Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Recovering Damages

I’m Mike Hackard from Hackard Law. We help people who have been hurt or lost money due to someone else’s carelessness or misconduct.

Many of these cases involve injuries caused by careless drivers in car accidents. Car accidents cause about 1 in 4 traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

If you’re hurt in a crash, your settlement or requested trial verdict should cover these injuries. Every case is unique, and certain aspects of an injury may be more significant than others. Here are some common types of damages:

Financial Damages:

Medical expenses (current and future)
Medication costs
Cognitive rehabilitation and therapy
Lost income
Reduced earning potential
Neuropsychological evaluations
Home modifications for accessibility
Assistive devices and mobility aids

Non-Economic Damages (Pain and Suffering): Pain and suffering damages are crucial. We always consider:

Severity of the harm
Duration of the injury
Extent of interference with daily life

Pain and suffering encompass:

Physical pain
Emotional distress
Diminished quality of life
Scarring or disfigurement
Physical limitations
Inconvenience
Grief
Anxiety
Humiliation
Mental anguish

Documenting all losses, both economic and non-economic, is essential in personal injury cases.

If you’d like to discuss your case with us, please contact Hackard Law at 916-313-3030. We’re here to help.
