Personal injury cases present serious
legal challenges, and these challenges are difficult
to overcome without an experienced Tampa
personal injury attorney to advise you. Personal
injury cases involving traumatic brain injury are no
exception, as brain injuries are complex, often microscopic
in size, and display different symptoms in every patient.
To receive a fair settlement from a courtroom, your
traumatic brain injury (or TBI) case must: (1) Follow
the law; (2) Be clearly explained so a judge and jury
can understand it; and (3) request enough compensation
to cover medical bills, lost ability to work, and the
potential for more TBI symptoms occurring years down
the road.
During TBI personal injury cases, here
are a few potential difficulties that should be anticipated
by your Tampa brain injury attorney:
Statute of limitations:
The statue of limitations varies from case to case,
but much of the time, you have only 2-4 years to file
personal injury litigation. Statutes of limitations
are the foremost reason why you should consult with
a Tampa personal injury attorney immediately after a
brain injury diagnosis. If you wait to file your case,
you may lose your ability to receive any compensation
for your injury.
Expert witnesses: Closed
head injuries are not well understood by the general
public. A judge and jury will need to learn about your
injury from experts who are able to explain everything
in layperson’s terms. Your Tampa brain injury
attorney at Clark and Martino, P.A., is acquainted with
neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists,
and many more medical experts who can test TBI and give
an accurate, understandable analysis to the courtroom.
Serious future complications:
Years after their initial diagnosis, traumatic brain
injury patients may experience seizures, depression,
post-traumatic stress disorder, and other serious complications.
These complications are often directly caused by the
original traumatic brain injury. A Tampa brain injury
lawyer can help you consider future TBI complications
in your case and settlement.
