Accountability for Your Brain Injury

If you have experienced a brain injury caused by someone else, you may be entitled to pursue valuable damages from the liable party, including:

• Medical treatment costs
• Lost income and missed employment opportunities
• Pain and suffering
• Mental and emotional anguish
• Loss of the ability to enjoy life
• Loss of consortium.

To benefit from these damages, injury victims need legal representation to build a strong case for liability. Whether someone is liable depends on the circumstances of the accident which caused the injury.

Traffic Accidents

If your brain injury occurs during a traffic accident, you will likely be entitled to limited coverage up to a point by personal insurance protection (PIP), regardless of fault. However, if your brain injury is serious enough, you may be entitled to pursue full compensation for your damages. In this case, your Manhattan, KS, brain injury lawyer must prove some sort of negligence or unlawful act.

In traffic, these acts may include:

• Drunk driving
• Failure to yield
• Speeding
• Driving while drowsy.

Keep in mind that motorcycle riders must also purchase PIP insurance, which is not always the case in other states following no-fault insurance rules.

Property Owner Negligence

Property owner negligence typically manifests as a failure to remedy a dangerous condition, such as:

• Slippery or slick walking surfaces
• Broken stairs or guardrails
• Blocked or cluttered entrances and exits
• Strewn cords or cables
• Holes in the ground
• Lack of adequate security.

Both property owners and tenants may face liability in cases such as these. At Palmer Law Group, we make sure all liable parties are held to account.

Negligence at Work

In personal injury law, third parties to work accidents (that is, anyone not employer or employee) can be held liable for full damages. If a third party was instrumental in your accident, Palmer Law Group will find them and hold them accountable.

Intentional Acts

Intentional acts that cause brain injuries are typically criminal in nature. Perpetrators may use weapons, such as a gun or a bat, or no weapon at all. In some of these cases, a criminal prosecution will parallel the civil case for damages. Even if the state chooses not to prosecute an offender, the victim may still seek damages for their injuries.

Medical Malpractice

Negligent healthcare professionals can cause brain injuries in many different ways, including through failure to diagnose, improper surgical procedures, and the improper use of medication or equipment. Palmer Law Group works hard to hold them liable for the losses they create.
