Cincinnati Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney

Traumatic Brain Injury Representation

At Crandall & Pera Law, we represent people who have suffered traumatic TBIs under various circumstances. Our practice area spans various accident and injury types, each presenting unique challenges requiring specific legal and medical understanding.

Below are the types of accidents and injuries our firm is well-equipped to handle, ensuring our clients receive the comprehensive support they need.

Types of Accidents Leading to TBIs

• Vehicle Collisions: These are among the most common causes of TBIs. Our firm handles cases involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Whether the accident occurred on Cincinnati's busy streets or the highways surrounding the city, we are prepared to investigate and pursue your claim.
• Falls from Heights: Falls, whether from ladders, roofs, or scaffolding, can result in serious TBIs. These incidents frequently occur at construction sites, workplaces, or even within homes. Our attorneys understand the complexities of these cases, including investigating safety measures and liability.
• Sports Injuries: Athletic activities, especially contact sports like football or soccer, can lead to TBIs. Our firm advocates for athletes, ranging from amateur participants to professionals, ensuring the addressing of negligence or inadequate safety protocols.
• Work-related Accidents: Beyond falls, work environments can pose various risks for TBIs, including machinery accidents, vehicle-related incidents, or being struck by objects. We advocate for workers' rights, pursuing claims against employers, manufacturers, or third parties responsible for unsafe conditions.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

• Concussions: Often considered mild TBIs, concussions can have significant short-term and long-term effects. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent, making legal and medical evaluation necessary.
• Contusions are bruises or bleeding on the brain, typically resulting from a direct impact. Contusions may require surgical intervention, especially if they increase intracranial pressure.
• Diffuse Axonal Injuries: Caused by severe shaking or strong rotational forces, these injuries affect brain cells on a microscopic level, disrupting the brain's normal functioning. They can result in persistent coma or significant cognitive and functional impairments.
• Penetration Injuries: These occur when an object breaks through the skull and enters the brain. Such injuries are extremely severe and often require immediate and complex surgical treatment to remove foreign objects and repair damage.

Fighting the Insurance Company After a Cincinnati TBI Accident

Dealing with insurance companies following a TBI can be a challenging and overwhelming experience for people and their families. The process is filled with complex negotiations and legal jargon, as insurance providers often use strategies to minimize their payouts.

At Crandall & Pera Law, we are well-acquainted with these tactics and stand ready to counteract them, ensuring our clients receive the full compensation they deserve.

Here's a closer look at the ways insurance companies may try to deny or devalue claims and how our Cincinnati TBI lawyers overcome these challenges:

Disputing the Severity of the Injury

Insurance companies might argue that the TBI is less severe than claimed, suggesting it is a minor injury with limited long-term effects. They may rely on quick evaluations or reviews by their medical professionals to challenge the severity and impact of your injury.

Questioning the Cause of the Injury

Another common strategy is to dispute the cause of the injury. Insurers may claim that the TBI was pre-existing or resulted from an unrelated incident, attempting to absolve their policyholder from liability.

Delaying the Claims Process

Insurance providers may intentionally delay claims processing, hoping the claimant will become impatient and settle for a lower amount. This tactic exploits the financial and emotional stress that victims and their families often face post-injury.

Offering Quick, Low Settlements

Shortly after an accident, insurers might offer a quick settlement far below the claim's actual value. This preys on victims' immediate need for financial support, aiming to close the case before the full extent of the injury and its long-term costs are fully realized.

Misinterpreting Policy Language

Insurance companies might attempt to deny claims by misinterpreting their policies' language or coverage limits. This may entail asserting that the policy does not cover specific treatments or aspects of the injury.

Requiring Extensive Documentation

While some documentation is necessary, insurers may demand excessive proof of injury and related expenses. This overburdening request can be a tactic to find inconsistencies or reasons to reduce the claim's value.

How We Fight Back

At Crandall & Pera Law, we have over 40 years of combined experience handling these strategies. Our approach includes:

• Gathering Comprehensive Evidence: We compile extensive medical records, professional testimonies, and other evidence to unequivocally establish the severity and cause of the TBI.
• Professional Medical Consultations: Our team works with medical professionals to provide detailed assessments of the injury's impact, ensuring that the compensation reflects current and future needs.
• Strategic Negotiations: With a deep understanding of insurance law and tactics, our attorneys are skilled negotiators who can counteract attempts to undermine the claim.
• Legal Advocacy: We are prepared to take the case to court if necessary, demonstrating our commitment to securing the best possible outcome for our clients.
• Policy Analysis: Our thorough review of the insurance policy and the law ensures that we can challenge any misinterpretations or misapplications of coverage.

You don't have to face the insurance companies alone. With Crandall & Pera Law by your side, you have an advocate ready to protect your rights and secure the compensation you need to support your recovery and future well-being.
