Long-Term Prognosis for Brain Injuries

Brain injuries are largely unpredictable, as they can affect people in different ways and vary in severity. As a result, there are rarely simple answers when it comes to determining the long-term prognosis of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is especially true in the time soon after the injury takes place, as it can take months — even years — to determine the long-term prognosis for a brain injury.

At Doehrman Chamberlain in Indianapolis, our brain injury attorneys are nationally renowned for their skilled representation of traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims. Our founding partners have lectured extensively throughout the country on the complexities of traumatic brain injury claims, and our firm has worked closely with the Brain Injury Association of Indiana and the Brain Injury Association of America for more than 30 years.

Important Factors for Long-Term Prognosis

Despite the difficulty in determining their long-term prognosis, for brain injuries there are two important factors that specialists often look to in order to determine the outlook for a brain injury:

  • The location and size of the trauma
  • The length and severity of the loss of consciousness, if applicable

In general, the more severe the brain injury is, the longer the recovery period will be. At Doehrman Chamberlain, we work diligently to obtain the full compensation our clients need to cover past, present and future medical bills and rehabilitation costs. To do this, we consult with medical experts and neurologists to assets the long-term effects a brain injury will have on your life going forward, such as medical bills, home equipment and renovations as well as ongoing treatment. Additionally, we take on the insurance companies, so you can focus on what is important . . . you and your family's recovery.
