If you or someone you love has suffered a head or brain injury in the Charleston area, you may be entitled to financial compensation that can cover the costs associated with your injury. After a traumatic brain injury, also known as a TBI, you may be facing a significant recovery time in which medical bills are already threatening your financial well-being. You may have months or more of therapy ahead of you so that you can feel like your old self, but you could also be missing work and losing wages as a result. Typically, after a brain injury, there is also considerable emotional and mental suffering on top of the physical pain of your injury. If your injury was caused by another party’s negligence, you have the right to hold them financially accountable for all these harms.
The Charleston brain injury lawyers at Evans Moore, LLC are here to help you seek financial compensation so that an accident that was not your fault is not the cause of any future financial strain on you and your family. We will work tirelessly on your case to determine who is liable for your accident and hold them accountable, all while treating you with compassion and respect. To discuss your case in more detail with one of our experienced attorneys, call us today at (843) 995-5000 or contact us online for a free consultation.
Having a lawyer on your side is the best strategy if you want to maximize your chances of receiving the full amount of financial compensation you deserve. The laws concerning liability for accidents that result in brain injuries, as well as the laws involving medical malpractice that could exacerbate your injury or increase your recovery time, can become quite complicated for someone without legal experience. When multiple groups, such as hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies, become part of the equation, you’ll want someone with the experience and time to dedicate to your case.
Many brain injuries are the result of accidents, but lots of these accidents could have been prevented had the liable party been more responsible in working to prevent your injury from occurring in the first place. Having a lawyer on your side can also make the legal process proceed more swiftly. An experienced attorney will be able to get everything right the first time and anticipate and work around any delays with your case. A good lawyer will always be on top of their game; they’ll use their an abundance of resources to put together a strong case, increasing the likelihood that you will receive the full amount of compensation that you deserve.

A brain injury occurs whenever there is a traumatic force of any kind to the head, such as a bump or a jolt, that disrupts the brain’s normal function. Common causes of TBIs include the following:
These and other incidents that result in TBIs are often the fault of another party’s negligence. If someone owed you a duty of care to keep you safe, such as a driver, property manager, employer, or product manufacturer, and they failed in that duty in some way, then they have been legally negligent and you can hold them financially accountable for your resulting injuries.
If you prevail in your brain injury claim, you may be able to recover compensation for a variety of losses, including:
Furthermore, if your loved one tragically passed away as a result of a traumatic brain injury, you may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim on their behalf. Through this claim, you can recover compensation for costs such as medical expenses, funeral expenses, burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of emotional support, and more.
Concussions, which many people are familiar with, are the most common type of brain injury. While, thankfully, most are not severe, they can lead to more severe symptoms, some of which can be life-altering.
Common symptoms of brain injuries include the following:
While some of these symptoms can be seen as normal and might be easy to ignore, if they occur after trauma to your head in an accident, you should seek immediate medical attention to make sure your injury is not serious.
After suffering from a brain injury in an accident, try to remain calm and take the following steps:
Even if you are unable to complete every step listed, be sure to contact Evans Moore, LLC. We can guide you in the right direction given the status of your case.
