On Behalf of | Jul 1, 2019 | Brain Injury Claims

An estimated 2.8 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury each year in the United States. Of these, about 282,000 are hospitalized and about 50,000 die. That means that each day 153 people die from a traumatic head injury.

While some traumatic brain injuries last just a few days, many of them result in permanent disability.

If you or your loved one has suffered a brain injury, it’s important that you consider hiring a traumatic brain injury attorney.

Read on to learn how to choose the right attorney who can get you the compensation you deserve.

Experience with Brain Injury Claims

The most important factor when choosing a traumatic brain injury attorney is his or her experience with brain injury claims.

Your attorney’s experience can make a big difference in the outcome of your claim. Experience in personal injury law and courtroom procedures is not enough.

You need a lawyer who understands the complexity of brain injuries so that you can get the compensation you deserve.

The best brain injury lawyers will work with neurologists or other medical professionals to understand the full extent of your brain injury.

When you interview brain injury lawyers, ask them about their previous trial results with brain injury claims.

Compassionate and Works in Your Best Interest

You also want to look for a traumatic brain injury attorney who is personable and compassionate. You didn’t ask to be hurt. A caring attorney can help make the process of getting compensation for your injury much better.

Look for an attorney that will respond to your calls and emails promptly. Good attorneys will keep you up-to-date about the status of your case.

Choose a lawyer you feel comfortable with. Your case could take months to resolve. You want a lawyer on your side who you feel will do the best job possible for you and your family.

Some lawyers are focused on a quick resolution. But you want a lawyer who understands that you deserve fair compensation.

Ask your prospective lawyer about what was the largest offer of money that he or she advises a client not to take. A good lawyer will advise clients not to take a substantial amount of money if he or she feels that it doesn’t fairly compensate their client for their injury.

Has Glowing References

Once you meet with a prospective traumatic brain injury attorney, it’s a good idea to do some research.

Ask for references from former TBI clients. Even if you don’t contact all the references, it’s a good idea to ask for them anyway to see how willing the attorney is to give you access to previous clients.

You can also look up online reviews about a particular attorney or firm.
