A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can change your life in an instant, and the road to recovery is often long, uncertain, and financially overwhelming. Between hospital stays, rehabilitation, time away from work, and the emotional toll on families, the actual cost of a brain injury extends far beyond initial medical treatment. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, a personal injury lawyer can help pursue the compensation you need to support your recovery and protect your financial future.
At Elmore Law Office, our Portsmouth personal injury attorney represents brain injury victims across New Hampshire and Massachusetts who are facing the steep costs of recovery. Here’s how we can help.
Understanding the Real Costs of Brain Injury Recovery
Recovering from a brain injury often involves more than emergency care or a few follow-up appointments. Many survivors require extensive physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language treatment, neurological assessments, and ongoing mental health support. Some can never return to their prior jobs—or live independently again.
Costs may include:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization.
- Surgical procedures or intensive care.
- Inpatient rehabilitation or assisted living.
- Long-term therapy and counseling.
- Lost income and reduced future earning potential.
- Home modifications or medical equipment.
- Support for family caregivers.
These expenses can easily exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime, often before insurance begins to cover what’s needed.
How a Personal Injury Lawyer Builds Your Case for Compensation
Navigating insurance claims and proving the full extent of your injuries is not easy, especially when you’re focused on healing. A personal injury attorney understands how to build a strong legal case that clearly shows how the injury occurred, who was at fault, and what your financial needs will be going forward.
At Elmore Law Office, we gather critical evidence such as:
- Medical records and physician testimony.
- Expert opinions on future care needs.
- Employment and wage records.
- Witness statements and investigative reports.
- Life care plans and economic loss evaluations.
This detailed approach helps us pursue compensation for all past, current, and future damages, not just what insurance companies are initially willing to offer.
Securing Compensation from All Available Sources
Many people don’t realize they may be entitled to compensation from multiple parties after a brain injury, not just the individual or company directly responsible. Depending on the case, we may explore coverage from auto insurance, property owners, employers, government entities, or manufacturers of defective products.
We also negotiate with lienholders, such as health insurers or Medicare, to ensure you keep as much of your settlement as possible.
We aim to win your case and ensure the financial recovery supports your long-term needs.
We Don’t Get Paid Unless You Do
Hiring a lawyer might seem like an added expense, but at Elmore Law Office, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing up front, and we only receive legal fees if we win your case.
