What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption of normal brain function due to trauma. It’s something that can occur in a single incident or over multiple events, rather than resulting from a disease or chronic condition. TBI causes neurological disruptions that can be physical, mental, or emotional.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury may include the following:

  • Concussion
  • Skull fracture
  • Piercing the skull, penetration
  • Brain bruise
  • Diffuse axonal injury
  • Chronic traumatic encephalopathy
  • Loss of consciousness

Sometimes, a person with a serious brain injury looks to have no issue. Injuries can be subtle, such as irritability or cognitive difficulties, but severe. Changes in the brain may also be more obvious, such as a loss of consciousness.

The Law for Brain Injury Compensation in West Virginia

A brain injury victim may deserve compensation. Several elements are important when determining if compensation may be due.

  • A claim may be based on negligence, or a lack of reasonable care, even if the accident was unintentional.
  • The victim must prove that the accident caused their injuries.
  • The victim must prove how much compensation is appropriate based on damages allowed by law.
  • Economic and non-economic damages may be paid.
  • Brain injury claims often include future damages, with significant compensation for mental injury and lifestyle impact.
  • To formally start a claim, a victim must file their case in court.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know whether I have a case?

You have a case if you’re injured and someone else has legal fault for what occurred. You must be able to gather facts to prove the liability of the other party. Intentional harm is not required. In fact, most cases are based on negligence or careless behavior that creates an unreasonable risk of harm. At your case consultation, our lawyers can explain whether you have a case and the reasons for our opinion.

How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?

In West Virginia, you have two years to file most personal injury lawsuits. However, there are some exceptions. Two years can seem like a long time, but you need to investigate, build and prepare your case. Always contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

How will my lawyer determine the value of my case?

A lawyer will determine the value of your case by evaluating the losses that you have because of the injury. Then, they compare them to the types of losses that a victim may claim under the law. Other factors may affect your case value, too, like the ability to collect compensation, comparative negligence and the strength of the proofs in your case.

What steps should I take immediately after an injury to protect my rights?

To protect your rights after an injury, get medical attention without delay. Do what you can to prevent additional harm. Don’t discard anything related to the accident like torn clothing. If you can, take photos of the accident scene and your injuries. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
