Bridgewater Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Recommends First Steps After a Brain Injury
Brain injuries can leave victims in a literal daze. However, not all brain injury sufferers experience symptoms right away, and the severity and duration of symptoms can vary widely for even the same type of injury. With this in mind, here are a few helpful first steps if you or a loved one has sustained a brain injury.
- Seek medical attention. This is great advice after any injury, but is especially crucial for brain injuries, which may not always be immediately apparent. This factors into personal injury claims as well, as only official diagnoses will be recognized in legal proceedings
- Get help from family and friends. Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries can effect decision making and your ability to care for yourself. Please get help even if it seems unnecessary at the time
- Do not sign any paperwork. Insurance companies will often attempt to lure injured individuals into prematurely signing settlements. Do not be fooled – these are low ball offers meant to settle your claim cheaply and quickly
- Contact a qualified personal injury attorney. The only way to know your legal rights are being protected is to work with an experienced personal injury lawyer

Franklin Traumatic Injury Lawyer Recovers Compensation for Brain Injury Victims
Brain injuries are recognized in New Jersey courts as being extremely serious injuries which can significantly and even permanently alter the lives of victims. However, proving the degree and the nature of brain injuries can be difficult compared to other relatively straightforward injuries such as burns or broken bones.
Our Franklin personal injury lawyer may choose to call in medical professionals as expert witnesses in your personal injury claim. This can be useful not only to show that your brain injuries are genuine, but that they were directly caused by the accident in question. Furthermore, expert testimony may prove vital in accurately estimating future costs of medical, rehabilitative, and other necessary assistance.
By using every resource at our disposal, we will aggressively pursue full and fair compensation for your brain injuries. This may include recovering damages for medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, emotional suffering, loss of life’s pleasure’s, and more.
