Frequently Asked Questions Answered by Our Manhattan, KS, Brain Injury Lawyers
If you or someone you know has experienced a head injury, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Brain injuries are complex and require specialized care. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the best possible outcome. The following are answers to frequently asked questions our brain injury attorneys receive from new clients.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is usually the result of a violent blow to the head. An injury to the brain can also be caused by an object that goes through brain tissue, such as a sharp object or a bullet.
You have a right to file a lawsuit for a brain injury in Kansas within two years from the date of the injury or two years from when the injury becomes “reasonably ascertainable,” or in other words when the injured person discovers or becomes aware of an injury. However, a lawsuit for a latent discovery of a brain injury cannot be filed beyond 10 years from the original date of the accident.
- The injured victim
- If the victim is a minor, the victim’s parent or legal guardian
- If the victim is incapacitated, a person with power of attorney.
Traumatic brain injuries cause an immediate injury to the brain and can get better with time; but, brain injuries caused by electrical shock typically do not manifest a traumatic injury at first and will show signs of a brain injury over time.
Brain injuries are commonly caused by the following types of injuries and negligence:
- Car accidents
- Falls
- Work injuries
- Boat accidents
- Sports injuries
- Violent assaults
- Swimming accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products or drugs.
Every brain injury case is unique, so the amount recovered for damages will vary. The most common types of compensation recoverable include past and future medical expenses, past and future loss of income, and past and future pain and suffering. In some cases, a court may find that exemplary or punitive damages may be awarded under Kansas law.
A brain injury can happen anytime, to anyone. It can be difficult to predict how someone will feel after a brain injury. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for minimizing the long-term effects of a traumatic brain injury.
If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, you may be wondering how an attorney can help. In cases where brain injuries are serious or the case is complex, it is important to at least seek the advice of experienced legal representation.
Depending on the severity of the injury and the insurance coverage available, insurance companies invest significant amounts of money and resources to fight brain injury cases. Big insurance companies routinely use tactics to try and undervalue the amount of compensation you are entitled to receive.
“Insurance companies are not in the business of helping people with brain injuries. That’s the difference with the Palmer Law Group – helping people with brain injuries is our business.”
