How are TBI victims compensated?
The kind of damages that can be awarded to TBI victims differ from case to case as no two injuries are the same. In addition to the medical, hospital and rehabilitation expenses, courts also evaluate the nature and extent of the injury; whether the injury is temporary or permanent; pain and suffering; loss of earnings and impairment of earning capacity; any disfigurement or deformity; mental anguish; and the loss of enjoyment of life. Contacting an attorney at the time of the accident, or as soon as knowledge of a TBI exists, is crucial in ensuring the protection of legal rights associated with TBI injuries.
