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

After suffering a traumatic brain injury, you might wonder how much you could be awarded if your case is successful. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P.’s brain injury lawyers in New York will carefully evaluate how your injuries have affected your life to calculate the value of your case.

With that in mind, there are specific types of damages that are often recoverable following a TBI. Examples of such damages include:
  • Medical expenses you incurred, including physical therapy, corrective surgeries, and other types of medical interventions
  • Prescription medication, transportation costs, co-pays, and other out-of-pocket medical bills
  • 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 as a result of your head injury
  • The emotional trauma and distress caused by your TBI
  • Severe scarring or disfigurement
  • The loss of enjoyment of life
  • Permanent disabilities
  • Any personal property damages, such as vehicle repair costs
These are a few examples of the types of damages our traumatic brain injury lawyers could recover for you, depending on which damages apply to your case. If you are interested in learning more about how much your case is worth, we will analyze your case to calculate the value of your losses.

Identifying Liable Parties for Brain Injury Claims in New York

Brain injuries could be caused by various types of accidents and incidents. The way your brain injury occurred will determine how we handle your case and who we hold accountable for your damages. For instance:
  • If your traumatic brain injury was caused by a drunk driving car accident, the drunk driver, social hosts, a bar or restaurant that overserved alcohol (termed a “dram shop” action), and other parties could share fault.
  • If your brain injuries occurred in a slip and fall accident, the property owner could be to blame if they failed to repair or otherwise address a hazardous condition that they caused or were aware of.
Only a thorough investigation into the cause of your brain injuries will uncover the truth. Identifying the liable party is a crucial step in your case. Our brain injury attorneys are ready to collect all available evidence on your behalf.

New York Brain Injury Lawsuit Filing Deadlines

New York law gives you a limited time from the date you suffered your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death lawsuits must also be filed within a specific period of time after your loved one’s passing. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations, and they might vary based on:
  • What kind of case you file
  • Who is responsible for the accident
  • What kind of accident caused your injury
Once the deadline in your case expires, you will not be able to file a lawsuit, and your opportunity to recover compensation for your traumatic brain injury will have passed. (It is also very important to note that a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your situation, depending upon the circumstances of your case. It is best to take advantage of a free case review with our firm so that you know exactly what deadlines you are facing and what your best options for legal action are.) It is also important to keep in mind that evidence to support your case, such as dashboard camera footage, video surveillance, witness statements, or other time-sensitive evidence, might only be available for a short period of time. It is impossible to overemphasize 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 Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., the greater our ability to fight for the best possible case result on your behalf. You could avoid complications and disappointments resulting from missing the applicable statute of limitations and other important deadlines by working with a New York brain injury attorney from our team from the start.
