Your Head and Brain Injury Lawsuit

The brain injury litigation process: what to expect

Brain injury litigation can be an overwhelming and anxiety-provoking process, especially if you are unfamiliar with the steps involved.  That is why the attorneys at Van Blois & Associates want to explain how we prepare and engage in a head injury lawsuit.

We begin with an initial consultation, where we discuss your case and determine whether pursuing it is in your best interest.  If we feel that you have a winnable head injury lawsuit, we proceed to the evidence-collection stage.  This is where we ask you to bring us supporting documentation of how your brain or head injury occurred, and how the injury negatively affected your life.

We retain physicians who specialize in brain injuries as consultants and experts.  We under take extensive investigation and retain experienced liability and medical experts to assist us in representing you.

Next we file a complaint with the court to start the litigation to accomplish a brain injury settlement.  The discovery process comes next in which information regarding the details of your case is obtained.  

After the discovery phase is completed, the defendants may offer a brain injury settlement in order to avoid a court battle.  If they do not, Van Blois & Associates will aggressively pursue the litigation and take your case to trial so that a jury can award full compensation to you for your injuries and damages.  

How you can help with your brain injury settlement

The brain injury attorneys at Van Blois & Associates will always do their utmost to obtain a satisfactory trial outcome for you.  However, there are things that you can do, as the plaintiff, to assist in the conducting of your case.  In order to get the most out of your head injury lawsuit, we need to show the jury just how badly the injury has affected your life.  We need you - or if you are not able, close friends or family members - to describe the abilities you had and the functions you performed prior to your injury.  We then need to contrast these descriptions with the way your life is now.  Personal stories from those who know you best are powerful tools in pinpointing exactly how much has changed since your injury, and explaining why you deserve a fair brain injury settlement.

Head injury lawsuit compensation

In addition to the sheer physical suffering caused by a head injury, there are also numerous costs that make it necessary to seek a brain injury settlement.  Hospitalizations and other medical bills, such as continued physical therapy or speech therapy, can continue for months or years after the injury has occurred.  In many cases, they become lifelong expenses.  If you add to that the cost of lost wages (because you are no longer able to work, or to perform the same job) and the decreased quality of life for both you and your family, it is easy to see why you deserve a reasonable settlement amount from your head injury lawsuit.
