Traumatic Brain Injury Damages Your Richfield Attorney Will Fight for

A traumatic brain injury is likely to affect your life in many different ways. Since every brain injury accident is unique, there are a variety of damages that may or may not apply to your case. Depending on the losses you've suffered, you may qualify for several or more of the following damages:

• Medical bills: Most traumatic brain injuries require diagnostic tests, treatments, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation services, and follow-up doctor's appointments. These medical necessities can be incredibly expensive, but with the help of a traumatic brain injury attorney in Richfield, you'll get the money you need to pay your bills.
• Lost income: Many traumatic brain injury victims cannot go to work for a while after their accident, and some are permanently barred from working at their previous capacity. These damages can help replace lost wages and make up for decreased earning ability.
• Pain and suffering: Your brain injury may cause you to experience mild or chronic pain. These damages can help you deal with the pain and suffering you've been forced to live with.
• Property damage: If you sustained your brain injury in an auto accident or another type of incident where property damage is common, you might qualify for these damages. Compensation for property damage can help you get the repairs your car or motorcycle needs to function properly again.
• Disability: Those who sustain traumatic brain injuries may also develop cognitive, sensory processing, and communication disabilities. If you've been diagnosed with a disability related to your brain trauma, your Richfield attorney can add these damages to your claim.
• Mental distress: Experiencing a life-threatening accident and living with a traumatic brain injury can affect your mental health and may lead to PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Your attorney can request these damages if you've been diagnosed with a mental health disorder.

Our Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers Know How To Deal With Insurers In Richfield

The at-fault party's insurance company is the main obstacle between you and the damages you need. While the purpose of an insurance company is to compensate those who've been injured by its clients, insurers are not always eager to fulfill their responsibilities.

In many cases, insurance providers will offer lowball settlements or attempt to find a reason to deny a legitimate claim outright. Our traumatic brain injury lawyers have managed cases in Richfield for years. They're familiar with all the tricks that insurers play to reduce their liability and avoid paying a fair amount.

Your lawyer will refer to evidence and facts that undeniably prove that the at-fault party was the main cause behind the accident you were injured in. They'll spend as much time at the negotiating table as they have to in order to convince insurance adjusters that you deserve a fair settlement.

A Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney Will Meet Richfield's Filing Deadline

While it's likely that your claim won't escalate into a personal injury lawsuit, there's always the chance that insurance negotiations won't go as planned, leaving you with no choice but to file a civil suit. If that happens, your attorney will need to get your traumatic brain injury lawsuit filed with the Richfield court system before Utah's filing deadline.

According to Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307, traumatic brain injury victims have four years from the date of their accident to file a lawsuit. In the unlikely event that a lawsuit becomes your only option, you'll thank yourself for having contacted an attorney soon after your accident.

That's because hiring a lawyer right away gives them the time they need to get your lawsuit filed on time. Waiting too long to hire legal counsel could cause you to miss the deadline and have your suit thrown out. If you've delayed legal action for a while and believe you've missed your filing date, an attorney can determine whether or not you qualify for a time extension.

We'll Help You Get Discounts On Your Traumatic Brain Injury Treatments

The team at 1LAW understands how expensive medical care can be, which is why we use our relationships with local doctors and hospitals in Richfield to get our clients discounts. We call this initiative our "more money guarantee." We've named it that because it includes a promise that we'll lower our contingency fee by 500$ if we cannot get your medical bills reduced.

If you're unfamiliar with the term "contingency fee," it's easy to understand when you think of it as a portion of your settlement that your attorney will take in exchange for their services. Our lawyers don't charge upfront or out-of-pocket for their counsel. Instead, they'll take approximately 33% of the compensation you receive from your claim.
