What Compensation Can a Brain Injury Victim Recover?

Every brain injury case is different, but depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:

Economic Damages

• Emergency care, hospitalization, and surgery
• Rehabilitation, therapy, and long-term medical treatment
• In-home care, assisted living, or nursing care
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Home modifications, medical equipment, and life-care needs

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of companionship and strain on family relationships

Punitive Damages

In cases involving gross negligence or reckless misconduct, punitive damages may be available to punish and deter outrageous behavior.

We work with medical experts, life-care planners, and economists to make sure the full lifetime impact of the injury is properly valued.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden force causes damage to the brain, such as when the head strikes an object or is violently shaken.

Common causes include:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle crashes
• Falls
• Workplace and construction accidents
• Defective products

There are also non-traumatic (acquired) brain injuries, such as those caused by oxygen deprivation, strokes, aneurysms, or medical malpractice.

Primary vs. Secondary Brain Injuries

• The primary injury happens at the moment of impact.
• The secondary injury develops in the hours and days that follow due to swelling, bleeding, and chemical changes in the brain.

Secondary injuries often cause additional and permanent damage, which is why early treatment and long-term medical evaluation are so important—and why insurance companies so often underestimate these cases.

How Brain Injuries Can Affect a Person’s Life

Every brain injury is different, but common long-term effects include:

How Brain Injuries Affect Thinking & Memory

• Confusion and disorientation
• Memory loss
• Trouble concentrating or learning new things
• Poor judgment and problem-solving
• Difficulty completing everyday tasks

How Brain Injuries Affect Movement & Senses

• Paralysis or weakness
• Balance and coordination problems
• Chronic fatigue
• Vision, hearing, or speech problems
• Loss or distortion of sensation

How Brain Injuries Can Change Personality & Emotions

• Mood swings or emotional outbursts
• Depression or anxiety
• Impulsiveness or aggression
• Loss of motivation or social withdrawal
• Changes that place strain on marriages and families

These changes often affect the entire family, not just the injured person.

Brain Injury Recovery Is Uncertain

Legal planning matters in brain injury cases. Some victims improve. Some never return to who they were before. Many require lifelong care and support.

Because brain cells often do not regenerate, recovery can involve learning to adapt rather than fully heal. This uncertainty is exactly why brain injury cases must be handled with long-term financial planning in mind, not short-term settlements.

Mississippi Law & Brain Injury Claims

Mississippi follows a pure comparative negligence system, which means compensation can still be available even if the injured person was partially at fault. These cases require careful legal strategy to protect your recovery from being unfairly reduced.
