What Accidents Can Cause Brain Injuries?
There are several different accidents that can cause serious brain injuries, all of which can stem from someone else’s negligence. Some of the most common of these accidents include the following:
- Falls, including slip and fall accidents
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Sports injuries
- Truck accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Explosion accidents
If you want to take legal action against another party after any of these accidents, you need to prove that negligence put you in harm’s way. You can do this by investigating the circumstances that led to your accident, including deliberate driver misconduct, landowners’ failures to maintain their properties, or mechanical failures.
Our brain injury lawyers in Cleveland can manage an investigation on your behalf, whether you plan on bringing a personal injury claim to civil court or filing for support through an insurance provider.

When Should You Contact a Cleveland Brain Injury Lawyer?
The weeks and months following a brain injury can leave your family out of sorts. Unfortunately, there are several parties that may want to take advantage of your stress and confusion. These parties can include insurance claims adjusters and even the parties responsible for your accident.
Insurance companies may attempt to remove evidence that is key to your recovery from an accident scene. An at-fault party may try to invoke Ohio’s comparative negligence laws to blame you for a percentage of your accident. All the while, you have to worry about Ohio’s personal injury statute of limitations and building a claim before your two–year filing deadline expires.
It’s with recovery interference and fast-coming deadlines in mind that we recommend you contact a Cleveland brain injury lawyer sooner rather than later. Your first case consultation comes free of charge and does not obligate you to continue pursuing a claim.

Can Cleveland Brain Injury Lawyers Help You File Insurance Claims?
Our team can help you file an insurance claim immediately following a brain injury. Our involvement in your pursuit of an insurance settlement can minimize an insurance company’s bad-faith tactics, making it easier for you to:
- Communicate the true value of your losses
- Prevent insurance claims adjusters from requesting inappropriate personal information
- Deny an insurance company’s recorded or written statements about your losses
- Get the settlement you need to pay your bills
However, insurance claims only allow you to recover damages based on your economic losses. Fortunately, our team can help you explore alternative funding options, including the pursuit of a personal injury claim.

Can an Experienced Attorney File a Personal Injury Claim on Your Behalf?
Unfortunately, some brain injuries can have a long-term impact on a person’s ability to represent their best interests. In these cases, an injured party has the right to forfeit responsibility for the legal aspects of their recovery to a personal representative. That representative may then work with an experienced brain injury attorney in Cleveland to draft a personal injury claim.
If you have the right to represent an injured loved one and would like to do so, you can schedule a free case evaluation with our office. We can discuss the logistics of pursuing legal action on someone else’s behalf and how we can help you build your case.

How Can You Hold the Right Liable Party Responsible for Your Brain Injury Losses?
No Cleveland, OH, brain injury lawyer will force you to go to trial if you want to fight for loss-based compensation. In fact, many of our cases are resolved in out-of-court settlement negotiations.
If a liable party recognizes that their negligence resulted in an accident, and you walked away with a serious brain injury, they owe you money. You can lay out an estimate of your losses during negotiations and discuss how a liable party plans to compensate you.
If you can’t come to an agreement during settlement negotiations, your attorney may prepare you to go to civil trial. We can represent you throughout the trial process and, in high-stress cases, keep your contact with a liable party minimal. We can also account for any physical or mental complications a brain injury may introduce into your life.
