Have You Suffered a TBI?

If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI in Boston, you may be facing a challenging and uncertain road to recovery.

A man is being treated by his doctor for a traumatic brain injury in Boston.

A traumatic brain injury can affect far more than your immediate medical needs. Whether you suffered a concussion, closed-head injury, or more severe brain trauma, the effects can interfere with your ability to work, think clearly, care for yourself, and enjoy life. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, a Boston traumatic brain injury lawyer from Jim Glaser Law can help you pursue compensation for the full impact it has had on you and your family.

Our team investigates what happened, gathers the medical and financial evidence needed to support your claim, and handles insurance company communications while you focus on recovery. Compensation may include current and future medical care, rehabilitation, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Many Massachusetts personal injury claims have a 3-year filing deadline, though exceptions can apply, so it’s important to get legal guidance as soon as possible after receiving medical care.

Jimmy has helped me out with auto accidents for my brother in law, he has helped me out with my property insurance claim and even helped out with immigration.

I submitted a negative review a week or so ago. The next day I received a phone call from Jimmy himself. He was very professional and very concerned with the problems I was experiencing. He asked me to give him a couple hours and he would dig into the problem and get right back to me. Jimmy is truly a man of his word,he called me back as promised explained the situation and has talked to me several times since to insure that I was being taken care of. Jimmy is a good person and definitely cares about his clients. David Cooper

I was introduced to Jim through my nephew two years ago. We met socially and I liked him immediately. Six months later, i was injured at work, tearing my rotator cuff and separating my bicep from the bone. I contacted my employers insurance company,xxxxxxxxx, and I made a claim for long term disability, a premium that I had paid for a period of 16 years. I heard nothing from xxxxxxxxxx and mentioned it go my nephew. He told me to call Atty Glazer and ask him about it. I had surgery on both injuries and Jim followed up with me on my situation. He then told me that there is a firm that he partnered with that was extremely good at this particular set of circumstances: not paying on a claim. Jim said that he would get them in contact with me and that they, having a great amount of experience, would pursue my claim with his shepherding me through the long and involved process. He followed up after every meeting and IAB hearing with them to make sure all was on track and that i was comfortable with the process. I appreciate follow up on any situation and his is excellent! The settlement that his partnership obtained was well above my expectations by a factor of four. I recommend that anyone in a legal situation first speak to Jim and get him to oversee their situation which he will do with the upmost professionalism and concern. On a scale of 1-5, he is a 6!,

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that affects how the brain works after a bump, blow, jolt, or other external force harms the head or body. TBIs can range from concussions to severe brain trauma and may affect a person’s physical health, memory, concentration, emotions, behavior, and ability to work or manage daily life.

A “mild” traumatic brain injury, often called a concussion, shouldn’t be dismissed simply because it isn’t immediately life-threatening. The term describes the initial clinical classification; some people still experience symptoms that disrupt work, relationships, and everyday activities. In some cases, symptoms aren’t apparent until hours or days after an accident.

Common Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries can take several forms, including:

  • Concussions or mild TBIs
  • Closed-head injuries
  • Penetrating or open-head injuries
  • Diffuse axonal injuries, which can result from rapid movement or rotation of the head
  • Brain contusions, or bruising of brain tissue
  • Secondary injuries involving complications such as swelling or bleeding

Symptoms That May Follow a Brain Injury

TBI symptoms vary from person to person and can affect how someone feels, thinks, acts, or sleeps. Common symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness, nausea, or balance problems
  • Memory trouble or confusion
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Speech or concentration changes
  • Mood, personality, or behavior changes
  • Loss of consciousness or seizures

Anyone who develops concerning or worsening symptoms after a head injury should seek prompt medical evaluation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identifies emergency warning signs that require immediate care, including a worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, weakness or numbness, slurred speech, unusual behavior, or difficulty waking the person.

What Should You Do After a Possible TBI Accident?

After any accident involving a blow or jolt to the head or body, taking the right steps can protect both your health and your ability to pursue a claim later. Consider the following:

  1. Seek medical attention and follow medical instructions. A healthcare provider can evaluate your condition, identify possible symptoms, and recommend appropriate care.
  2. Document your symptoms and daily-life changes. Keep track of headaches, memory issues, sleep changes, missed work, medical appointments, and any ways the injury affects your usual activities.
  3. Preserve accident-related evidence. Save photos, videos, accident or incident reports, medical bills, contact information for witnesses, and communications with an insurance company.
  4. Be careful with insurance communications. You may need to report the accident, but you aren’t required to accept an early settlement offer before you understand the extent of your injuries and losses.
  5. Speak with a Boston brain injury lawyer about your next steps. An attorney can review the circumstances of the accident, explain your options, and help protect evidence before it’s lost.

Documentation can be especially important in a traumatic brain injury claim. Insurers may argue that symptoms are unrelated to the accident, caused by a pre-existing condition, or not serious enough to warrant compensation. Medical records, symptom notes, work documentation, and evidence of how the injury has affected your daily life can help show the full impact of the injury.

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries in Massachusetts

Traumatic brain injuries can happen in many types of accidents. Whether someone may be legally responsible depends on how the injury occurred, who had a duty to act safely, and whether their actions or inaction contributed to the harm.

Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Accidents

The force of a collision can cause the brain to move suddenly within the skull, even when there’s no visible head wound. TBIs may result from a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, or pedestrian collision. A driver who was speeding, distracted, impaired, or otherwise careless may be liable for resulting injuries.

Slip-and-Fall and Unsafe Property Accidents

Falls are another common cause of traumatic brain injuries. Unsafe stairs, poor lighting, wet floors, broken handrails, uneven walkways, or falling objects can create serious risks on someone else’s property. A property owner or business may be responsible when they knew, or reasonably should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to address it or warn visitors.

Workplace and Construction Accidents

Construction workers, warehouse employees, delivery drivers, and others may suffer a TBI in falls, equipment accidents, vehicle crashes, or struck-by incidents. A workplace injury claim may involve workers’ compensation benefits. In some situations, an injured worker may also have a separate claim against a negligent third party, such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer. Our Boston workers’ compensation lawyers can help evaluate the available options.

Medical Negligence and Other Serious Accidents

Brain injuries may also result from preventable medical errors, defective products, assaults, or other serious incidents. When negligent medical care may have caused or worsened a brain injury, a Boston medical malpractice lawyer can review the circumstances and help determine whether a claim may be available.

Can You Recover Compensation for a Concussion or TBI?

Potentially, yes. If another party’s negligence caused your concussion or traumatic brain injury and resulting losses, you may be able to pursue compensation through an insurance claim or lawsuit. Even a concussion can lead to meaningful losses when symptoms interfere with work, school, daily responsibilities, or require ongoing treatment.

A diagnosis alone doesn’t automatically create a viable claim. The available legal options depend on how the injury occurred, the evidence of fault, the medical impact of the injury, and the losses you have experienced.

Compensation in a Boston Brain Injury Claim May Include

Depending on the circumstances, a TBI claim may seek compensation for:

  • Emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, and diagnostic testing
  • Follow-up medical care and medication
  • Neurology appointments, therapy, rehabilitation, and assistive care
  • Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
  • Home or vehicle modifications when medically necessary
  • Pain and suffering, including loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium, where applicable
  • Wrongful-death damages, where applicable

The value of a brain injury claim depends on its specific facts, including the available medical evidence, insurance coverage, the severity and expected duration of the injury, and its effect on your life and ability to earn a living.

How a Boston Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help

A traumatic brain injury claim should account for more than the first medical visit. At Jim Glaser Law, we work to understand how the injury happened, how it has affected your life, and what support you may need in the future.

Investigate How the Injury Happened

Our team can review the facts surrounding your accident and identify evidence that may support your claim. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Police, incident, and workplace reports
  • Photos, video footage, and physical evidence
  • Witness statements and contact information
  • Potentially responsible parties and available insurance coverage

Document the Full Effect of the Injury

Brain injuries can affect a person in ways that aren’t always visible. We gather relevant records from emergency providers, neurologists, therapists, rehabilitation professionals, and other providers to help document the injury’s full effect.

This may include evidence of changes in memory, concentration, communication, mood, daily functioning, and ability to work. We also examine missed income, reduced earning capacity, anticipated medical care, rehabilitation needs, and other future losses connected to the injury.

Challenge Insurance Company Arguments

Insurance companies may try to minimize a traumatic brain injury claim by arguing that the injury was “only” a concussion, symptoms are unrelated to the accident, or a pre-existing condition is to blame. They may also claim that you recovered quickly or were partly responsible for the accident.

Our team can use medical records, accident evidence, and other documentation to respond to these arguments and present a clear picture of how the injury has affected your life.

Pursue a Settlement or Take the Case to Court

Jim Glaser Law prepares every claim with the evidence and attention it may need to be resolved through settlement negotiations or in court. While no attorney can guarantee a particular result, we work to pursue a resolution that reflects the full impact of your injury and protects your interests.

Do You Need a Lawyer for a TBI Claim?

Not every brain injury claim requires an attorney. However, legal help can be especially important when the injury is serious, symptoms continue, fault is disputed, or insurance coverage is limited. A lawyer can review the circumstances of the accident, explain your options, and help you make an informed decision about how to move forward.

You May Benefit From Legal Help If:

  • You have ongoing symptoms or need continuing treatment
  • You missed work or can’t return to the same job
  • The insurance company disputes fault or downplays the injury
  • Multiple parties may be responsible for the accident
  • A loved one suffered a fatal brain injury
  • You are considering a settlement offer before you understand the injury’s long-term effects

How Long Do You Have To File a Brain Injury Lawsuit in Massachusetts?

Many Massachusetts personal injury claims must be filed within 3 years after the cause of action accrues. That means there is often a limited window to take legal action after a traumatic brain injury, and waiting too long may prevent you from recovering compensation.

The deadline can vary depending on the facts of the case and the parties involved. For example, claims involving a minor, a public entity, medical negligence, or an injury that wasn’t immediately discovered may require a different analysis. Public-entity claims can also involve an earlier written-notice requirement.

Speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible can help you identify the correct deadline, preserve important evidence, and avoid losing the right to bring a claim. This is general information, not legal advice; an attorney should review the facts of your specific situation.

Why TBI Claims Can Be More Complex Than Other Injury Cases

Traumatic brain injury claims can be more complicated than other personal injury cases because the full effects of a TBI aren’t always immediately clear. Symptoms may be delayed, fluctuate over time, or affect a person differently as they return to work and daily life.

Imaging and other medical testing can be important, but they may not capture every cognitive, emotional, or functional effect of a brain injury. A person may struggle with memory, concentration, communication, fatigue, mood changes, or tasks they once handled easily, even when those challenges aren’t outwardly visible.

A TBI can also affect someone’s employment, relationships, independence, and ability to participate in everyday activities. Because future treatment, rehabilitation, and lost earning capacity can be difficult to calculate early, it’s important to consider both the losses already experienced and the reasonably expected effects of the injury moving forward.

Defendants and insurers may try to minimize an injury that isn’t visibly apparent. A thorough claim should account for the medical evidence, the person’s day-to-day limitations, and the full impact the injury has had, and may continue to have, on their life.

FAQs: Boston Traumatic Brain Injury Claims

Potentially. A concussion may support an injury claim when another party’s negligence caused the injury, and you experienced related losses, such as medical expenses, missed work, or ongoing symptoms. The fact that a concussion is considered a mild TBI doesn’t necessarily mean its effects are minor. The available claim depends on the evidence of fault and the actual impact of the injury.

Symptoms from a concussion or other TBI may not be obvious immediately after an accident. If you develop headaches, dizziness, memory issues, concentration problems, sleep changes, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical evaluation promptly. Medical records and documentation showing when symptoms began and how they affected your life can be important in a later claim.

There is no standard value for a TBI claim. Its value depends on factors such as the severity of the injury, required medical care, expected recovery, lost income, reduced earning capacity, available insurance coverage, and the strength of the evidence showing fault. A lawyer can evaluate the specific circumstances, but no attorney can promise a particular outcome.

A prior injury doesn’t automatically prevent you from bringing a claim. However, insurers may argue that your current symptoms are related to a pre-existing condition rather than the accident. Medical records, provider opinions, and evidence showing how your condition changed after the incident may be important to determining what compensation may be available.

Possibly. Under Massachusetts comparative-negligence law, you may still recover compensation if you weren’t more at fault than the other responsible party or parties. Your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault. Because fault can be disputed, it’s important to have the facts reviewed carefully.

The timeline varies. A claim may be resolved relatively quickly when fault and damages are clear, but cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or ongoing medical treatment can take longer. It’s often important to understand the injury’s expected effect before accepting a settlement, especially when future care or work limitations may be involved.

Not necessarily. Many injury claims are resolved through settlement negotiations, but some cases require filing a lawsuit or proceeding to trial to pursue a fair result. Whether a case goes to court depends on the facts, the insurance company’s position, and whether the parties can reach an appropriate agreement.
