Compensation for Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a sudden event. It’s not degenerative or a birth defect but instead results from trauma.
If someone else is legally responsible for your brain injury, you may qualify for financial compensation. Most cases are accidents, where the person with legal liability doesn’t intend for the person to suffer harm. However, a lack of reasonable care can be enough to create liability.
A traumatic brain injury is a personal injury that may qualify you for compensation. Visible injuries, such as disfigurement or bruises, aren’t necessary for a legal claim. Injuries can be entirely internal.
