Kenosha Traumatic Brain Injuries Attorney
A traumatic brain injury can happen in an instant but change your life forever. Here in Kenosha and Racine counties, whether from a car accident on I-94, a workplace incident or a slip and fall, the effects of a brain injury often extend far beyond initial medical care. As your injury lawyer at Law Office of Paul M. Gagliardi, I understand the complex nature of these cases and the importance of securing compensation that accounts for both immediate and long-term needs.
The Critical Impact Of Early Medical Care
After any accident involving head trauma, seeking immediate medical care is crucial because:
- Some brain injury symptoms develop gradually
- Medical records link your injury to the accident
- Early treatment often leads to better outcomes
- Documentation strengthens your legal claim
- Insurance companies scrutinize delayed treatment
Getting proper medical care protects both your health and your legal rights.
Understanding The Long-Term Costs Of Brain Trauma
Brain injuries often require:
- Extensive rehabilitation
- Long-term medical care
- Occupational therapy
- Cognitive therapy
- Life care planning
- Home modifications
These costs, combined with lost wages and diminished earning capacity, require thorough documentation to ensure fair compensation.
What Qualifies As A Brain Injury?
Brain injuries range from mild concussions to severe trauma. Here in Kenosha and Racine counties, I’ve helped clients with various types of brain injuries, including those from car accidents, workplace incidents and falls. Each case requires thorough medical documentation and expert evaluation to establish the injury’s severity and long-term impact.
How Long Does A Traumatic Brain Injury Settlement Take?
Brain injury settlements typically take longer than standard injury cases because we need to understand the full extent of your injuries and future medical needs. While some cases settle within months, complex cases may take longer to ensure we secure appropriate compensation for your long-term care needs.
What Is Brain Injury Compensation?
Settlement amounts vary significantly based on injury severity, required treatment and life impact. For residents of Kenosha and Racine counties, I’ll evaluate your specific situation, including local medical expenses, lost wages and future care needs, to determine fair compensation that reflects our region’s health care costs.
How Long Can You Sue For A Brain Injury?
Wisconsin law sets specific deadlines for filing brain injury claims. Acting quickly helps preserve crucial evidence and protect your legal rights. For brain injury victims in Kenosha and Racine, proving your case requires local medical expertise and thorough documentation.
I work with respected medical professionals throughout southeastern Wisconsin to build strong cases that include:
