Traumatic brain injury is classified by medical professionals into mild, moderate, and severe. With mild traumatic brain injury, which can include a concussion, most people will recover in less than three months with limited ongoing issues and limited medical support.
For moderate to severe Traumatic Brain Injuries, which are most commonly encountered in vehicle accidents, the recovery period is much longer, and a significant amount of support may be required. This is why a brain injury lawyer should be involved with your case or the case of a loved one as soon as possible.
Often our traumatic brain injury lawyer is contacted after the individual or the family accepts a settlement from the insurance company. This limits the ability of our brain injury attorney to get fair compensation for current medical bills and the future, and perhaps lifelong medical attention and support required.
What Can Be Required
After a vehicle accident with moderate TBI, the individual typically requires physical therapy, speech or language therapy, and counseling or mental health support. In addition, some people may need neurosurgery to address pressure or damage to the brain tissue. In these situations, a traumatic brain injury attorney at Snyder & Wenner, P.C. will fight to get the individual and the family the compensation they need now and in the future.
With severe TBI, the long-term impact and recovery of the brain are less predictable. Often these individuals need ongoing support in many areas of their life. They may not return to work, which needs to be considered when looking into a settlement offer.
