Why Hire a Brain Injury Lawyer in South Carolina?
Hiring an attorney to help with your brain injury claim can improve the odds that you’ll receive fair payment for your economic and non-economic losses.
An attorney can quickly address all your legal concerns and provide the support you deserve after sustaining an injury due to someone else’s negligent actions.
You can rely on our team to:
Assess Your Situation
We take the time to review the circumstances surrounding your brain injury so we can determine if you have a valid legal claim. We’ll also take the time to answer the legal questions you have after an accident, allowing you to feel confident about each step you need to take.
Collect Evidence
We can take over the investigation of your accident, allowing us to gather evidence and identify the liable party. Depending on your circumstances, we may need to:
- Visit the location of the accident
- Take statements from all eyewitnesses
- Get copies of any official accident reports
- Look for videos or photos showing the accident
We need to establish that someone else owed you a duty of care and failed to uphold that duty in a way that led to your accident, injuries, and any financial losses.
Resolve Your Claim
Your brain injury attorney in South Carolina can get to work immediately on the resolution of your personal injury claim. We may negotiate aggressively with the insurance company in charge of representing the liable party or help with a lawsuit.
Funds Available through Brain Injury Claims
You could qualify for money to cover any of the losses you face after sustaining a brain injury. The specific funds available in your situation will vary. However, you may qualify for compensation for your:
Medical Expenses
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions often require expensive healthcare treatments. Even the diagnostic tests to identify these conditions can cost a lot of money, and that’s before you consider the medications and treatments you may need to recover.
Your attorney can track all of your healthcare costs and take steps to bring you fair payment for these losses.
Pain and Suffering
An injury to your brain can have tremendous negative effects on your mental and emotional health. The at-fault party could have to pay for your emotional distress, mental suffering, and any pain caused by the injury.
Lost Pay
You may also receive funds to cover the wages you miss out on receiving when off work to heal from a brain injury. These injuries can also result in long-term disabilities. If you find yourself in this situation, you could get further funds to cover your reduced earning potential.
How Much Money Do You Get for a Brain Injury?
The total compensation available in a brain injury claim varies on a case–by–case basis. An attorney will need to review the extent of your losses to determine a fair value for your claim.
