When someone suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI) it can fully change their life. Not just their life, but also the lives of the family members as well. The path to recovery can be long and challenging, with a massive financial burden on top of the physical toll.

Understanding the Financial Challenges of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Most families aren’t prepared for the financial toll that comes with brain injuries. It’s not just the medical bills, managing future finances can feel uncertain too. Here are some of the common financial challenges that families face:
- Medical Bills: Hospital stay, surgeries, and emergency treatments are only the beginning. Brain injuries often require ongoing care, including physical therapy, speech therapy, and evaluations. This can go on for years depending on the severity of the injury. These sessions add up fast, and insurance may not cover everything.
- Lost Income and Care Needs: A brain injury can make it difficult—or impossible—for your loved one to return to work. Additionally, family members who become caregivers may need to reduce their own work hours, which also impacts income.In some cases, families may need in-home help or special equipment, both of which bring extra costs.
- Quality of Life Costs: Brain injuries affect more than physical health. They change how people think, feel, and interact. For families, this often means making home changes, paying for mental health support, and hiring ongoing care. These costs don’t go away, and families often feel their impact every day.
At Strickland & Kendall, we know these expenses aren’t just numbers. Each challenge represents a real impact on your family’s day-to-day life, and securing fair compensation is crucial for your future.
How a Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help
Understanding the costs of a brain injury is one thing. Dealing with insurance claims, medical bills, and legal requirements is another. Here’s how an experienced brain injury lawyer can make a difference:
- Handling Insurance: Dealing with insurance companies can be incredibly frustrating. They may delay decisions or offer lower payouts. Our team has the experience to take on this burden, negotiating with insurers to get you the support you need.
- Securing Fair Compensation: A traumatic brain injury isn’t a one-time event. They can often have lifelong costs, and our team looks at both immediate and long-term needs. We work with medical experts and care planners to build a case that reflects the true impact on your family’s future.
- Building a Strong Case: With brain injury cases, details are critical. Proving the impact of a brain injury requires detailed medical evidence and expert opinions. Strickland & Kendall bring the resources and experience necessary to construct a strong, persuasive case that highlights your loved one’s unique needs. We’re not only advocating for fair compensation but for justice and acknowledgment serious changes you and your family are facing.
Types of Compensation Available for Brain Injury Victims
There are different types of compensation available for brain injuries and navigating those differences can be challenging. Here’s a breakdown of what we may pursue on your behalf:
- Economic Damages: These cover the clear, measurable costs associated with a brain injury. Things like medical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages, and ongoing care. If your loved one can’t return to work, these damages include lost future income to help with financial stability.
- Non-Economic Damages: A brain injury affects more than finances. Non-economic damages cover things like pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and reduced quality of life. While money can’t fully replace what’s been lost, these damages can help bring some relief.
- Punitive Damages: In cases where a brain injury results from someone else’s reckless actions, punitive damages may apply. These damages go beyond compensation, serving as a financial deterrent for others in the future. We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and pursue them with the care they deserve.
Our team at Strickland & Kendall is committed to helping families get the full compensation that they deserve. We believe in fighting for a full, fair recovery that covers both the measurable and immeasurable costs of a brain injury, so your family isn’t left to fix these issues alone.
