West Virginia Attorneys Provide a Strong Defense Against Head Injury Claims

Representing businesses and other defendants in TBI cases

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a penetrating or concussive head wound that causes damage to the brain and disrupts its normal function. TBIs can occur in any accident where the head contacts a moving or stationary object, or a violent force, such as an explosion. The personal injury defense attorneys at Linkous Law, PLLC are familiar with the medical and legal issues involved in TBI cases and present a strong defense to promote the resolution of your case.

Demonstrating that you or your company is not responsible

In most cases, an injured person needs to prove that you or your business was negligent in order to hold you responsible for their injuries. This means you must have had some sort of duty to act with care toward the person making the claim. That person must prove that you breached this duty, and that their injuries were a foreseeable result of that breach. They must demonstrate that the breach actually led to their injuries. Additionally, they must present evidence of their damages, i.e., economic and noneconomic losses due to the injury. Head injury victims often try to recover damages for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Diminished earning potential
• Physical therapy
• Home care
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Our Morgantown attorneys dispute each element of the case against you. We work to prove that you did not cause the injury or that you cannot be held responsible, because you or your business did not have proper notice of the danger that caused the injury. With the help of medical experts, we seek to present alternative evidence of the extent of the plaintiff’s injury. We also consult financial experts to refute the claimant’s alleged economic losses, especially projections of lost income over time. A judgment in favor of a traumatic brain injury plaintiff could easily exceed your insurance coverage, threatening your business or personal finances. We make every effort to reach the smallest settlement possible to protect your assets.
