Eligibility for Brain Injury Claims in New Jersey

If your brain injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or mistake, you may have grounds to seek compensation. Depending on how the injury occurred, several different parties could be liable. For example, in a slip and fall case, the property owner may be liable, whereas someone injured in a car accident might hold the other driver liable.

Some of the most common causes of brain injuries include:

Car accidents
Truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Slip and fall incidents
Falls from heights
Physical violence
Sport-related injuries

The Donnelly Law Firm can work with you to evaluate the circumstances of your accident and determine liability. Not all traumatic brain injuries warrant a legal claim, but in some instances, filing a personal injury claim is the only way to hold the liable party accountable for their carelessness or mistake.

Financial Recovery for Brain Injury Victims

Dealing with a brain injury can be both traumatizing and painful, which is why many victims of traumatic brain injuries require extensive financial support.

Filing a lawsuit can help you obtain the monetary compensation you need to pay for:

Medical expenses
Loss of wages
Loss of earning potential
Permanent disability
Loss of quality of life
Pain and suffering

In extreme cases, a TBI might leave the victim in a vegetative state, or they might require 24/7 live-in care, ongoing medical appointments, physical therapy, medications, and so on. Victims might also deal with chronic pain, emotional trauma, loss of quality of life, and more.

If you or someone you love suffered a brain injury, make sure you know your legal options by calling a New Jersey brain injury attorney.

RECOGNIZING SYMPTOMS OF A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

Traumatic brain injuries usually occur after the victim suffers a serious blow to the head. Depending on the severity of the injury, the damage inflicted can vary. However, even mild traumatic brain injuries can result in painful symptoms and cognitive issues, while severe traumatic brain injuries might lead to permanent, life-altering changes.

Common symptoms of a traumatic brain injury include:

Blurred vision
Changes in taste and smell
Difficulty concentrating
Dizziness and poor balance
Fluid drains from the nose or ears
Insomnia
Loss of consciousness
Nausea
Persistent or worsening headache
Seizures
Slurred speech
Tinnitus
Unexplained mood changes

Depending on the severity of the injury, victims with traumatic brain injuries may exhibit any combination of the above-listed symptoms. If the brain injury was mild, the symptoms may be minimal and temporary, while severe brain injuries may cause intense symptoms that increase or worsen. Because of the delicate nature of the human brain, it is extremely important to seek medical help after any type of head injury, even if the symptoms seem minor.

UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY TYPES

Traumatic brain injuries can occur through penetration injuries, impact injuries, and severe jolts. In other words, a gunshot wound could penetrate the skull, impacting the brain directly. An impact injury, on the other hand, might be caused by a major blow to the head or a fall.

Jolt injuries usually occur as the result of a major shake or jarring motion, which causes the brain to jolt, hitting the skull, or stretching the nerves and muscles to damage the brain stem and surrounding tissues. Any of these injuries could cause substantial, permanent damage.
