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, but exceptions may apply when the full extent of brain damage isn’t immediately apparent.
We handle brain injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. This allows brain injury victims to access experienced legal representation without upfront costs. We also advance all case expenses, including medical expert fees and investigative costs, so you can focus on your recovery while we build the strongest possible case.
Yes. Brain injury cases involve complex medical evidence, insurance company tactics, and long-term care planning that requires specialized legal expertise to secure proper compensation.
Compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, home modifications, assistive devices, and loss of quality of life damages.
Cases typically take 12-36 months, depending on the severity of injuries, medical treatment duration, and insurance company cooperation. We never rush settlement negotiations that could shortchange your future needs.
We can work with family members, guardians, or conservators to protect the legal rights of brain injury victims who cannot make decisions due to cognitive impairments.
