Why You Need a Team of Experienced Brain Injury Lawyers
Brain injury cases involve complicated medical testing and sometimes hard-to-diagnose conditions. Further, the extent to which they impact a person’s life can be difficult to calculate. That said, if you have a traumatic brain injury, we have the experience and know-how to present your damages in a compelling way to help you receive the help and compensation you deserve.
Symptoms of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can manifest in a wide range of symptoms, depending on the severity of the injury and the area of the brain that is affected. While some symptoms may be immediate and obvious, others can develop slowly over time, making them harder to identify. If you or a loved one has experienced any of the following symptoms after an accident or trauma, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately:
- Persistent headaches or migraines
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Confusion or difficulty concentrating
- Memory loss, particularly of recent events
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Changes in mood or personality, including irritability or depression
- Difficulty with speech or understanding language
- Unexplained fatigue or drowsiness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Seizures or convulsions
- Blurred vision or other visual disturbances
- Loss of consciousness, even briefly
These symptoms may disrupt your daily life and, without proper diagnosis and treatment, could lead to long-term or permanent disabilities. A brain injury can impact every facet of your life—from your ability to work to your relationships with loved ones—which is why it’s so important to seek professional legal guidance.
Recovering Compensation for Your Brain Injury
If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to the negligence of another party, you may be entitled to compensation. In New Jersey, personal injury law allows individuals to seek damages for both economic and non-economic losses related to their injury. At Laddey Clark & Ryan, LLP, we understand the complex nature of brain injury cases and will work diligently to pursue the full compensation you deserve.
Compensation in brain injury cases may cover:
- Medical expenses: This includes past, present, and future medical costs, such as hospital bills, rehabilitation, therapy, and ongoing care.
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity: If your brain injury has prevented you from working or will affect your ability to earn a living in the future, you can recover compensation for lost income and diminished earning potential.
- Pain and suffering: Brain injuries often result in severe physical and emotional pain. Compensation can be awarded for the suffering you have endured and continue to endure due to your injury.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: If your injury has impacted your ability to enjoy day-to-day activities or the quality of your relationships, you may be entitled to compensation for this loss.
- Disability and long-term care: If your brain injury has left you with permanent disabilities that require ongoing care or assistance, these costs can be factored into your claim.
New Jersey operates under a comparative negligence rule, meaning that even if you are partially at fault for the accident, you may still recover compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Our skilled attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case to build a strong claim on your behalf, holding the responsible parties accountable and helping you navigate the legal process with confidence.
