Traumatic Injury Lawyer
A traumatic injury lawyer takes cases that involve brain damage, spinal cord injuries, and other life-long conditions. Auto accidents are disproportionately more likely to cause a traumatic brain injury than any other type of accident. Traumatic injury is also one of the worst reported injuries from this type of accident as well. However if it happened to you, your injury could affect you for the rest of your life, but you only have 2 years to file a lawsuit. In cases like this it’s important to remember that time is of the essence and you may need a settlement to help with medical bills in the future.
When you talk with a traumatic injury lawyer about your traumatic injury case it’s important you have been diagnosed by your doctor and have a documented accident case. This means that you have filed a police report and information, such as insurance info, from the other driver. Next you can choose to meet with a traumatic injury lawyer for a free consultation to go over your case’s odds of success and even determine a rough estimate of your expected settlement.
When a traumatic injury occurs you may have a greater sway on your insurance settlement. For instance, if you were 50% at fault for the accident you can expect a larger settlement for your severe injury over those with light or no injuries.
It is extremely important that you are discussing all aspects of your injury with your doctor. If your doctor expects that it may take you years to recover then you may have more medical bills in your future. This is what a traumatic injury lawyer will argue for you in your case. With their help you can get a settlement that’s right for you.
