New York Brain Injury Lawyer

Some brain injuries are so severe that they cause physical, financial, and emotional distress, taking over your life for years or even permanently. However, if another party is to blame for causing your injuries, you should not be stuck covering the costs. 

You have the chance to hold the liable party accountable and recover the compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit. If you suffered a brain injury, the New York lawyers at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. can fight for justice and the financial recovery that can help you get back to normal. 

How to Claim Appropriate Compensation After a Brain Injury in New York

After suffering a traumatic brain injury, it makes sense to wonder how much you could be awarded if your case is successful. Your New York personal injury lawyer will carefully evaluate how your injuries have affected your life in order to correctly calculate the value of your case. 

The types of damages you could be awarded will vary widely depending on the circumstances of your case. However, you have the right to be made whole and recover compensation for every way you have been affected by your injuries. 

With that in mind, there are specific types of damages that may be recoverable following a traumatic brain injury. Examples of such damages could include:

• Ongoing physical therapy and occupational therapy costs 
• Prescription medication, transportation costs, co-pays, and other out-of-pocket medical costs
• Corrective surgeries and other types of medical interventions
• The costs of your future medical care
• Your inability to support yourself or earn a living
• Your diminished quality of life
• The physical pain and suffering you experience on a day-to-day basis
• The emotional trauma and distress you cope with
• The embarrassment and psychological distress associated with severe scarring or disfigurement
• Any personal property damages that could have occurred, such as vehicle repair costs

These are merely a few examples of the kinds of damages that we could recover for you following a traumatic brain injury, depending on which damages apply to your case. If you are interested in finding out more about how much your case is worth, we will analyze your case to calculate the value of your losses and review these with you patiently, compassionately, and comprehensively.

New York Brain Injury Lawsuit Filing Deadlines

You won’t have forever to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. New York law only provides you with a limited period of time to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation. Once the deadline in your case expires, you won’t be able to file a lawsuit and your opportunity to recover compensation for your brain injury will have passed.

If you are attempting to collect evidence to support your case, such as dashboard camera footage, video surveillance, witness statements, or other time-sensitive evidence, it may only be available for a short period of time. It cannot be overemphasized how important it is to start working on your case as soon as possible to avoid having your compensation limited.  The sooner you reach out to us the greater our ability to win the best possible case result on your behalf. 

Failure to meet deadlines often means claim denials. You could avoid complications and disappointments resulting from missing the applicable statute of limitations and other important deadlines by working with a brain injury attorney in New York from the start.

Causes of Brain Injuries in New York and Who To Sue

Brain injuries could be caused by virtually endless types of accidents and incidents. The way your brain injury occurred will determine who is at fault for your damages. For instance, if your traumatic brain injury was caused by a drunk driving car accident, the drunk driver, social hosts, and other third parties could share fault. 

Alternatively, if your brain injuries occurred in a slip and fall accident, the property owner where the accident occurred could be to blame. Only a thorough investigation into the cause of your brain injuries will uncover the truth.
