Even with safety features such as seatbelts, airbags, child restraints, no-slip flooring, crumple zones and collision avoidance systems in vehicles, anti-lock brakes, fall-prevention equipment, and safety gear such as hardhats, you can still suffer a serious head injury or TBI in an accident. Depending on how severe your injuries are, you may require short-term or long-term medical care. In older adults, TBIs can be difficult to diagnose, and in younger children, it can lead to life-long disability.

Do not leave anything to chance and contact our skilled Metuchen Traumatic Brain Injury lawyers today for assistance with your case. We will investigate the cause of your accident and will gather the evidence needed to prove liability and your accident-related losses and damages so that you can seek a fair compensation payout from the at-fault party’s insurer for your losses.

Understanding the Duty of Care with Our Empathetic Metuchen Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers

One of the most complex aspects of any accident-related TBI case is proving the duty of care. Based on the situation or scenario in question, the duty of care can be defined as the actions that a safe, responsible, and skilled individual would have taken under the same circumstances to avoid inflicting harm on you or others. In a medical setting, this means doctors, nurses, and other caregivers should have the training, skills, and knowledge needed to provide you with care. Poor training, worker fatigue, or general mistakes that lead to a TBI or head injury can be grounds for an insurance claim in such a scenario.

The same rationale applies to motor vehicle accidents in which motor vehicle operators and road users owe others a duty of driving safely, responsibly, and following safe driving rules and norms, and workplace accidents where your employer, a maintenance or service team member, or business operator have a duty to ensure a safe workplace, safe machinery, and accident-proof environs for workers.

Gathering Evidence and Filing a Claim with Our TBI Attorneys in Metuchen

Before you can file a claim, you must identify the at-fault party and prove that they owed you a duty of care. You must also show how – and to what extent – the at-fault inflicted harm on you. Evidence that can be used to prove these – both the breach in the duty of care and the extent of your damages – includes:

  • Photos and video recordings of the accident (cellphone, dash cam, CCTV, and surveillance camera footage)
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Cell phone usage records
  • Blood concentration levels for driving and machinery-related TBI cases
  • Drug and medication usage
  • Work logs and driving logs to prove overwork, worker fatigue, or reckless behavior
  • Police reports on the accident
  • Vehicle and machine repair logs to prove malfunctions

Based on the evidence at hand, you may be able to file a claim against one or several at-fault parties, which can be:

  • Another driver or road user
  • A commercial trucking company
  • A device, vehicle, or parts manufacturer
  • A local municipality in charge of road repairs or traffic control devices
  • A healthcare institution
  • A medical care provider such as a doctor or nurse
  • A property owner or business operator
