Peoria injury attorney assisting those suffering from a traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injuries can occur from various blows to the head. The contact often does not even need to be extreme. Such injuries can result in blurred vision, difficulty with speech, dizziness, coordination problems, and even the loss of motor functions. These types of injuries can mean that the victim may live the rest of their life in a diminished capacity, may or may not be able to return to work, and may require ongoing medical care. When one suffers a TBI as a result of an accident then they may be entitled to past and future lost wages, past and future medical expenses, as well as pain and suffering.
The first thing to do after any blow to the head is to seek immediate medical attention. A step to take soon after to speak with an attorney. Counsel will immediately inform the defendant(s) that you are represented and will demand that any evidence of the incident be preserved. They will then deal with the defendant’s insurance carrier while the victim undergoes medical treatment. Once a victim’s prognosis is reasonably known then a demand for payment will be sent to the insurer. If the insurer is not willing to offer a fair settlement then the case will proceed to litigation which may result in a trial. These types of matters can be highly complicated and will typically involve multiple expert witnesses. Having qualified counsel to assist you can be vital.
