Your BPCAB Law traumatic brain injury lawyer will ensure that you get the medical treatment and medications required for your injury as well as any occupational and physical rehabilitation therapy that may be needed.
Compensation for a TBI depends on several different factors. Damages claimed in these types of cases are typically much higher than other personal injury cases with claims in the millions of dollars being a common occurrence. At BPCAB Law, our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis which means we only get paid if your claim or lawsuit has a successful outcome and the amount of compensation that you’re awarded is paid.
The amount of compensation you’re awarded will vary depending on a broad range of factors such as the exact nature of your TBI and loss of income. There should also be compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and any other out-of-pocket expenses related to your case. At the end of the day, our mission at BPCAB Law is to ensure our clients receive the compensation they’re deserving of.

Our traumatic brain injury lawyers will review your circumstances and determine what damages are recoverable as well as the amount of compensation you may be entitled to.
We will collect as much evidence as possible to prove what your injury has cost you emotionally, financially, and physically. We can calculate your economic damages such as lost income, loss of future earnings, medical expenses, and property damage. Plus, we will calculate the value of your non-economic damages including your diminished quality of life, emotional distress and mental anguish, and your pain and suffering in order to establish what your traumatic brain injury case is actually worth.
Furthermore, your traumatic brain injury settlement may include punitive damages, if the at-fault party’s behavior was outrageously egregious or wrongful death damages if you lost a loved one due to the injury they sustained. Once your BPCAB Law personal injury lawyer has estimated what your case is worth, they’ll negotiate a settlement with the opposing party or their insurance company. If negotiations fail, we will litigate your case in a jury trial.
