Frequently Asked Questions About TBI Claims
What should I do after a traumatic brain injury accident in Mechanicsville?
Your first priority is to seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Symptoms of a TBI can be delayed. Then, contact an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer as soon as possible. Do not speak to the at-fault party’s insurance company or sign any documents without legal advice. Your attorney can protect your rights and handle all communications for you.
How long do I have to file a TBI claim in Virginia?
In Virginia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including TBIs, is two years from the date of the injury. If you fail to file a lawsuit within this period, you will likely lose your right to seek compensation forever. It is crucial to contact an attorney quickly to ensure all deadlines are met.
How much is my TBI case worth?
The value of a TBI claim depends on many factors, including the severity of the injury, the total amount of medical bills (current and future), the impact on your ability to work, and the degree of your pain and suffering. Our attorneys can evaluate the specifics of your case to determine its potential value and fight for the maximum compensation you are owed.
Do I need a lawyer for a TBI claim?
Yes. Traumatic brain injury cases are incredibly complex and involve significant long-term damages. Insurance companies will work aggressively to minimize your payout. An experienced TBI lawyer will level the playing field, prove the full extent of your damages, and fight to secure the financial resources you need for your recovery and future.
