Why You Need Immediate Legal Representation
A TBI is often an "invisible" injury, making it notoriously difficult to prove to insurance companies that are eager to devalue your claim.
Without a skilled attorney, you risk:
- Missing critical deadlines. In Connecticut, you generally have only two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
- Accepting lowball settlements. Insurers often offer quick cash that fails to account for a lifetime of specialized care and lost earning capacity.
- Complex liability disputes. Whether your injury occurred in a car accident, a construction site mishap, or a fall on public or private property, the duty of care that the other party owed you requires an intensive legal investigation.
How We Can Help Protect Your Future
The Hartford traumatic brain injury attorneys at Polinsky Law Group know the physical and legal hurdles victims face through no fault of their own. The negligent party’s insurance company lawyers will fight hard to contest the claim, but we know how to respond to pursue fair compensation.
We serve as your primary shield and advocate by taking the following steps:
- Building a comprehensive medical profile. We work closely with your doctors, neurologists, and cognitive specialists to document every diagnosis, scan, and treatment plan. In addition, expert medical testimony and exhibits can help explain the issues to a judge and jury.
- Collaboration with other experts. We enlist investigators, life care planners, and accident reconstructionists to prove how the injury happened and what your future needs will cost.
- Evidence gathering. From traffic camera footage and incident reports to expert medical testimony and cognitive test results, we gather the convincing evidence necessary to pursue damages that reflect both past and future needs.
Understanding Liability
Determining who is responsible for a TBI involves assessing whether the negligent party owed you a “duty of care.” For instance, a property owner must keep premises safe; if they fail to fix a known hazard and you suffer a brain injury from a fall, they are liable.
Compensation You May Be Entitled to Recover
Our goal is to protect your right to recover full and just compensation for your catastrophic injury. Depending on the specifics of your case, this may include:
- Economic damages - Past and future medical bills, rehabilitation costs (physical, speech, and occupational therapy), lost wages and earning capacity, and home modifications for accessibility.
- Non-economic damages - Pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Loss of consortium - Compensation for the impact the injury has on your relationship with your spouse or family.
Dedicated Solely to the Injured for Over Four Decades
It’s vital to know that a TBI has many signs and symptoms; you do not have to hit your head directly or lose consciousness in an accident to suffer this type of injury.
If you have suffered such an injury, whether in a car or truck accident, as a pedestrian, or in a slip and fall, putting a seasoned law firm on your side can make a dramatic difference in the outcome of your claim or lawsuit. Our firm has spent decades focusing exclusively on personal injury and workers’ compensation.
We have the resources of a large firm with the personalized touch of a small family-run practice, where our clients become family as well. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no upfront attorney fees.
