We Will Seek Economic and Non-Economic Brain Injury Damages on Your Behalf

To ensure all losses are considered properly, damages are typically split up into categories referred to as economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages account for all of your financial losses, while non-economic damages cover the intangible ways your injuries have affected your life.

Traumatic brain injuries are known for being particularly devastating. We believe that it  is essential to have all your costs covered by the liable party so that you can begin rebuilding your life. We are 100% committed to achieving that result for you.  Examples of both economic damages and non-economic damages that could be paid out in a Long Island brain injury case include:

• Loss of income and other employee benefits
• Existing and future healthcare costs
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Costs of home health care and medical equipment
• Psychological trauma, emotional distress, and mental anguish

Time is limited to get your case filed.

We will let you know what deadlines apply to your case and lay out your various options for taking legal action to recover your damages.)
