If someone else was at fault for your injuries, whether in a traffic accident or in some other kind of accident, then you may hold that party responsible for your damages. Initially, you can deal with the other person’s insurance company regarding your claims, but when it comes to TBI, it pays to take no chances. Even with a so-called “mild” TBI, you can suffer serious and long-lasting effects.
You might accidentally agree with the insurance adjuster or other party regarding something that limits the amount you can recover for your damages in a way that favors the other side. To ensure you can recover a settlement (or a judgment at trial) sufficient to cover your medical costs and other damages, retain an attorney early in the process. With experience negotiating with insurance adjusters and in litigating claims, if necessary, an attorney is much less likely than you to agree to a deal that shortchanges your interests and needs.
