Our Approach to Traumatic Brain Injury Cases in Manassas
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases are very important, and a specific subset of personal injury cases. At Price Benowitz, our personal injury lawyers takes traumatic brain injury cases very seriously. In traumatic brain injury cases, there is special concern about whether or not the continuum of care is preserved, what type of treatment is sought at the beginning once the TBI case is identified, including appropriate neurological care, and whether or not that care is followed up on a regular basis to preserve the TBI client’s interests as best as possible.
The Manassas traumatic brain injury lawyers at our firm are passionate about helping people who have suffered a TBI receive fair compensation for their injuries.
Importance of Manassas Traumatic Brain Injury Cases
Traumatic brain injury cases are important because the brain is the most important part of the body. When someone suffers a brain injury, it affects not only their physical health but also their mental well-being. It also affects their families. The person may not appear like they are suffering any injuries on the outside if they don’t have any bruises, broken bones or slings.
A traumatic brain injury can be far worse than any broken bone, and it lasts longer than a torn ligament or a tendon injury. Therefore, it is important to have compassion in TBI cases and help clients to receive the best amount of care and compensation possible, so that they can return to their quality of life as best as possible.
Cost of Retaining a Manassas Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney
Typically the attorney-client relationship for a TBI case, as for other personal injury cases, is on a contingency fee basis. Contingency fee basis means that the client does not put any money down upfront. The client does not owe the firm any money until a contingent event occurs. In this case, a contingent event would be a favorable settlement and a resolution to the case to which the client agrees. When the contingent event occurs, the client pays the portion of the fee to the law firm for services rendered.
The Manassas traumatic brain injury lawyers at our firm never charge upfront for a consultation for personal injury cases. If a firm wants to charge a consultation fee for a personal injury case, you should be wary of such practice as it is not common in this field of law.
Working With a Private Law Firm v. Solo Practitioners
There are many benefits to working with a law firm versus a solo practitioner in terms of personal injury cases and traumatic brain injury cases. Law firms typically have larger resources available to help pay attention to your case. This includes more clerks dedicated to processing medical bills and records, more attorneys with ideas to answer questions that the client may have as well as extended resources, such as medical doctors that consult with the firm on regular basis, and are willing to review records and assist in expert witness determinations.
Behind the scenes, which clients are typically not privy to on a daily basis, attorneys are constantly working to try to better their case. Attorneys are constantly talking to expert witnesses, reviewing medical documents, including medical records, medical bills and doctor’s opinions, and reading up on current scientific information about their client’s treatments and prognosis for recovery.
