How the Hughes & Coleman® Injury Lawyers Team Can Help You After a Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury can change every aspect of your life. It can rob you of your ability to work, your quality of life, your memory and cognitive skills, and even your ability to function on your own and carry out normal daily activities of life.
Aside from the deleterious effects on your health, it can cost thousands of dollars or more per month to treat. If it takes away your ability to work, it can lead to even greater financial stress.
The Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers team can help. Here is what we can do for you as your Elizabethtown brain injury lawyers:
Identify the Responsible Parties
When we investigate your case, we first identify all responsible parties. Even if you are not sure that your injury was someone else’s fault, we want to talk to you. As we investigate your injury, we can often obtain evidence to show how another party caused or contributed to it.
Collect Evidence and Build a Compelling Case
Evidence forms the linchpin of the case. Without it, we cannot demonstrate liability and thus cannot recover damages. We, therefore, pour a lot of resources into gathering and assembling a robust portfolio of evidence. The evidence we gather may include:
- Witness statements
- Police reports
- Photographs
- Video surveillance
- Expert witness testimony
- Accident reconstruction
- The responsible party’s statements
- Medical records
- Lab tests
Negotiate for Compensation
To recover the compensation you need, our team may need to negotiate. Whether it is directly with the responsible party or with their insurer, the Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers team knows how to manage negotiations and recover damages. We are ready for any tactic the insurance company may use to try to pay you less, and we will counter it.
Work with Your Creditors
Nothing compounds the stress of a severe injury like a fast-growing stack of bills. If you cannot work because of your injury, you may have difficulty paying medical and other bills, and creditors could start calling if they have not already.
Our Elizabethtown Brain Injury Lawyers Fight to Recover Damages for You
Another important part of our investigation is valuing your claim. We want to know the exact damages you have incurred so that we can assign a dollar value to your case. That way we know exactly what we are seeking as we begin the negotiation process.
Every brain injury case is different, and a host of factors will determine the value of yours. That said, your settlement or verdict may include some or all of the following damages:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost income from work
- Reduced earning capacity, if your injuries require you to take a lesser-paying job or retire
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
We Have Helped Clients Recover Damages for All Types of Brain Injury Accidents
No matter how your injury occurred, we want to talk to you, evaluate your case, and see how we can help. Our firm handles the following types of brain injuries and more:
- Falls
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Bicycle or pedestrian accidents
You Have a Limited Time to Take Legal Action, Do Not Delay
The statute of limitations on both personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits in Kentucky is only one year. Since the clock starts ticking as soon as you suffer injury, it is vital to take action quickly or you risk recovering nothing and having no legal recourse.
Our lawyers understand the stress you are under and the number of items on your plate after a brain injury. We know that you may struggle to find time to sit down with a lawyer. But once we take your case, we can make your life easier and we can help you recover damages.
Do not delay and risk running out of time. Call Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers at 800-800-4600 today for a free case evaluation.
