What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden blow or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe, life-threatening injuries, often resulting in long-term physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. Common causes of TBIs in Pennsylvania include:

  • Car Accidents: Collisions caused by reckless or distracted drivers.
  • Slip and Falls: Hazardous conditions on properties leading to head trauma.
  • Workplace Accidents: Construction site injuries or falls from heights.
  • Medical Malpractice: Failure to diagnose or treat brain injuries properly.
  • Sports Injuries: Concussions or head trauma from contact sports.

If negligence played a role in your TBI, Figured Law Firm’s experienced Pennsylvania traumatic brain injury lawyers can help you hold the responsible parties accountable.

Pennsylvania Law and Traumatic Brain Injury Claims

Under Pennsylvania law, victims of TBIs caused by negligence have the right to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim. However, protecting your claim requires swift action and strategic planning. Here’s what you need to know about PA law and your rights:

Statute of Limitations in Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit, including TBI claims, is two years from the date of the injury (42 Pa.C.S. § 5524). If you fail to file within this timeframe, you may lose your right to seek compensation. Exceptions may apply, such as in cases of delayed discovery of the injury—consult a PA traumatic brain injury lawyer at Figured Law Firm to evaluate your situation.

Comparative Negligence Rule

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule (42 Pa.C.S. § 7102). This means that if you’re partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you’re found to be more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover damages. Our skilled attorneys will work to minimize any blame placed on you and maximize your recovery.

Damages Available in TBI Cases

Victims of traumatic brain injuries in Pennsylvania may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation and long-term care costs

At Figured Law Firm, we collaborate with medical experts and economists to accurately calculate the full extent of your damages.

How to Protect and Preserve Your Traumatic Brain Injury Claim

Taking the right steps after a TBI is critical to building a strong case. Here’s the most important information to protect and preserve your plaintiff’s claim:

  • Seek Immediate Medical Attention
    Your health is the top priority. Even if you feel fine after an accident, some TBI symptoms (like headaches, confusion, or memory issues) may not appear immediately. Prompt medical care creates a record of your injury, which is essential evidence for your claim.
  • Document Everything
    Evidence is the foundation of a successful TBI lawsuit. Preserve your claim by:
    • Taking photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage.
    • Keeping medical records, bills, and receipts related to your injury.
    • Writing down your recollection of the incident while it’s fresh in your mind.
  • Avoid Speaking to Insurance Companies
    Insurance adjusters may contact you soon after the accident, offering a quick settlement. Do not accept or provide a recorded statement without consulting a lawyer. These offers are often far below what your case is worth. Let Figured Law Firm handle all communications to protect your rights.
  • Hire an Experienced Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
    Navigating Pennsylvania law and proving negligence in a TBI case requires legal expertise. At Figured Law Firm, our attorneys will:
  • Investigate the accident thoroughly.
  • Gather witness statements and expert testimony.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies for a fair settlement.
  • Take your case to trial if necessary to secure maximum compensation.

Common Questions About Traumatic Brain Injury Claims

What Are the Symptoms of a TBI?

Symptoms can vary widely but may include:

  • Headaches or dizziness
  • Memory loss or confusion
  • Mood swings or depression
  • Difficulty speaking or moving
  • Loss of consciousness

If you’re experiencing these after an accident, seek medical help and contact a lawyer immediately.

How Much Is My TBI Case Worth?

Can I File a Claim for a Loved One?

Yes, if a family member suffered a TBI and is unable to act on their own behalf, you may file a claim for them. We can also assist with wrongful death claims if a TBI proves fatal.
