Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys in Foley, AL

Humans are the most highly developed species on Earth—because of our brains. A person who has suffered a traumatic injury to the brain may be permanently altered; brain damage can affect personality, intellect, creativity, and memory. It is a devastating type of injury for the victim and the victim’s family, and, in severe cases, brain injuries can lead to paralysis, inability to communicate, coma, or death.

You may be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence or fault. Our skilled Foley personal injury attorney including our team of brain injury specialists, will work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve, whether through insurance claims or a personal injury lawsuit. Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana Foley is dedicated to helping you navigate the legal process and recover the maximum damages for your losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

The Brain Injury Association of America reports that over 1.5 million people face traumatic brain injuries (TBI) every year, and at least 50,000 individuals will die from their injuries. Caring for a brain-injury victim can be an expensive and exhausting life-long task.

While no amount of money can compensate for the tragedy of a brain injury, compensation can help relieve your burdens by covering the costs of medical and rehabilitative treatment and continuing care and by replacing lost wages from being unable to work.

Foley brain injury claims can be complicated. Making mistakes can be costly, and insurance companies will attempt to deny claims and pay out as little as possible. Fortunately, you do not have to fight for compensation on your own.  At Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana, our skilled brain injury attorneys, including our Alabama birth injury lawyer, possess extensive experience in dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers to achieve optimal compensation for your injuries. We are fully prepared to advocate for you in court if negotiations break down.

We are well-versed in the laws governing brain injuries in Foley, Alabama.

We Fight to Win Economic and Non-Economic Damages

In a successful brain injury case, our brain injury lawyers may win an award covering all your losses. Referred to as “damages” in legal terms, your award should include your economic or monetary damages that cover costs that include:

• Medical care, including doctor visits, hospitalization, ongoing care, therapy, rehabilitation, medications, and medical devices and equipment
• Modifications to your home or vehicle
• Damage to your vehicle or other property resulting from the accident
• Lost income and future income if you can’t work.

You may also receive compensation for your “non-economic” damages that do not have a specific dollar value but negatively impact your life. This includes the physical and emotional pain, suffering, depression, and anxiety you’ve experienced, and your loss of quality of life and consortium.

At Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana, our Foley brain injury lawyers know how important it is to receive payment for all the challenges you face. Rest assured that we will fight for the optimum settlement you are entitled to.

When someone’s negligence causes injury to another, the negligent party can be held liable for the damages. To win your case, our Foley brain injury attorneys must prove that your brain injury was caused by another party’s negligence, recklessness, or fault. Legally, this means showing the following elements exist:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care not to cause harm.
• The defendant breached this duty by acting or failing to act.
• This breach caused your injury.
• You suffered actual damages as a result.

To prove negligence, our legal team would investigate how your brain injury occurred and find potential responsible parties. In some cases, there may be more than one negligent party, and our attorneys would look to name them all as defendants as they all may have insurance and assets that could go toward a settlement.  An example would be if your brain injury occurred due to an accident with a commercial truck – the truck driver, the trucking company, the truck maintenance personnel, and the manufacturer of a part that may have failed could all be held liable.

If a brain injury is fatal, our lawyers can file a lawsuit for wrongful death. According to Alabama law (Ala. Code § 6-5-410), a wrongful death is defined as one that is caused by the “wrongful act, omission, or negligence” of another.  This means an individual or corporation can be held liable and sued if their negligence or fault caused the death. A wrongful death case may be brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate.

In Foley, wrongful death awards are usually distributed to the heirs according to the rules of “intestate succession,” the rules usually used when a person dies without a valid will. This means the surviving spouse and children of the deceased will share the reward. Parents typically share the award equally if a minor child dies.

The brain injury attorneys at Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana are experienced in handling high-stakes, high-value cases such as brain injuries. We work diligently to identify all liable parties to get you or your family member a fair settlement that will help you move forward with your life.

While most injury cases settle out of court, we are experienced and skilled trial lawyers who are always ready to go to court to fight for the recovery you need and deserve. You will pay us nothing unless we obtain a monetary settlement for you.
