• Life Care Planners: Our attorneys work alongside life care planners to estimate future medical care needs and associated costs after a traumatic brain injury. They analyze medical records before assigning costs to each projected healthcare need, factoring current medical expenses, potential inflation, and potential treatment options over time.
• Mental Health Experts: Evaluating the mental health impacts a traumatic brain injury experiences is imperative for securing compensation for psychological trauma and mental suffering. Our network includes psychologists and psychiatrists who assess symptoms of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

How Much Is a Traumatic Brain Injury Worth?

The amount of compensation you may receive for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) depends on factors such as the severity of the injury, the impact on your daily life, the extent of your healthcare expenses, and projected long-term care needs.

Our Miami traumatic brain injury lawyers calculate the economic damages in your case before determining a value for your non-economic damages. Your economic and non-economic losses are the actual damages in your claim.

In particularly heinous accidents resulting in traumatic brain injury, a jury may award punitive damages as additional compensation for the devastating consequences the injury has left on your life. However, they are not calculable or commonly occurring in personal injury lawsuits.

Economic Damages

Our team will factor in all economic damages in our compensation calculations before sending a demand letter to the responsible parties. Your economic damages are any financial losses incurred due to your accident and traumatic brain injury.

Typical economic damages related to traumatic brain injuries include:

• Medical Expenses: All healthcare costs relating to your accident are calculated damages in your TBI claim. These expenses include emergency, surgical, primary, and home health care treatments and procedures. They also entail physical therapy, orthopedics, and other rehabilitation services. We will calculate insurance copays, deductibles, and pharmaceutical costs.
• Long-Term Healthcare: England Peebles assesses your long-term medical care needs with treating doctors and medical professionals in our resource network to include projected calculations. Long-term care may include ongoing rehab services, future surgical procedures, specialty medical devices, and assisted living or nursing home needs.
• Lost Wages: Our TBI attorneys seek the income you were unable to earn due to your traumatic brain injury from missed work, reduced hours, or the need to switch to a lower-paying job due to your TBI. These can include lost wages, bonuses, and benefits. In severe cases, our team works with vocational rehabilitation experts to determine compensation for loss of earning capacity.
• Property Damages: Your claim will be carefully evaluated, including vehicle repairs and personal belongings such as cell phones, jewelry, and other valuables affected in personal injury accidents. Additional property expenses that can be calculated include damages to commercial and residential buildings and landscaping.
• Transportation Costs: Rental car, rideshare, taxi, bus, and other transportation costs incurred because your vehicle was in the shop or totaled can be included when valuing your economic damages. We may file for wheelchair-accessible vehicle costs.
• Household Services: When a TBI is severe enough to warrant help with household services, the costs can be recovered. These include assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)—such as bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting—and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), like grocery shopping, house cleaning, medication reminders, and managing finances.
• Disability Damages: Home and transportation modifications to accommodate disability qualify as economic damages. Home modifications include accessible bathrooms, chair lifts, ramps, and the installation of levers and handrails. Transportation modifications may include adaptive equipment for driving, such as spinner knobs for steering, hand controls for brakes and gas, and vehicle lifts. 

We can prove your economic damages with receipts and other documents that detail your expenses, such as billing statements, repair invoices, and estimates for modifications or repairs. Please bring evidence of your financial losses to your free case evaluation. This helps us better understand how we can serve your legal needs.

Non-Economic Damages

The non-economic damages are the intangible losses suffered with a traumatic brain injury. They are not as easily quantifiable without the assistance of a Miami traumatic brain injury lawyer. You need thorough documentation and witness testimony to secure compensation for intangible losses.

Non-economic damages we may determine value for in your claim include:

• Pain and Suffering: Your physical pain and emotional distress are compensable damages. We assess symptoms, including sleep disturbances, mental anguish, fear, anger, and life-long pain management. Traumatic brain injury victims should keep a detailed journal documenting pain and suffering when feasible.
• Decreased Quality of Life: A TBI can significantly decrease your quality of life, and you deserve compensation for the inconvenience. This damage considers functional limitations, including the lost ability to drive, as well as psychological impact, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: A common occurrence of TBI is the loss of enjoyment of life. Our Miami traumatic brain injury lawyers may determine the value of this damage when TBIs significantly impact your ability to enjoy things you found pleasure in before your traumatic brain injury. For example, when TBI victims can no longer go dancing, play sports, or participate in hobbies or social engagements they previously enjoyed.
• Lost Years: Moderate to severe TBI is a lifelong condition that the CDC reports can reduce a person’s life expectancy by nine years. There is an increased risk of death stemming from complications, including infections, respiratory issues, and seizures. Englander Peebles will work with economist specialists to calculate lost years into your compensation when relevant.
• Loss of Consortium: Uninjured spouses and domestic partners may file a claim for loss of consortium when suffering the loss of intangible relationship benefits due to their loved one’s TBI. It compensated for losing companionship, love, affection, physical intimacy, guidance, and support. Children or parents who lose a loved one may also recover loss of consortium compensation in Florida.

Trust a Miami traumatic brain lawyer at Englander Peebles to evaluate the damages in your traumatic brain injury claim or lawsuit. Insurance companies cannot be counted on to assign fair value to damages or pay reasonable settlements without an experienced attorney attached to your claim.

We fight for maximum compensation for the devastating implications of severe traumatic brain injury.

Wrongful Death Damages

Families experiencing the loss of a loved one due to a traumatic brain injury caused by another’s negligence may have a right to recover compensation in a wrongful death claim. These damages include compensation for their loved one’s losses, including final medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

However, we help families also recover compensation for the following wrongful death damages:

• Loss of inheritance
• Loss of financial support
• Loss of consortium
• Final arrangement costs, such as funeral, burial, and cremation
• Loss of parental guidance
• Loss of household services

In Florida, the executor or personal representative named in a person’s will or by the probate court can file wrongful death. Speak to an attorney at Englander Peebles to explain the circumstances of your case and determine if we can recover compensation to alleviate financial hardship during your time of need.

Englander Peebles Demands Fair Compensation for TBIs

Englander Peebles understands firsthand the importance of fair compensation and will not settle for anything less. We are skilled negotiators who will demand reasonable compensation for your traumatic brain injury.

Insurance companies are known for employing countless tactics to undervalue and deny valid insurance claims, including:

• Misrepresenting policy language and terms
• Requesting unnecessary documentation to delay claims processes
• Pressuring accident victims to provide recorded statements they may use against them later to dismiss liability
• Attempting to get access to accident victims’ complete medical records
• Blaming symptoms on pre-existing conditions
• Contesting medical treatments and procedures to minimize payouts
• Making threatening statements to intimidate claimants into settling
• Sending lowball quick settlement offers

Englander Peebles won’t tolerate claim delays or other bad-faith insurance company tactics. Insurers are no match against our dedication to ensuring our clients secure the settlements they deserve.
