How Much is a Traumatic Brain Injury Worth?
Whether you were in a car accident or a construction accident and suffered a brain injury due to it, our attorneys can help you make the most of your claim. From the start of your case to its conclusion, our goal will be to maximize the value or the worth of your case. Its worth will be based on the damages you have endured because of your accident and traumatic brain injury.

- Past and future medical costs
- Past and future lost wages
- Cost of in-home care
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Lowered enjoyment of life
What are the Three Types of TBI?
The extent of your brain injury and how it is affecting your day-to-day life will dramatically change the potential value of your TBI claim. We can consult with medical experts to get a clear understanding of your brain injury and what sort of assumed costs will be needed to alleviate its worst symptoms or help you live more comfortably.
TBIs are sorted mostly into three types based on their severity:
What Are Some Common Causes of TBI?
TBI may result from a blow to the head occurring in any number of situations, including, for example:
- An auto accident in which you strike your head on the steering wheel or dashboard
- A slip and fall accident in which your head strikes the ground and/or hits an object (e.g., a stair railing or a countertop) as you fall
- A sports-related injury, in which you collide with another athlete.
TBI also may occur in the absence of any blow to the head (think of shaken-baby syndrome). For example, TBI is commonly associated with rear-end collisions and whiplash injuries. The quick and severe whipping motion of the head, forward and then back, causes the brain to hit the inside of the skull, resulting in injury.
