Our Flint Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys Understand the Costs of Managing a TBI
Traumatic brain injuries can be catastrophic as it affects aspects of your life. Even for those who recover significantly from their initial injury, it can take months or even years to return to many of their previous activities and abilities.
Medical bills and rehabilitation are expensive, but so are adaptive tools, mobility tools, and renovations to make your home accessible. Our attorneys will work with you to identify and document your full range of recoverable damages and seek compensation for them.
Some commonly recoverable damages in TBI accident cases in Flint include:
- Medical bills, including treatment, inpatient care, therapies, and rehabilitation
- Treatment-related costs, including mobility aids and medications
- Future and ongoing care and support needs
- Income losses while you are out of work
- Diminished earning ability if they cannot return to their previous work
- Related out-of-pocket costs
- Non-economic, intangible losses, including pain and suffering damages and emotional anguish
Every TBI case is unique, so we will thoroughly examine your losses to make sure you are justly compensated for the emotional, mental, physical, and financial losses you’ve suffered.
What If My Loved One Cannot Make the Call on Their Own?
If your loved one’s TBI prevents them from connecting with our team, we can speak to a spouse, parent, caregiver, or power of attorney about the legal options.
We also handle wrongful death cases. Our Flint wrongful death lawyer will build a case and seek compensation for your family if your loved one died from a brain injury following a Flint negligence accident.

Our Flint Lawyers Know How Serious TBIs Can Be for Victims
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported approximately 214,110 traumatic brain injury hospitalizations in 2020 and 69,473 related deaths in 2021. Nationwide, this is more than 586 TBI-related hospitalizations and 190 deaths each day.
When a brain injury occurs in Flint, the victims generally get care at the nearest hospital equipped to manage the severity of their injuries. Flint is home to two designated trauma centers that could treat serious brain injuries:
- Hurley Medical Center, a Level I trauma center
- McLaren Flint, a Level III trauma center
When someone suffers serious deficits following a head injury, they need a comprehensive TBI program that includes physical therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and occupational therapy. These programs give those with the most significant injuries the best chance of recovery and reintegration into daily life.
A TBI Is a Possibility for Many Accident Victims
A TBI can occur in many settings and in almost any type of negligence accident. Our lawyers commonly see head trauma in cases based on:
- Car accidents
- Truck crashes
- Motorcycle collisions
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Slip and falls and other premises liability injuries
- Construction accidents

Let Our Flint Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Build a Convincing Case
When you trust our Flint injury lawyers with your traumatic brain injury case, you have access to our extensive experience and resources. We work to build the most convincing cases possible to recover maximum compensation for our clients.
To hold the at-fault party accountable, we must show they acted negligently. This requires us to show that their careless or reckless actions led to the accident and injuries. This is possible through a thorough investigation.
The evidence in these cases can differ widely. In addition to proving negligence and liability, we need to document your brain injury and how it affects your life and your future. Evidence in these cases could include:
- Video of the accident or incident
- Relevant medical records
- Expert assessment of your injuries, prognosis, and future care needs
- Official reports, such as a crash report following an accident
- Eyewitness statements
- Accident reconstruction
- Testimony from other experts as needed
- Documentation of your damages
We negotiate or litigate brain injury cases to secure the money our clients need. Settlements are common, but we prepare each case like a lawsuit and jury trial might be necessary. This puts us in the best position to proceed if it becomes necessary.
When Should I Call a Flint TBI Lawyer About My Case?
Contact our team as soon as your injuries allow you to make the call or when you recognize your loved one cannot reach out to us on their own.

Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.5805, most people have up to three years to sue based on their personal injury or a wrongful death. However, different deadlines exist under some circumstances. This could include if you need to sue to recover money based on a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance claim or if the liable party in your case is a government employee or entity.
As long as we are aware of your case and have time to do so, we will ensure you meet all necessary deadlines.
