Brain Injuries Are Costly But You Can Recover Your Losses

Brain injuries often require extensive and ongoing care, making the potential damages in a legal claim both medically complex and financially significant. Whether caused by a car accident, fall, or other traumatic event, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can affect virtually every area of life. The following are key categories of damages that may be recovered in a brain injury case:

• Medical Expenses: Includes emergency care, neurological exams, CT scans, MRIs, intracranial pressure monitoring, hospitalization, surgeries (such as craniotomies), and specialist consultations
• Rehabilitation Costs: Covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, speech-language therapy, and neuropsychological services
• Future Medical Care: Long-term needs, such as anti-seizure medications, mental health services, assistive technology, or skilled nursing care for severe cognitive or physical impairments
• Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to hospitalization, treatment, and recovery
• Loss of Earning Capacity: For lasting impairments in memory, executive function, or motor skills that limit future employment options
• Pain and Suffering: Physical headaches, neuralgia, and emotional effects such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: For inability to engage in activities once enjoyed due to cognitive decline, sensory changes, or social withdrawal
• Home Modifications and Support Services: Installation of wheelchair ramps, safety rails, or hiring in-home care aides

Because TBIs can have delayed or progressive symptoms, damage assessments often rely on both medical diagnostics and expert testimony.

How Our Brain Injury Lawyers in Cambridge Help With Your Case

Brain injury claims require a law firm that understands both the legal and medical complexities involved. Our experienced attorneys know how to build a strong case that fully reflects the physical, cognitive, and emotional toll of a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

We help by:

• Working with Medical Experts: We collaborate with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and radiologists to interpret CT scans, MRIs, and cognitive evaluations.
• Documenting the Full Impact: From memory loss and mood swings to speech issues and mobility challenges, we gather detailed evidence of how the injury affects your daily life.
• Calculating Long-Term Damages: We assess current and future costs, including:

• Ongoing medical care and rehabilitation
• Loss of earning capacity due to cognitive decline
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

• Handling Insurance and Legal Matters: We deal with insurers, defense attorneys, and paperwork so you can focus on healing.
• Fighting for Maximum Compensation: Whether through settlement or trial, we pursue the financial recovery you deserve. We perform mock trials to test our argument and ensure you are ready for what court brings.

Brain injuries often come with invisible but life-altering consequences. Our legal team ensures that your story is heard, and that justice reflects the true scope of your injury.

No Upfront Fees—You Pay Nothing Unless We Win

We believe everyone deserves access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we handle brain injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You owe us nothing unless we secure compensation for you. Our payment is a portion of your settlement or award.

Can I Recover Compensation If I Contributed to the Accident?

Yes. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation for a brain injury even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Here’s an example to explain how the law could apply in your case.

Imagine you suffer a traumatic brain injury in a motorcycle accident caused by a reckless driver, but you weren’t wearing a helmet, even though required by Massachusetts law. A jury might find you 30% at fault for failing to protect yourself. If your final damage award is $500,000, your recovery would be reduced by 30%, resulting in $350,000 in compensation.

Even if you think you share blame, don’t assume you have no case. Our attorneys can evaluate how fault may be apportioned and fight to minimize its impact on your recovery.

You Have a Limited Time to Take Action After a Brain Injury

If you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury in Massachusetts due to someone’s negligence, you generally have three years from the date of the injury—or, in some cases, from the date you reasonably discovered the injury—to file a lawsuit under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260, § 2A.

In some cases, you could have more or less time to act. Your lawyer can explain how long you have to file a lawsuit.

Why You Should Act Quickly

Delaying can cost you the legal right to pursue compensation—no matter how clear the evidence or severe the injury. Because traumatic brain injuries can involve subtle or delayed symptoms, the discovery rule may buy you extra time—but only if you file within three years of identification.

Consulting with an experienced Massachusetts personal injury attorney as soon as possible ensures accurate calculation of your deadline—and protects your claim from procedural dismissal.
