How Does Negligence Cause Riverhead Traumatic Brain Injuries?
A TBI occurs when a blow, jolt, or penetration injury occurs and disrupts the normal activity of the victim’s brain. A TBI can range from mild, sometimes called a concussion, to severe. Serious TBIs are often life-altering, causing lasting cognitive, physical, and emotional concerns.
Too often, someone else’s carelessness or recklessness causes a TBI. This could occur in:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Truck and commercial vehicle collisions
- Construction accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrians crashes
In any of these incidents, our attorneys will determine what happened and develop a strong case for compensation for victims. We can help you and your family fight for the money you need to pay for treatment, ongoing care, and other related costs.
How Can I Hold the Negligent Party Accountable for a Riverhead, NY, TBI?
Victims can generally hold someone else accountable for a TBI if they have evidence to show:
- The other party owed them a specific duty of care
- That duty was breached because of negligence or an intentional act
- The negligence or intentional act caused the TBI
- The victim suffered damages as a result
While traffic accident cases work a little differently in New York than in many other states, it is generally still possible to hold a driver accountable for the serious injuries they cause. Property owners are also legally liable for injuries caused by negligence on their properties.
Our attorneys will take the necessary steps to build a claim, manage your case, and pursue fair compensation for you. This could include:
- Investigating what happened and gathering key evidence
- Identifying all potentially responsible parties
- Working with medical experts to document injury severity, prognosis, and needs
- Pursuing money for medical costs, lost income, pain, and future care needs
- Negotiating with insurance carriers for fair compensation
- Filing a lawsuit, if necessary
You can count on our team to guide you through complex medical and legal processes. We understand how challenging it can be to navigate an insurance claim or litigation while recovering from or learning to live with a serious traumatic brain injury. Don’t fight solo – get Trantolo & Trantolo.
