What Compensation Will I Get for a Brain Injury?

The compensation you receive depends on the extent of your injuries and should take into account both your present and future suffering. For example:
  • You deserve pain and suffering damages for all physical and emotional symptoms related to the injury.
  • Property damage could entitle you to compensation for the cost of repairing or replacing items damaged in the accident. 
  • Brain injuries are often very expensive to treat, so you should seek reimbursement for all medical expenses.
  • If you are unable to work for any length of time because of your injuries, you could be eligible for loss of wages or earning capacity.
  • Damages for diminished quality of life often apply in brain injury cases, where accident victims are no longer able to care for themselves or enjoy the lifestyle they did before.
Brain injuries are often life-altering, even in situations where the victim eventually makes a full recovery. You deserve compensation for everything this accident took from you. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., will fight for the money you need while you process the accident and plan the way forward.

How Do Brain Injuries Happen?

Traumatic brain injuries could result from injuries of all kinds, including but not limited to:
  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Bus accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Workplace accidents
Many of these and other kinds of accidents occur because of someone else’s negligence. For example, a driver might run a red light, and a property owner might fail to warn visitors about a broken handrail. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, we will find out and take steps to hold them accountable.

How Will a Brookhaven Brain Injury Attorney Handle My Case?

Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., is ready and willing to champion your rights after a preventable brain injury. As part of our services, we will take on the responsibility of:
  • Updating you regularly: Our Brookhaven lawyers handle all day-to-day legal tasks, but we never leave clients in the dark about our progress and what we are doing.
  • Finding out who the liable party is: Whether you already suspect their identity or have no idea how your accident happened, our investigation will get to the truth.
  • Maintaining communication: We will field all phone calls, emails, and other communications from insurance companies, defense lawyers and other involved parties. 
  • Collecting evidence: Medical records, statements from medical professionals and other experts, video footage of the accident itself, and Suffolk County Police reports (if available) could all strengthen your claim.
  • Calculating your damages: Do not assume that an insurance company’s offer is accurate, or even fair—let our brain injury lawyers assess your case’s true value.
Without a legal representative, you would have to handle all of these tasks on your own—or you might have to give up your right to damages in order to focus on recovering from your injuries. Our personal injury attorneys do not want to see that happen. Call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., today for a free consultation. We will listen carefully to your story and explain what your next steps should be.

Do I Have to Hire a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer?

Whether you hire legal representation—and which firm you hire—is up to you. However, trying to heal from or learning to live with a brain injury is often extremely difficult. Taking on additional stress at this time would not be beneficial for your health or your legal case. A brain injury lawyer from our firm will make your life easier by:
  • Charging nothing until you win
  • Assisting you in Spanish, Greek, Bengali, or another language you prefer
  • Coming to see you anywhere on Long Island or in the New York metropolitan area

Will My Brain Injury Case Go to Court?

There are many factors that go into determining whether your case goes to court or not:
  • If the insurance company agrees to negotiate in good faith, we are often able to secure a pretrial settlement.
  • If the evidence in your case is clearly in your favor, or if the liable party admits they were at fault, the insurer might be willing to offer a settlement rather than risk losing in court.
On the other hand, if the insurance company refuses to work with us or continually offers inadequate settlements, we might decide to file a lawsuit. Even after filing, there is still time for the insurer to come to the negotiating table and agree to an appropriate settlement. Most cases do settle out of court. If yours does not, our Brookhaven brain injury attorneys will:
  • Set trial dates and select jury members
  • Submit evidence and prepare witnesses to testify
  • Present opening and closing arguments
While not every personal injury firm is willing or able to represent clients in the courtroom, the team at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., includes experienced trial lawyers who are prepared to deal with any legal challenge.
