Brain Injuries Can Cost You Your Livelihood and Ability to Care for Yourself
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have a profound impact on nearly every aspect of a person’s life.
Physically, they may cause headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, vision problems, or even paralysis, making everyday activities difficult or impossible. Some victims face permanent disabilities that require ongoing medical care.
Financially, the costs can be overwhelming. Medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, ongoing care, and lost income from being unable to work can quickly drain savings, creating long-term financial strain for victims and their families.
Emotionally, brain injuries often bring changes in mood, personality, and cognitive abilities. Victims may experience depression, anxiety, frustration, or difficulty maintaining relationships, adding to the emotional toll.
The combination of physical limitations, financial pressure, and emotional challenges can make recovery an uphill battle, one that not only calls for medical support, but that can also benefit from strong legal advocacy to help secure the resources needed to rebuild life after a devastating injury. Our team will fight for every dollar your brain injury has cost and will continue to cost you. We can recover the following damages for you:
- Medical bills for MRIs, CT scans, emergency transportation, emergency surgery, prescription medications, and ongoing care
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity if your TBI affects your ability to work long-term
- Miscellaneous injury-related expenses, such as the cost of transportation to treatment, widening doorways in your home to accommodate a wheelchair, child care, yard maintenance, or housekeeping
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- The effect your TBI has on your loved ones (e.g., your mood swings or anger)
If you lost a loved one to a brain injury, please accept our most sincere condolences. While we know no amount of money will change this situation, a settlement or award can make it easier to stay afloat while you grieve.

How Long Do I Have to Act After a Brain Injury?
In most cases, New York law only gives you three years to file a lawsuit after an injury. We recommend that you don’t wait. Evidence can disappear, while witnesses might forget crucial details. Getting us involved early gives us the time to gather necessary evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.
Three years can also pass quickly when you are recovering from or caring for a loved one with a serious brain injury. If you don’t file your lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires, you risk recovering nothing. You can still negotiate with the insurance company, but the adjuster won’t give you what you deserve.

Brain Injury FAQs
What Is the Average Settlement for a Brain Injury?
There is no average settlement for a brain injury, as each TBI and the way it affects a person is unique. However, certain factors will affect the amount an injury victim is able to recover, including:
- The severity of the injury: There are three levels of TBI severity (mild, moderate, and severe). In most cases, a more severe injury will have higher medical bills, lost wages, and other related damages.
- How long it will affect the sufferer: Someone with a concussion who is able to return to work with no long-term effects will likely recover less than someone with a moderate or severe TBI who is unable to work or care for themselves.
- Whether the victim is able to go back to work: Someone who can go back to work after a month or two will likely recover less than someone who is unable to return to the workforce.
- Their age and profession: A younger person who suffers a TBI with long-term effects will likely recover more than an older person with the same long-term effects, as they have a longer time before retirement. Someone with a more lucrative career will likely recover more than someone who makes less.
How Long Does It Take for a Brain Injury Case to Settle?
This depends on the specifics of your case. If the insurance company is dragging its feet, which is common with high-value cases, it could take longer than if it offers a fair settlement right away. Our team will do everything in our power to get you the settlement you deserve as quickly as possible.
Can I Negotiate a Settlement Without a Lawyer?
You can negotiate a settlement without a lawyer, but you’ll likely find it’s not as much as you’d hoped it would be. Our lawyers will ensure that your settlement includes all your losses and protect you from the insurance company’s attempts to devalue your losses.
