What’s the distinction between a mere bump to the head and a traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Suffering intense symptoms (headache, fatigue, etc.), discovering severe side effects, or requiring insurance coverage because of the initial incident certainly qualify. Around 1.7 million Americans suffer TBIs annually, and these injuries can result in life-altering symptoms or even death. Don’t risk your or a loved one’s well-being in the face of such danger. Contact an experienced brain injury lawyer to ensure you get the care you need.

Below, we outline the situations wherein you should speak with us for traumatic brain damage:
You Experience Acute Symptoms
Although you’ll need a professional to confirm the diagnosis, TBIs have some tell-tale signs. The most common symptoms of traumatic brain injuries include:
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Trouble speaking
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Confusion and memory loss
- Loss of consciousness
- Reduced quality of life
If you experience several of these symptoms at once, contact a doctor immediately. On the other hand, the appearance of minor symptoms could indicate microtrauma. Do not ignore minor symptoms (even if they aren’t bothering you), as they can cause numerous problems later in life. Seeking medical attention after a blow to the head can save your life and help build a case for damages.
An Insurance Provider Denies Your Claim
Depending on how your injury occurred, you may be entitled to a payout from an insurance provider. Nevertheless, you must file a claim to receive such a payout, and the insurance company may find a reason to deny your claim. Hiring an attorney gives you an expert representative to negotiate with insurers and recover losses. Indeed, your lawyer can leverage their negotiation skills to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
You Must Prove Liability
If an insurer denies your accident claim, an attorney can help you build a personal injury case. Since the insurer refuted your claim once, convincing them to pay it will require proof. An attorney can help you gather evidence and build a case for compensation that, if necessary, could stand in court. That said, insurers settle nearly all such cases before they get to court.
Lawyers often use police reports, accident scene photos, and witness statements to prove liability in these cases. Yet medical expertise and bills are also impactful pieces of evidence. These materials can help determine the damages that accident victims are entitled to, which should cover hospital fees, lost wages during recovery time, and ongoing injury treatments.
