Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are tragically common. Each year, an estimated 230,000 Americans are hospitalized for brain-related injuries, many of which are caused by avoidable accidents such as car and truck crashes. If you are a Tennessee personal injury attorney who doesn’t have a lot of experience with severe TBIs, you should consider referring your client to our brain injury legal team.
Why Your Client Needs a Brain Injury Lawyer
You may have years of experience in personal injury law and a record of winning substantial settlements for your clients, but if you have not handled many accidents involving severe brain injuries, you might not be prepared to get your client the compensation they deserve. Brain injuries can have repercussions for many years to come, so it is vital that the attorney representing a client with a severe TBI be well-versed in the challenges they will face in the future.
What to Look for in a Tennessee Brain Injury Lawyer
Brain injury claims are complicated and high-stakes affairs. Before you refer your case to another attorney, you will want to know that they have the skill and experience needed to help your client. When assessing a potential attorney, you should consider their:
- Experience. Every personal injury attorney thinks they know the best way to advocate their clients’ best interests. However, your client needs a lawyer who has prior experience negotiating brain injury claims.
- Compassion. When the attorney has a deep-seated appreciation for the struggles brain injury victims face, they will do everything in their power to fight for a fair and equitable settlement.
- Ability to win at trial. Depending on the circumstances of the brain injury accident, your client might be able to secure a settlement without taking the case to court. However, wrongdoers are not always willing to take responsibility for their negligence. Your client needs an attorney who has shown, time and time again, that they could convince an insurance company, a judge, or a jury that their client deserves compensation.
- Honesty. Some lawyers promise fast settlements and big results. While a big award could help ease your client’s pain and suffering, they need an attorney who will temper their expectations with honesty. Your client’s advocate should be someone who is willing to tell them what they need to hear—not what they want to hear.
