Understanding Brain Injuries

Brain injuries are often referred to as “invisible” injuries because their effects are not always immediately apparent, yet they can be among the most devastating. Common causes in Washington, D.C. include car accidents, falls, truck or bus crashes, and assaults.

Brain injuries fall into two broad categories:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Caused by external force, such as a blow to the head in a crash or fall. These range from concussions to severe injuries resulting in permanent disability.
• Acquired Brain Injuries: Result from medical conditions such as oxygen deprivation, stroke, or complications from medical malpractice.

Symptoms can vary from headaches, dizziness, and memory loss to profound cognitive decline, paralysis, or changes in personality and behavior. Even mild TBIs can have lasting consequences.

Who May Be Liable in a Brain Injury Case?

Brain injury lawsuits are built on the concept of negligence. In the legal sense, negligence means someone failed to act with the level of care a reasonable person or entity should have exercised under the circumstances. When that failure causes an accident and results in a brain injury, the negligent party can be held liable, or legally responsible, for the harm.

Liability is not limited to a single person. Depending on how the injury occurred, multiple defendants may share responsibility. Common examples include:

• Negligent drivers whose reckless or distracted actions cause crashes leading to head trauma.
• Property owners who fail to repair unsafe conditions, resulting in falls or falling objects.
• Employers that disregard workplace safety rules or fail to provide protective equipment.
• Manufacturers that design or sell defective products, such as faulty helmets or auto parts.
• Medical providers whose errors cause brain injuries through oxygen deprivation, surgical mistakes, or delayed diagnosis.

By investigating thoroughly, gathering evidence, and consulting experts, our attorneys work to identify every liable party. This ensures victims and families can pursue the full compensation available under the law.

Damages in Brain Injury Cases

Because brain injuries often cause lifelong effects, damages can be substantial. Victims and families may recover compensation for:

• Emergency medical care, hospitalization, and surgeries
• Rehabilitation, therapy, and in-home care
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Emotional trauma for both the victim and family
• Wrongful death damages when a brain injury proves fatal

We work with medical and financial experts to project the lifetime costs of care and ensure no loss is overlooked.

The Claims Process

While every case is unique, most brain injury claims follow several steps:

1. Investigation – Gathering accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert evaluations.
2. Claim Filing – Presenting a demand to the responsible party’s insurer.
3. Negotiation – Seeking a fair settlement that reflects the full impact of the injury.
4. Litigation – Preparing for trial if the defendant refuses to accept responsibility.

Our goal is to shoulder the legal burden so you can focus on recovery.

Washington, D.C. Brain Injury FAQ

How Long Do I Have to File a Brain Injury Claim?

Most personal injury lawsuits in D.C. must be filed within three years. If the case involves a government agency, notice may be required within six months.

What If Symptoms Didn’t Appear Right Away?

Brain injuries often have delayed onset symptoms. Even if you did not realize the extent of the harm immediately, you may still have a valid claim if negligence caused the injury.

Can a “Mild” Brain Injury Still Be Serious?

Yes. Even concussions can result in long-term cognitive, emotional, or physical impairments. Courts and insurers may minimize these cases, but we fight to prove their impact.

Do Brain Injury Cases Usually Go to Trial?

Many settle, but because damages are often high, insurers resist paying fair compensation. Our firm has the resources and track record to take these cases to trial when necessary.
