Head and brain injuries are some of the most serious injuries you can sustain. In many cases, even when all the symptoms have resolved themselves or have been treated, many victims are left with ongoing complications. 

Some common factors that can affect settlement amounts on a case by case basis may include:

• Severity of the injury: the more severe the injury, the higher a traumatic brain injury settlement is going to be. This can include long-term symptoms from milder injuries as well. 

• Projected medical expenses: the value of a head injury case is determined in a large part by the amount of medical bills (future and present) that a victim is expected to have through the duration of their treatment. This can include things like hospital stays, medications, and even the need to remodel your home to make it handicap accessible. 

• Loss of future income: if your injury kept you away from work or forced you to quit a job you can no longer work, settlement amounts may include the amount of income you lost. 

• Pain and suffering: brain injury cases, unlike some other kinds of injury cases, take into account non-economic damages as well. 

• Age: younger victims and children are more likely to require long-term medical support and therapy. Cases of child brain injury often mean higher settlements.

• Liability: If the victim is found to be at least partially responsible for the accident that caused the injury, the settlement amount may be impacted.
