Our Saginaw Attorneys Can Answer Your Traumatic Brain Injury FAQs
Who Is Liable for a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A party is liable for an injury when it results from their negligent actions. Someone is negligent when they break the law, act in a manner that most others would not find reasonable, or fail to act when necessary.
Specific examples of negligence can vary from situation to situation. In a car accident claim, negligence would include behaviors like drinking and driving, speeding, or running a red light. In a slip, trip, and fall claim, negligence would include failing to repair broken flooring or warn patrons about known hazards on a property.
Liable parties will depend on the type of accident that caused your TBI, but may include:
- A car or truck driver
- A driver’s employer
- A property owner
- An employer or a third party at your workplace
How Much Compensation Can You Get for a TBI?
How much compensation you can get for a TBI will vary from case to case. Factors that can affect the amount of your recoverable damages include:
- The severity of your injury and the scope of your necessary medical treatment
- Your time missed from work, and whether or not you can return to your job
- How your injury affects your overall health, well-being, and daily life
- Your age
- Your average wage at the time of your accident
How Long Does a TBI Settlement Take?
It can take several months to several years to settle a TBI claim. How long it takes will depend on the length of the accident investigation, the negotiation process, and whether or not the case goes to trial.
If legal action is necessary to get fair compensation, we must file your lawsuit within Michigan’s statute of limitations. According to Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.5805, you have three years to pursue most personal injury and wrongful death cases in civil court.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer?
Christensen Law takes cases on a contingency basis, so working with our TBI attorneys will cost you nothing upfront or out of pocket. We do not collect a fee unless and until we obtain compensation.
