What You Need To Know If You Have Suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury

If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), you should not have to shoulder the financial burden on your own and you shouldn’t have to fight an insurance company to get what you deserve. A qualified personal injury attorney specializing in traumatic brain injuries, as well as spinal cord injuries, will have the resources to help you calculate the full spectrum of damages to which you are entitled, such as:

  • Lost wages and earning potential
  • Past and future hospital and medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Physical or occupational rehabilitation services
  • Disability-related expenses
  • Loss of companionship or consortium

Insurance companies will take advantage of people who do not have competent legal counsel. Before you sign papers or agree to a settlement offer, be sure to call Rutter Mills for an in-depth case evaluation.

Traumatic Brain Injury Types and Symptoms

Concussions are often called an “invisible injury,” because they are extremely difficult to detect. MRI and CT scans aren’t able to pick up diffuse axonal injuries, so concussion patients can have strange and debilitating symptoms after a blow to the head, yet their brain scans appear normal.

The following are possible symptoms associated with mild traumatic brain injury:

  • Headache
  • Impaired balance
  • Memory problems
  • Confusion
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Blurred vision
  • Disorientation
  • Unusual drowsiness
  • Problems concentrating
  • Changes in personality

Moderate or severe TBI may occur with penetrating injury, where an object punctures the skull and brain. More serious TBIs can lead to hemorrhaging, blood clots, increased intracranial pressure and disrupted oxygen supply. Without swift medical intervention, severe TBIs can result in coma, permanent neurological damage, or even death.

It’s worth noting that a blow to the head can damage delicate brain tissues without causing loss of consciousness. In other words, concussions, which are common injuries seen in car accidents, can still leave victims with a host of impairments that last for months or years.

THE OPPOSITION

Here’s something the insurance companies don’t want you to know.

One crucial thing to remember in any personal injury claim is the insurance companies, despite their claims, are NOT on your side. They are for-profit businesses whose goal is to pay as little as possible for your injuries.

It is always better to speak with an experienced attorney before discussing your case with an insurance agent. At Rutter Mills, we have lawyers on call day or night to answer your questions and help you in your time of need.

A recent study by Martindale-Nolo showed people who were represented by a lawyer received 4.5 times more on average than those who represented themselves. Many of our attorneys once worked for the insurance companies. They know how they operate and how to beat them.

Insurance companies may pressure you into accepting lowball offers immediately after your accident, but you may not know the full extent of your damages or injuries. Don’t fall for their tricks. Speak to a skilled injury lawyer at Rutter Mills before you take any “deals” from the insurance company.

At Rutter Mills,
every case is a serious case-because it's your case.

Mr. Young and his team exceeded my expectations in the way they handled the case and kept me informed. They got involved with my medical billing issues from the accident and a workman's comp claim. They have resolved the issues with workman's comp. I would whole-heartedly recommend this firm.
