What is the average TBI settlement from a car accident?

TBI settlements vary dramatically. Mild concussions may settle for $50,000 to $150,000, while moderate TBI ranges from $200,000 to $1 million. Severe TBI with permanent impairment often exceeds $1 million and can reach into the tens of millions.

How do you prove a traumatic brain injury in a car accident case?

TBI is proven through medical records, neuroimaging (CT, MRI), neuropsychological testing, and expert testimony. Documenting pre and post-accident cognitive function through school records, work evaluations, and witness testimony strengthens your case.

Head/Brain Injury Other Accident Motor Vehicle Negligence

One driver was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident and became permanently disabled due to a traumatic brain injury. The injured driver had a disability contract with an insurance company that provided for subrogation rights upon settlement with the party responsible for the accident. After settling with the responsible party, the injured driver negotiated a settlement with the insurance company regarding their subrogation rights. However, the insurance company later demanded a second subrogation payment, which the injured driver refused. The insurance company then stopped paying monthly disability benefits, causing the injured driver severe mental and emotional distress and financial hardship.
