Head and brain injuries can potentially change your life forever. Trauma to the head, either penetrative or blunt, can cause significant damage to the brain tissue, including tearing, swelling, and bleeding. The resulting injuries may change the victim’s personality, limit their cognitive abilities, or even render them unable to care for themselves or live independently. In the worst cases, the head injury may trigger dementia, and the injured victim may require lifelong accommodations and treatment in a memory care facility.
At Barney Injury Law, we stand up for the interests of head injury victims and their families. If another person or entity’s negligence caused the injury, they should be held accountable for the harm they caused and the losses you suffered. The material costs of treating a head injury can easily total hundreds of thousands of dollars over the victim’s lifetime. Let a Virginia Beach, VA, head injury lawyer from our firm take the reins for your case, demanding full and fair compensation for all your losses. Call today for a free consultation.
What Does A Virginia Beach Head Injury Lawyer Do?
Head injury attorneys represent injured victims in a civil lawsuit filed against the at-fault party or person (the defendant), citing negligence on the part of the defendant. You have the right to demand fair compensation for all material losses associated with the injury, from immediate medical care, hospitalization, and rehabilitative therapy to the pain and suffering from your injuries and the diminished quality of life most victims experience.
As your legal representatives, our team gathers evidence proving the defendant was negligent and drafted the initial suit, plus all necessary legal motions, to advance your claim. We properly value your claim, so any settlement offer covers current and projected medical care plus a fair sum for your pain and trauma. We may negotiate out of court with the other party or take the case to trial to secure a jury award.
Head Injuries Can Change Your Life
The trauma of a head injury can crack the skull or cause the brain to collide with the interior of the skull, causing brain damage. Depending on the strength of the impact, the damage may range from a mild concussion to severe brain damage and a vegetative state.
Even a mild head injury leaves the victim more vulnerable to re-injury (and each subsequent head injury makes the brain damage progressively worse). Your cognitive abilities could be compromised, impacting your career or education. A settlement for the brain injury can help make up the difference between what you are currently capable of earning and what you would be capable of had the injury not occurred.
