Brain injury law firm in Liberty County Georgia
The damage may be caused by the head forcefully striking an object, such as when hitting a windshield, or the dashboard of a car (closed head injury) or by something passing through the skull and piercing the brain, such as a bullet or knife wound to the head (penetrating head injury). Closed head injury is also experienced in the absence of direct penetration of the skull or external trauma when the brain undergoes a severe forward or backward shaking or twisting, such as the shaken baby syndrome or a whiplash. The difference between the two is substantial because the first usually will leave no obvious external signs but may cause much widespread damage. Many different things influence the damages amount in a traumatic brain injury lawsuit. While an attorney might not promise to get you a fixed amount, experience allows many attorneys with brain injury lawsuit experience to determine good estimates of what your case is worth. Different elements are factored into a brain injury damages estimate, like:
(1) The severity of the brain injury
(2) Impact of the brain injury on your life
(3) If you contributed in anyway to the accident that resulted in the brain injury
(4) Your previous medical history
(5) Your pre-existing injuries
(6) Expenses for future medical care
(7) Lost wages because of the injury
(8) If you will be able to get punitive damages.
The damages will be higher if the difference between the quality of life before the brain injury as compared to after the injury is more.
