A head injury attorney can protect your rights every step of the way, combatting claims adjusters to fight for the best possible outcome for your case. If you need to take an insurer to trial for fair compensation, our Birmingham head injury lawyers can represent you before a judge and jury.
About Head and Back Injuries
An injury to the head could cause a skull fracture, concussion, traumatic brain injury, swelling in the brain or hemorrhage. A back injury could permanently interrupt the messaging system between the spinal cord and the brain, causing irreversible conditions such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. Even a more minor back injury could cause chronic pain and a loss of mobility. Injuries to the head and back can be catastrophic by legal definition.
- Temporarily or permanently disabling
- Causing the loss of a major bodily function
- Damaging to the internal organs
- Resulting in permanent scars, disfigurement or loss of limb
- Causing immense pain and suffering
- Causing cognitive impairment
If you have a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence, that person may owe you a certain amount for your past and future damages. Bringing an insurance claim or personal injury cause of action with help from the head injury lawyers at Drake Injury Lawyers could lead to a compensatory award to cover all the medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, emotional suffering, property damages, future losses and more connected to your head or back injury.
Do You Have a Claim?
Not every head and back injury in Shoals will give you the opportunity to file a claim to damages. You or your head injury lawyer must be able to establish a few main elements to have a sound case. The first is a defendant’s duty of care. The person you are claiming is liable for your injury must have owed you a duty to exercise reasonable care at the time of your accident. The second is a breach of duty. The defendant must have done something a reasonable person would not have to cause your accident. The third is causation: the defendant’s breach of duty caused your injuries. The fourth is proof of your damages.
