Social Security/Medicaid/Medical Bills

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can have dramatic effects on victims and families. Brain injuries often require extensive rehabilitation, costly medical treatment and long-term care. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, it's important to seek the advice of an experienced personal injury lawyer.

At Doehrman Chamberlain in Indianapolis, we have extensive experience representing the victims of brain injuries in personal injury suits, seeking full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation expenses and other damages.

Proud sponsors of the Brain Injury Association of Indiana, our partners are nationally renowned for brain injury representation. Call us today at 800-269-3443 for a free consultation with an attorney.

There are multiple sources of compensation for medical expenses and other damages in brain injury cases depending on how the accident occurred, including auto insurance, homeowners insurance and private medical insurance. Additionally, the following are also sources:

  • Social Security — Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which provides benefits if your brain injury leaves you disabled and unable to work
  • Medicare — Consists of two parts: hospital insurance (Part A) and medical insurance (Part B), available if you are 65 or older
  • Medicaid — A state-federal health care program for low income children and families, senior citizens and people with severe disabilities

Our lawyers have experience dealing with Medicare and Medicaid subrogation issues. These government health care plans specify that the federal government has the right to seek subrogation for the money paid out for legitimate claims involving liable third parties.

TBI Waivers

A Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver provides funding for home services or community-based services for people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Services can be provided in a person's home, their family's home, a relative's home, a foster home, board or lodging facility, or an assisted living center. If a TBI victim is married, they can receive TBI Waiver services while living at home with their spouse.

There is a screening process to determine who qualifies for a TBI Waiver. We have extensive experience with this issue and can help you determine whether you qualify and what needs to be done to make your TBI Waiver a reality.
