Call an Enfield Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Right Away
Traumatic brain injuries can make it impossible for you to take care of yourself for an extended period of time, if not for the foreseeable future. If you want to financially recover from an injury that someone else caused, it’s in your best interest to have a trained legal professional on your side.
We encourage you to get in touch with a personal injury lawyer in Enfield right away after a serious accident. If you can’t call a representative, you can ask a loved one to make a call for you. Our team can then meet with you, discuss your circumstances, and outline how you might hold negligent parties responsible for your recovery.
Your case consultations with our team come free of charge, and our team works on contingency. In other words, you don’t have to worry about the financial burden of working with a lawyer, because there isn’t one. You can learn more about our contingency fee policies during a consultation with our staff members.
Don’t Accept Any Preemptive Settlement Offers
If you want to preserve your right to long-term legal action or fair compensation through an insurer, do not accept any of the initial settlement offers you receive from a liable party. These offers often significantly undervalue your losses and, in some cases, insist that you waive your right to future action.
If you do receive a settlement offer from the party responsible for your losses, we recommend sharing it with an attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can conduct their own calculations, determine the value of all of your accident losses, and turn away a settlement that doesn’t acknowledge the financial strain that you’re facing.
Turning down an initial settlement offer will not make it impossible to recover later. In fact, working with an Enfield traumatic brain injury attorney to counter an initial offer lets the offerer and their insurer know that you’re serious about your recovery.

You Need to Stay on Top of Doctors’ Visits
When financially recovering from a traumatic brain injury, you can choose to file an insurance claim with a relevant provider or sue the party liable for your losses. Either way, you need to continue going to your doctors’ appointments, physical therapy, and other recommended treatments. Your health and recovery are very important!
Consistent medical care lets insurers and other parties know that your injuries are continuing to have an impact on your everyday life. If you start neglecting your appointments, you put your right to ask for financial support at risk.
Proving Negligence in a Traumatic Brain Injury Case
Both insurance claims and traumatic brain injury lawsuits require you to present applicable parties with evidence indicating that:
- A liable party owed you a duty of care at the time of your accident.
- A liable party violated their duty of care, putting you at risk for a TBI.
- That violation substantially contributed to causing your accident and injury.
- You’ve suffered financial losses as a result of a liable party’s negligence.
Our Enfield, CT, traumatic brain injury attorneys make these points with evidence. You can trust us to pull medical records, police reports, electronic data, witness statements, and additional expert witness testimony to build out your case.
This effort allows us to meet the burden of proof needed to move your fight for compensation forward. The more evidence of negligence you have, the easier it will be to argue for your right to damages that address all of your economic and non-economic losses.

Asking for Compensatory Damages
When asking for financial support after a traumatic brain injury, you should account for the value of your economic and non-economic expenses. Our team can calculate the value of your economic costs by looking at your medical invoices, treatment plans, pay stubs, and maintenance bills. This data allows you to ask for compensation based on your:
- Healthcare expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost benefits, as applicable
- Property damage, repairs and restorative efforts
We can then account for the value of your non-economic losses by assessing your reduced quality of life, pain and suffering, reduced enjoyment, and emotional distress.
If you lose a loved one as a result of a traumatic brain injury, you may have the right to open a wrongful death case against a negligent party. These cases allow you to get justice for a life cut short while also demanding compensation based on a loved one’s lost income, hospice care, and funeral expenses, among other costs.
