Our Delaware Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys Represent Clients Injured by Negligence
To receive compensation for the accident that led to your TBI, you must prove the at-fault party’s negligence caused your accident. That means proving the following four elements:
- Duty of care: The at-fault party’s legal obligation to act safely
- Breach of duty: Actions that violate their legal duty
- Causation: The link between action and accident
- Damages: Your financial consequences
Your Delaware TBI accident attorney will aim to prove these elements with a strong evidence collection, including:
- Medical records, bills, and prognosis
- Employment and salary history records
- Official reports, including accident reconstruction
- Photos and video footage of the accident scene
- Statements from lay and expert witnesses
We will not ask you or your family to recover evidence. Instead, we will compile and organize evidence and submit it to the at-fault party and their insurer on your behalf.

Economic and Non-Economic Damages We Recover for TBI Victims in Delaware
Being diagnosed with a severe brain injury could mean you are facing a lifetime of medical treatment and associated costs. You could also face significant additional expenses and losses. To maximize your financial recovery, your personal injury attorney can request the following types of damages:
- Medical bills: Hospitalization, medication, therapy, in-home support, assistive medical devices, etc.
- Lost wages: Loss of income from all earning sources and loss of the ability to earn in the future
- Property damage: Repair or replacement costs for damaged or destroyed property and diminished property value
- Pain and suffering: Physical discomfort and inconvenience for your injuries and recovery, including mental and emotional trauma
If your loved one succumbed to a TBI, we will request fair compensation for your family. The wrongful death damages you may recover include funeral and burial expenses. They also include compensation for loss of financial support, domestic contributions, and consortium and companionship.
You Could Have as Little as Two Years to File Your TBI Lawsuit in Ohio
The statute of limitations is a mandatory part of your TBI lawsuit that defines how much time you have to file in the appropriate court. Accordingly:
- The personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10
- The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02
This is the general rule, though there are exceptions. The filing deadline could fluctuate based on many different factors, making it hard to comply on your own. Let us handle it. Your Delaware brain damage attorney will file your lawsuit on time and avoid the potentially costly consequences of non-compliance.
