What Compensation Is Available with Help from a Rochester Hills Brain Injury Lawyer
Our Rochester Hills lawyers know how difficult it is to live with a brain injury. We have helped many clients demand fair compensation and fight for their future in these cases. We understand how catastrophic injuries affect every member of the family and the physical, emotional, and financial challenges they often bring.
When we handle a brain injury case for a client, we identify and document the expenses and losses incurred because of their accident, injury, treatment, and new disabilities. We will present strong evidence to show what their brain injury cost them and how it affected—and continues to affect—their life.
The potential settlement value of each case is unique, but we seek many of the same types of expenses and losses for every client. Some common examples include the following:
- Medical Care: Current and future treatment, therapies, and injury management, as well as related costs such as mobility equipment and medications
- Lost Income: Missed pay while out of work and diminished earning capacity for those with moderate or severe TBIs who cannot return to their previous work
- Expenses: Related out-of-pocket costs, such as traveling to therapy appointments, parking at doctor’s offices, or renovating your home for mobility-friendly access
- Non-Economic Damages: Intangible losses for physical and emotional pain and suffering

We know how to develop these claims and pursue a payout for our clients. Let us review the facts of your case and discuss your legal options during a free consultation with our team. We are here to help you get justice and hold the liable party responsible for your loved one’s injuries and death.

How Our Rochester Hills Brain Injury Attorneys Build a Strong Case for Compensation
Most brain injury claims and lawsuits are based on negligence. When we build a personal injury case, we identify the liable party and gather evidence to show how their actions or inaction caused the accident and injuries. There are four things necessary for negligence to exist:
- Duty of Care: The liable party owed the victim a certain duty of care, such as following a traffic law.
- Breach of Duty: They failed to uphold the duty of care, possibly by violating said traffic law.
- Causation: Their breach of duty was the proximate cause of an accident or incident.
- Harm: The victim suffered financial losses related to physical or psychological injuries.
It is important to note that negligence can happen accidentally. Most people do not intend to act carelessly, but when they do, other people suffer the consequences. Careless actions behind the wheel of a car are some of the most common causes of traffic accidents and could lead to brain injuries in some victims.
