Our experienced traumatic brain injury attorneys can investigate to determine what caused your injury and who should be held accountable.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Brain injury victims often face long-term effects from the accident, permeating nearly every part of their lives.
Physical symptoms may require some victims to attend ongoing therapy, make home or vehicle modifications, and purchase assistive devices. After a serious brain injury, some people struggle to maintain relationships, keep steady work, or do the hobbies they once enjoyed. In-home medical care may even be required in the most severe cases.
These effects can all create substantial financial and personal losses that may continue for the rest of your life. Fortunately, New York law may allow you to pursue compensation to account for the harm the at-fault party has caused you.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, your financial recovery may cover your:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation costs
- Long-term care expenses
- Lost wages
- Reduced future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our Queens traumatic brain injury lawyers can help you calculate the value of your claim to ensure it accounts for the full extent of your suffering – both now and in the future.
Wrongful Death After a Fatal Brain Injury
Brain injuries can have devastating consequences, leaving some victims’ families to face a sudden loss in the aftermath of an accident. However, New York law may provide a path to seek justice and financial support through a wrongful death claim.
When a TBI victim dies because of someone else’s wrongful actions, the personal representative of their estate may file this claim on behalf of any eligible surviving family members, which may include the victim’s:
- Spouse and children
- Parents, if there are no children or a spouse
- Siblings, if there are no parents
- Certain other relatives, such as grandparents, if there is no other family
Although no amount of money can make up for what you have lost, a successful wrongful death claim in New York can provide compensation for your financial damages, which may include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses related to the fatal head injury
- Loss of financial support the victim would have provided, including wages and benefits
- Loss of household services, including childcare or maintenance
- Loss of parental guidance and nurturing for minor children
- Reduced inheritance due to premature death
- Interest from the date of death
If you have lost a loved one after a fatal TBI, our compassionate wrongful death attorneys can explain your rights and help you demand the accountability your family deserves.
How Long Do You Have to File a Brain Injury Lawsuit in New York?
New York law gives you limited time to file a brain injury lawsuit. In most cases, you have three years from the date of your injury to start legal action. The deadline is even shorter for fatal brain injury claims, at two years from the date of death.
While some exceptions could extend the time limit, there are also cases where you may have even less time to act. For instance, if a government entity is involved, you must file notice of your claim within just 90 days.
Our knowledgeable attorneys can help you determine the appropriate deadlines for your specific brain injury case and meet them. However, it’s crucial to contact us as soon as possible so we can get started on your case. If you wait, you risk losing key evidence or making innocent mistakes that could jeopardize your claim.
