Brain Injury Attorneys
Why is hiring an attorney after suffering a brain injury important?
In North Carolina, you’re not required to hire a personal injury lawyer and you can represent yourself, but that can mean taking a major gamble on the potential compensation you may be entitled to.
In fact, a recent study showed that those who hire a personal injury lawyer recover, on average, three times more compensation than those who represent themselves. That’s a significant different.
TBIs are complicated. They can be difficult to diagnose, and the consequences can be life-changing. When you’ve suffered a brain injury, you may experience not just physical pain, but also emotional trauma and financial hardship. Your loved ones may suffer, as well.
A brain injury lawyer can help you seek damages for your injuries.

- Medical Expenses — In most cases, a personal injury settlement or verdict will include compensation for medical expenses related to your brain injury, including hospitalization, doctor’s appointments, medications, surgeries, home medical care, medical equipment, etc.
- Lost Wages and Loss of Future Earnings — You may also be able to recover compensation to make up for lost wages while you’re out of work, or even the loss of future earning potential if your injury prevents you from returning to your previous employment.
- Pain and Suffering — You may also be compensated for pain and suffering as a result of your brain injury. This includes potential emotional injury, loss of companionship (consortium) with loved ones, permanent scarring, etc.
