We Will Seek Maximum Compensation for Your Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries can cause physical and cognitive symptoms and side effects, including loss of hearing, speech, and vision, loss of coordination, loss of memory, and changes in behavior. TBI victims may face a long road to recovery and permanent health issues that require extensive medical treatment and attendant care. Victims may also be unable to work.
All of these factors mean that brain injury claims can be high. Our lawyers can help you identify and pursue all of your current and future damages and fight for the maximum compensation possible. We want you to have the money you need to heal, and we will not allow insurance companies to get away with offering you a lowball settlement that could leave you paying out of pocket down the line.
Compensation for a traumatic brain injury may include:
- Medical treatment, including emergency transportation and services, hospitalizations, surgeries, physical therapy, cognitive therapy, mobility aids, medical equipment, and long-term care
- Lost income, including lost wages, earnings, and benefits from missed work and the loss of your future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, including physical pain, scarring, and disfigurement, stress, depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life
If your loved one passed away due to a TBI, a Waterbury wrongful death lawyer can assist qualifying survivors with a fatal injury claim. Compensation may include medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, your family member’s lost income, and other damages related to your loss.

Proving Liability for a TBI Accident in Waterbury
Depending on the type of accident you suffered, the liable party could be a motor vehicle driver, a driver’s employer, a property owner, or a medical practitioner. To prove liability, our Waterbury traumatic brain injury attorneys will gather evidence and build a case demonstrating the following four elements of negligence:
- Duty of care: The duty of care is the responsibility we all have to act reasonably and avoid harming others. The specific duty of care can differ from situation to situation. For example, drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely and obey traffic laws, while property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises.
- Breach of duty: Someone breaches the duty of care when they break the law, act in a way most others would not judge safe or reasonable, or fail to act when necessary.
- Causation: Causation links a liable party’s breach of duty with the incident that caused your injury. For example, our lawyers may show that your TBI occurred in a car collision when an at-fault driver ran a red light.
- Damages: Damages show that your injury led to financial losses and pain and suffering.

How Much Compensation Do You Get For a TBI?
TBI compensation can be significant because victims often need extensive medical treatment and other care services. A TBI can also affect a victim’s ability to earn a living. The amount of money you can seek will depend on variables unique to you and your case, including:

What Is the Time Limit for a Brain Injury Claim?
According to CT Gen. Stat. § 52-584, the time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Connecticut is generally two years.
