How We Prove Liability for a Traumatic Brain Injury
We will investigate the accident that caused your TBI and prove that another party’s negligence led to your injury. Negligence is based on the following four elements:
- Duty of care – The duty of care is the legal obligation to act reasonably and avoid harming others.
- Breach of duty – A breach of duty occurs when someone breaks the law, acts in a way most others would not find necessary or reasonable, or fails to act when required. For example, drivers breach the duty of care when they disobey traffic laws, drink and drive, or drive distracted.
- Causation – Causation links the liable party’s breach of duty to your injury. We prove causation using evidence, such as police reports, eyewitness statements, medical records, and expert testimony.
- Damages – Damages establish your right to recover compensation by showing you sustained financial losses, pain, and suffering because of your TBI.
Our Livonia Attorneys Can Answer Your Brain Injury FAQs
How Much Compensation Can I Get for a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Every personal injury case is different. The amount of compensation you can get for a TBI will depend on factors unique to you, including:
- Your age at the time of injury
- You average wages
- Whether or not you can go back to work
- Your current medical bills and expected future medical expenses
- How your injury affects your daily life and overall well-being
Should I Accept a TBI Settlement?
You should not accept a TBI settlement before you fully understand the scope of your losses. If you settle your claim before you know how much medical treatment you will require and how your injury will affect your work capabilities, you could end up paying for healthcare and life expenses out of pocket. You cannot go back for more compensation once you agree to settle, even if it turns out that the amount is not enough.
Our lawyers can identify and pursue all of your recoverable damages and review any offers before you agree to a settlement.
Will My TBI Case Go to Trial?
Most injury claims settle before going to trial, but we will not hesitate to represent you before a judge or jury when necessary. If we must go to civil court to get fair compensation, we must file your case before the statute of limitations expires.
According to Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.5805, you have three years for most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. The clock may already be ticking, so it is important to act quickly to protect your right to seek damages.
Can I Afford a TBI Lawyer?
At Christensen Law, we do not charge upfront or out-of-pocket. We make our services affordable and accessible by taking cases on a contingency fee basis. You do not pay us anything until we obtain compensation.
