DETROIT BRAIN INJURY ATTORNEY

Our brain injury attorneys have experience with the following types of cases:

• Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents: In Michigan, about 30% of traumatic brain injuries are caused by car crashes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury-related hospitalizations for people aged 15 to 44 years old.
• Slip-and-falls: The CDC cites falls as the leading cause of TBI. Falls accounted for almost half of all traumatic brain injury-related emergency department visits. Falls disproportionately affect children and older adults.
• Medical Malpractice: A doctor has a duty to perform up to the standard of care established by the medical community. Medical malpractice can occur when a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider deviates from that standard of care and causes an injury.
• Workplace Accidents: If you suffer a brain injury on the job, you may be able to recover compensation through workers’ compensation benefits.
• Acts of Violence: According to the CDC, being struck by or against an object was the second leading cause of traumatic brain injury-related emergency department visits, accounting for about 17% of these visits in the United States in 2014. 
• Other causes of brain injuries include sports injuries, bicycle accidents, exposure to toxic substances, and defective products.

To have a valid case, you must have been injured by a negligent, reckless, or intentional act of another, such as a careless doctor or a drunk driver. The defendant’s negligence must have been directly responsible for your injury or damage that occurred.

If you or a loved one have suffered a brain injury because of someone else's negligence, you may be able to recover compensation for economic damages, as well as any intangible losses such as loss of life’s enjoyment.

Every lawsuit is different, but you may be able to recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages including:

• Medical Bills: This may include expenses related to doctors' visits, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and occupational therapy.
• Pain and Suffering: You may be eligible to pursue monetary damages for any lasting physical or emotional pain, such as brain damage or amnesia.
• Loss of Life’s Enjoyment: You may also be entitled to compensation for your inability to participate in activities that you once enjoyed.
• Lost Wages: You may be able to recover compensation for any lost wages that resulted from your brain trauma, as well as compensation for any damage to your future earning ability.
• Wrongful Death: If a loved one’s brain injury was fatal, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. In this type of lawsuit, you can pursue compensation for any financial damages, such as funeral costs or lost wages, resulting from your loved one’s death. You may also be able to file a lawsuit for the unique losses you face, including pain and suffering and loss of companionship.
