Traumatic Brain Injury

Louisiana Brain Injury Attorneys

Survivors of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) will face a long road to recovery and encounter many challenges. Many of which will stick with them throughout their lives. They may have to relearn different physical and mental skills and face losing personal independence and the need for long-term care. The families of brain injury victims also face many challenges around providing and being able to afford the proper care.  

Brain injuries can stem from negligence in many cases, including:

• Auto accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Slip and fall injuries
• Falling objects
• Construction site injuries
• Workplace accidents
• And more

In any of these situations where a traumatic brain injury occurs, a brain injury attorney must prove the following:

• Duty of Care: The legal obligation that requires an individual to exercise a reasonable level of care to prevent harm.
• Breach of Duty: When an individual or entity fails to live up to their duty of care.
• Causation: The individual or entity's negligence must be shown to be directly responsible for the injury.
• Damages: The victim must show that either economic or non-economic damages have occurred because of the negligence.

When faced with a brain injury that resulted from a third party’s negligence, you or your loved one may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain, and suffering, losing the ability to enjoy activities, lost wages, and wrongful death.
