Charleston Concussions Attorney
Concussions are serious brain injuries that are closely related to traffic accidents of all kinds, as well as slip and fall accidents and other kinds of premises liability claims. Because they affect the brain, concussions are both unpredictable and dangerous. If you’ve suffered a concussion as a result of someone else’s negligence, it’s time to consult with an experienced Charleston concussions attorney.
Concussions
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that concussions are a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and they are often caused by a blow to the head or body that causes the brain to shake violently back and forth in the skull. This is common to the impact of traffic accidents and falls, and the sudden jostling can lead not only to the stretching and damaging of brain cells but also to chemical changes in the brain that can have long-lasting consequences.
Your Legal Damages
The legal damages – or physical, financial, and emotional losses – you suffer in the aftermath of an accident that leads to concussion can be considerable, including in each of the following categories:
- Medical expenses that may need to address ongoing healthcare needs
- Lost income, which may include losses related to overall earning potential
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering, which can be especially pronounced in relation to a brain injury
Your capable concussion attorney will ensure that your complete losses are carefully addressed in your claim.
Your Attorney’s Role
Your knowledgeable concussion attorney will skillfully take on all the following primary tasks in fierce protection of your rights and in fierce pursuit of your rightful compensation:
- Guiding you through the legal process, which includes helping you avoid the kind of mistakes that tend to weaken claims
- Communicating with the insurance company on your behalf – the involved insurance company is all too eager to twist your words into meanings that benefit them, which makes leaving the communication to your attorney an excellent plan
- Gathering all the available evidence and using it to build a strong claim that the insurance company is hard-pressed to refute
- Ably negotiating with the insurance company for a settlement that covers your losses in their entirety
- Preparing to defend your rights in court if the insurance company refuses to negotiate a fair settlement in a timely manner
Having the trusted legal representation of an accomplished concussion attorney in your corner from the start can make a serious difference in the outcome of your claim.
