Proving Negligence in Your Brain Injury Claim

American Associates for Justice -The Associatiion for Trial Lawyers - BadgeYour brain injury claim rests on proving the at-fault party was negligent. Negligence is a legal term for someone’s carelessness that caused your injury. Your lawyer establishes negligence to hold them financially responsible for your losses.

To prove negligence, your Phoenix head injury lawyer shows four key elements:

  1. The at-fault party owed you a legal duty to use reasonable care.
  2. They breached that duty through reckless or careless action.
  3. Their breach directly caused the accident that resulted in your brain injury.
  4. You suffered verifiable damages as a result of their actions.

Compensation a Phoenix Brain Injury Lawyer Pursues

Best Attorneys of America BadgeIf someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may seek compensation for your economic and non-economic losses. Arizona law allows you to demand payment for every way the injury has impacted your life. Our goal is to secure a financial award that provides for your complete recovery.

Your lawyer documents every expense and loss to include in your claim. This includes everything from hospital stays to the income you lost. We build a detailed picture of your financial damages.

Medical Bills and Future Care Costs

A brain injury often requires extensive and ongoing medical treatment. We pursue compensation for all your healthcare needs, including payment for initial emergency services and any future therapy or rehabilitation.

This compensation covers:

  • Hospitalization: We seek payment for emergency room visits and any time spent in the hospital.
  • Rehabilitation: Your compensation covers physical, occupational, and cognitive therapy.
  • Ongoing Needs: We pursue funds for future medical devices, home modifications, or long-term care if needed.

Lost Income and Diminished Earning Capacity

A serious head injury may keep you from working for a long time. It can also permanently affect your ability to do your job. We fight for you to recover the income you’ve lost and what you may lose in the future.

Your claim includes your past lost wages and your diminished future earning potential. We may work with financial experts to project your lost income over your lifetime. This is a key part of securing your family’s financial future.

Pain, Suffering, and Other Non-Economic Damages

The impact of a TBI goes far beyond medical bills. These injuries cause physical pain and emotional distress. Arizona law recognizes these non-economic damages, and we’ll demand fair payment.

Your traumatic brain injury lawyer works to show how the injury has affected your quality of life. This includes payment for emotional anguish and the loss of enjoyment of your daily activities.

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries in Phoenix

MMDAF BadgeTraumatic brain injuries happen in many types of accidents caused by someone else’s carelessness. We handle cases arising from all kinds of incidents throughout the Phoenix area. Identifying the cause of your injury is the first step in holding the right party accountable.

Our Phoenix brain injury attorneys know where to look for evidence of negligence. We build cases based on the specific facts of your situation.

Vehicle Accidents

Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of TBIs. The violent forces in a crash can cause the brain to strike the inside of the skull. This leads to catastrophic injuries, even in what seems like a minor fender-bender.

These crashes happen daily on busy roads like Interstate 10, the Loop 202, and surface streets like McDowell Road. Distracted driving, speeding, and impairment are common factors. We investigate every accident to determine exactly what caused the collision that injured you.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Incidents

Pedestrians and cyclists have no protection in a collision with a motor vehicle. A TBI is a very common outcome when a car strikes a person. These accidents often happen in crosswalks, intersections, or near popular spots like Margaret T. Hance Park or the Phoenix Convention Center.

Drivers have a duty to watch for pedestrians and share the road with cyclists. When they fail to do so, the results are devastating. We hold negligent drivers accountable when they injure vulnerable road users.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail to fix or warn people about a hazard, they may be liable for resulting injuries. A slip and fall or trip and fall often results in a person’s head hitting the floor or another object.

These accidents can happen anywhere, from a grocery store in the Arcadia neighborhood to a restaurant in RoRo. A wet floor, uneven pavement, or poor lighting can all lead to a fall. Our traumatic brain injury lawyer investigates the property to prove the owner was negligent.

How a TBI Attorney in Phoenix Helps You

The National Trial Lawyers BadgeA head injury claim involves much more than just filing paperwork. Your lawyer acts as your advocate and strategist from start to finish. We manage every detail of your case to pursue the maximum compensation possible.

Your lawyer gathers the information to link the accident to your injury and prove the other party’s fault. Let us handle the complexities of the legal system.

Investigating Your Accident

Proving fault is the foundation of your personal injury claim. Our team gets to work right away to collect and preserve evidence. A thorough investigation uncovers the facts needed to establish liability.’

Key parts of our investigation:

  • Evidence Collection: We obtain police reports, accident scene photos, and any available video footage.
  • Witness Interviews: Our investigators locate and interview anyone who saw the accident.
  • Expert Consultation: We may work with accident reconstructionists to show how the at-fault party’s negligence caused your injury.

Determining the Full Value of Your Claim

A TBI affects every part of your life, from finances to personal relationships. A common mistake is to accept an early settlement offer before you know the full extent of your damages. Our Phoenix TBI lawyers calculate all of your losses for a comprehensive demand.

We look at your past, current, and future medical bills. We also calculate any lost income from the time you missed at work and consider how the injury affects your ability to earn a living in the future.

Managing All Communications

You don’t need the stress of dealing with insurance adjusters. They’re trained to get you to say things that harm your claim. A Phoenix brain injury lawyer from our firm takes over all communication.

We handle the calls, emails, and letters from all parties involved and present your case to the insurance company.

Fighting for Compensation

Your Phoenix brain injury lawyer aims to secure a financial settlement that fully accounts for every loss your injury has caused. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and often make low initial offers.

We anticipate these tactics and use our experience to counter them with strong legal arguments and evidence. We’re prepared for a strategic negotiation, but our preparation doesn’t stop there. We build every case from day one as if it’s going to trial.

Our trial readiness shows the insurance company that we’re serious and provides a powerful reason for them to negotiate fairly. If they refuse to offer the settlement, we can take your fight to a Maricopa County courtroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do After Suffering a Brain Injury in Phoenix?

After you receive medical care, taking a few immediate steps helps protect your right to compensation. Contact a Phoenix brain injury lawyer to protect your rights. They can start gathering and preserving all evidence related to your accident.

Keep a daily journal to document how the injury impacts your life. Note all your physical symptoms, like headaches or dizziness, and any cognitive difficulties, such as confusion or memory loss. Also, describe how the injury affects your work, relationships, and ability to perform daily tasks.

Stay off social media until your case is resolved. Insurance companies will likely review your profiles for any posts they can use against you. A photo or comment, even if innocent, can be taken out of context to argue your injuries aren’t as severe as you claim.

How Does a Phoenix Brain Injury Lawyer Prove a Claim?

A Phoenix TBI lawyer proves your brain injury by using a combination of medical evidence and expert testimony. Your medical records, including imaging scans like MRIs or CT scans, document the injury.

Testimony from your doctors and other medical professionals explains the nature and severity of the TBI to the insurance company or a jury.

Other evidence, such as video surveillance and the police report, helps your attorney show negligence.

Do I Still Have a Case if My Symptoms Showed Up Days Later?

Yes, you likely still have a valid claim if your symptoms weren’t immediate. The symptoms of some brain injuries, especially concussions, can be delayed. Headaches, dizziness, or confusion may not appear for hours or even days after the initial impact.

You can connect your delayed symptoms to the accident with medical records and legal guidance.

What Kind of Damages Are Available in a TBI Lawsuit?

If someone else’s recklessness or carelessness caused your TBI, you may seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover financial losses like medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages.

Non-economic damages compensate you for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

How Long Does It Take To Resolve a Case With a Phoenix Brain Injury Lawyer?

The timeline for a brain injury case varies greatly depending on its complexity. If liability is clear and the damages are straightforward, a case may settle in a few months.

However, if the case involves severe injuries or a dispute over fault, it may take a year or more to resolve through negotiation or a trial.

How Long Do I Have To File a Brain Injury Claim in Arizona?

In Arizona, you generally have two years to file a lawsuit for a personal injury claim. This strict deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If you fail to file your case within this two-year window, you almost always lose your right to pursue compensation from the at-fault party.

Since the deadline rules are complex and have few exceptions, contact a lawyer immediately. An experienced Phoenix brain injury attorney can determine the specific deadline for your case and make sure to file it on time.
