Why Brain Injury Claims Are Complex
Brain injuries present unique challenges in personal injury litigation. Symptoms may be invisible on standard imaging, effects may not fully manifest for months or years, and the impact on work capacity and quality of life can be difficult to quantify. Rush Injury Law works with leading neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners to build the strongest possible case for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my brain injury wasn't diagnosed right away?
Delayed diagnosis is common with TBIs, especially mild to moderate injuries. The fact that your injury wasn't immediately diagnosed does not prevent you from making a claim. We work with leading neurologists and brain injury specialists to document your injuries and their impact on your life.
How do you calculate damages for a brain injury?
Brain injury damages include past and future medical costs (which can be enormous for severe TBIs), lost wages and future earning capacity, in-home care and rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. We work with life care planners and vocational experts to quantify your full damages.
