Our brain injury attorneys can help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you deserve.
What Is Considered a "Serious" Brain Injury?
A "serious" brain injury is one that results in:
- A loss of consciousness of 30 minutes or more
- A coma of 24 hours or more
- A measurable impact to the head resulting in a score of 15 or more on the Glasgow Coma Scale
- Any intracranial hemorrhage or hematoma
- Significant post-traumatic amnesia
If you can prove your injuries fall into this category, you may be eligible for additional compensation.
How Do I Prove My Brain Injury Was Caused by Another's Negligence?
Proving that a brain injury was caused by another's negligence in Washington State involves establishing key elements to support your personal injury claim. Here are essential steps to consider:
1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Your first priority should be seeking immediate medical attention. A prompt and thorough medical evaluation not only ensures your well-being but also creates a documented link between the accident and your brain injury. Medical records will serve as crucial evidence in your case.
2. Document the Accident Scene
If possible, document the scene of the accident. Take photographs or videos that capture the conditions, surroundings, and any contributing factors. This can include defective equipment, hazardous conditions, or the actions of the negligent party.
3. Gather Witness Statements
Collect statements from any witnesses to the accident. Witness testimonies can provide additional perspectives and support your version of events. Ensure you have their contact information for future reference.
4. Preserve Evidence
Preserve any evidence related to the accident. This could include damaged property, defective products, or any objects involved in the incident. Do not alter or dispose of evidence, as it may be critical in establishing negligence.
