Delaware Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys

If you or someone you love unexpectedly sustains a head or brain injury due to another person’s negligent actions, promptly arrange to discuss your right to compensation with a Delaware traumatic brain injury attorney at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) may occur due to a blow or jolt to the head or a sharp object penetrating the skull. TBIs range from mild to severe. A doctor usually classifies a concussion as a mild brain injury since concussions are seldom life-threatening.

But the long-term consequences of any TBI may be considerable. Car accidents are the top cause of TBIs in the U.S. among those ages 18 to 44. If you suffer a TBI because a motorist, property owner, or product manufacturer was negligent, call Abram, Gulab & Hutchison immediately.

What Are the Most Common Causes of TBIs?

TBIs are also caused by sports injuries, assaults, slip-and-fall accidents, and defective or dangerous consumer products. When someone else’s negligence causes a head or brain injury, Delaware law entitles the injury victim to take legal action to recover compensation.

A mild TBI can cost up to $100,000. A moderate traumatic brain injury may cost over $900,000, and severe brain injuries can cost up to $3 million over a lifetime. Unless a TBI victim succeeds with a personal injury claim, affording quality long-term care may be impossible.

Should You Seek Workers’ Comp Benefits?

If an accident that causes a TBI is job-related, the victim may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, but workers’ comp cannot cover the lifelong care that many TBI victims need.

A Delaware traumatic brain injury lawyer at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison can review your TBI case and determine if you have sufficient legal grounds for filing a personal injury claim.

Abram, Gulab & Hutchison will investigate the way you were injured, determine which person or persons may have liability, and fight on your behalf for the maximum compensation available.

How Do TBIs Affect Victims and Their Loved Ones?

TBIs can trigger anxiety, mood swings, depression, the inability to concentrate, and other psychological conditions. We ensure that our TBI clients meet with professionals who can help injury victims and their loved ones address these issues positively and realistically.

A TBI claim is complex. A Delaware brain injury attorney who doesn’t understand the full impact of a TBI victim’s difficulties may suggest settling for less than you need. In most TBI cases, victims recover compensation only if they prove they were injured by another party’s negligence.

A Delaware traumatic brain injury attorney at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison may work with medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and other authorities to provide testimony and evidence that strengthens your personal injury claim.

How Will Abram, Gulab & Hutchison Handle Your TBI Claim?

A Delaware traumatic brain injury lawyer at Abram, Gulab & Hutchison can offer sound advice and guidance to TBI victims and their families. Your TBI lawyer will identify the party or parties liable for your injury and strive to recover the compensation you deserve and need.

In Delaware, most personal injury claims arising from TBIs are resolved in out-of-court settlement negotiations with the liable party (or that party’s attorney and insurance company). Typically, a TBI victim does not even have to appear in a courtroom.

But if liability for your brain injury is disputed, or if no reasonable settlement is offered in the private negotiations, Abram, Gulab & Hutchison will take your TBI case to trial, explain to the jury how you were injured, and advocate for a favorable verdict.

What Compensation Can TBI Victims Recover?

In personal injury cases, “economic” damages compensate a victim of negligence for quantifiable financial losses: current medical bills and projected future medical expenses, lost wages and projected future lost income, and other losses arising from the personal injury.

“Non-economic” damages compensate an injury victim for pain and suffering, and in many cases, for the loss of “enjoyment of life” or the loss of consortium. “Punitive” damages are imposed to penalize a defendant and are ordered only in cases involving recklessness or malice.
