Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a serious form of personal injury. TBIs are the leading cause of disability and death worldwide.
Here’s what you can expect to get from your claim if you or someone you love suffered a traumatic head injury as a result of negligence, malpractice, intentional acts or other negligent parties:
What Can I Expect from a TBI Claims?
Each case is unique. There are many factors that will affect the amount of compensation you may receive. To assess the extent of your non-economic and economic damages, it is important to contact a team of experienced California brain injuries lawyers.
How is TBI Damages Calculated?
By calculating the damage you have suffered, brain injury lawyers calculate the value of your settlement. California has two types of damages that you can recover: non-economic and economic.
Economic Damages
Economic damages refer to the financial losses that you have suffered as a result of your injury. These could include:
- Losses and wages lost or reduced
- Assessments of property damage
- Replacing or fixing damaged bills
- Medical expenses include medications, assisted living and nursing staff
It is considered economic damage if the financial value of your loss due to injury can be quantified. The settlement value usually covers the entire amount of the monetary damages suffered, so you will be reimbursed for what you can prove you have lost as a result of the injury.
