Traumatic brain injuries are often underdiagnosed at the beginnings of treatment from a car accident, motorcycle accident, trucking accident, or a slip and fall accident.

Sometimes insurance companies try to capitalize on this situation by trying to ignore traumatic brain injuries.

The problem with traumatic brain injuries is that they can last a long time, be difficult to diagnose, and cause a considerable impact on people’s daily living. Medical insurance carriers can sometimes be skeptical about traumatic brain injury treatment. You need attorneys experienced in working on traumatic brain injury cases who can help you with your medical insurance carrier.

The key to handling traumatic brain injuries is getting proper medical treatment. Proper medical treatment can require testing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, treatment with eyesight difficulty, and treatment with headaches. When concussions are combined with other severe injuries, sometimes the other injury gets the attention.

Students can find it difficult to study. People can find it difficult to work. Many of us work on computer screens, and that can cause significant problems for people who have traumatic brain injuries. It causes lost time from work, and it can cause anxiety and depression about what will happen in one’s life going forward as a result of such an injury. These kinds of injuries are also not easy to track, in terms of when exactly someone might get better. They take a long time. You might be over the whiplash part of your injury, but if you struck your head while you were in an automobile accident, a traumatic brain injury can cause pain and suffering for a long time.

It also can be extremely inconvenient for people to engage in these therapies for extensive lengths of time when they have lives, families, and jobs to manage.

Traumatic brain injuries can be tragic, and they can devastate people for the rest of their lives. These types of injuries need to be properly valued.

    No. Our law firm offers free case evaluations to everyone in New Hampshire and throughout New England—it costs you nothing to meet with us to learn more about how lawyers and so we can learn more about you and your case.

  • What do I do after an accident?

    If you’ve been injured in an accident, whether it’s a car crash or after slipping on a wet surface, your priority should be getting medical attention for your injuries—even if your injuries are minor or you’re not feeling any immediate pain. From there, we recommend documenting as much of your accident as possible, from taking photos of the property damage to gathering witness contact information, and then calling our firm to get started on your case. We can begin investigating your accident quickly to ensure important evidence doesn’t disappear over time.

  • How is a wrongful death claim different from a personal injury claim?

    Victims of accidents who survive can file personal injury claims, but when they die in their accidents or later pass away from their injuries, their surviving family members or those who were financially dependent on them can file wrongful death claims. Wrongful death claims can recover most of the damages that personal injury claims recover, including medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, but they can also recover some of the damages the family members incurred, including funeral and burial bills and loss of companionship.

  • What should I say if an insurance adjuster calls me?

    Shortly after an accident, you may receive a phone call from an insurance adjuster. While they may sound nice and say they simply want to understand what happened, insurance adjusters often try to coax certain statements from you so they can limit the amount of liability that falls on their insured. It’s important to get legal representation as soon as possible so your lawyer can handle these calls and you don’t have to risk saying something that may harm your case.

  • How long do I have to file my personal injury claim?

    It’s important for victims to know that they don’t have all the time in the world to file a personal injury lawsuit. The amount of time you have to file a claim depends on the state where the accident and injuries occurred. For example, New Hampshire’s statute of limitations is three years, meaning victims have three years from the date of injury to file a claim successfully. Hiring a personal injury attorney can be beneficial because they understand their state’s various laws, including those governing filing deadlines.
