Seek Recovery for Your Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury can occur as a result of car accidents, boating accidents, pedestrian accidents, and other events. In a personal injury case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant acted negligently. Negligence includes four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. To establish the first two elements, the plaintiff must show that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care and failed to act according to that standard. In general, the duty of care requires each person to act with the same ordinary care and skill that a reasonably prudent person would use in the same or similar circumstances. In the context of a pedestrian accident, for example, the duty of care requires the defendant to operate his or her vehicle in a reasonable manner when passing pedestrians along the street or when allowing pedestrians to cross at crosswalks. Next, the plaintiff must show that the defendant’s failure to act according to the standard of care was the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.

Obtain Compensation for Your Injuries

The final element of negligence requires the plaintiff to show that he or she has suffered damages as a result of the defendant’s negligence. In a traumatic brain injury case, the symptoms that the victim experiences are often difficult to detect and diagnose, and sometimes do not manifest until weeks or months after the accident. As a result, it is critical to seek medical attention as soon as possible if you think you have suffered a traumatic brain injury. Examples of the types of damages that may be available to you include medical expenses, physical therapy, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity. Brain injuries often require the victim to miss a substantial period of work, or prevent the victim from returning to his or her original occupation. This can create a significant burden for the victim and his or her family.

I am proud to have had Lebowitz & Mzhen represent me in an automobile personal injury case I was involved with. Not only did they come through with a settlement worth far more than I thought possible, the entire office was always friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to answer any questions I had. Should an incident like this occur again, I will not hesitate to contact Lebowitz & Mzhen for their counsel, advice and representation, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking honest and effective attorneys.
