What Is the Average Settlement for a Traumatic Brain Injury?

There is no average settlement for a traumatic brain injury case. Though law firms sometimes publish their settlements, there is no comprehensive record of results that would allow for a verified “average” settlement figure. Each case is different, and the settlement you could receive will depend on the details of your case.

OUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Our track record reflects consistent, results-focused advocacy for injured individuals across Florida.

Your Florida traumatic brain injury lawyer will not need an average settlement figure to determine the proper value of your settlement. They will rely on the facts of your case and the monetary cost of your damages to calculate a fair settlement amount.

What does a Settlement for a Traumatic Brain Injury Cover?

Even though traumatic brain injuries can present similar symptoms in different victims, each injury can affect the patient’s life differently. Our team will review your case and identify all of your losses, which may include:

Pain and Suffering

Every injury causes some degree of pain and suffering. The pain and suffering can be severe in those with a brain injury, as trauma affecting your brain may:

  • Change your personality
  • Impair your cognitive function
  • Affect your memory
  • Cause depression and frequent bad moods
  • Interfere with your sleep
  • Cause significant pain
  • Diminish your quality of life

Healthcare Expenses

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that brain injuries can be abnormally costly from a healthcare perspective. The cost of your injury-related healthcare may depend on the severity of your injury and the duration of your symptoms.

Medical care for your brain injury may include:

  • Observation in the emergency department
  • Surgery
  • Medical imaging
  • Hospitalization
  • At-home care
  • Medical equipment such as a wheelchair
  • Neurological testing 
  • Rehabilitation
  • Any other medical services you require for treatment or healing 

These services can become expensive. Our team will work to ensure that you receive a fair settlement that covers healthcare expenses for your traumatic brain injury. 

Professional Damages

A brain injury will interfere with most types of work, whether you work behind a desk or in a labor-intensive field. Your inability to work may cause:

  • Complete or partial loss of income
  • Reduced earning power, as you may have to scale back your hours or change positions because of your brain injury
  • Inability to earn promotions or performance bonuses
  • Loss of benefits that are tied to your performance 
  • Loss of productivity and fulfillment

You may have losses in addition to those listed, and our team can seek fair compensation for those losses. If you suffered a brain injury in a car accident, for example, you may need temporary transportation and repairs for your vehicle. Other circumstances may cause different types of losses.

We fight for the financial settlement our clients deserve, regardless of how their brain injury happened.

How Can I Get a Fair Settlement for My Traumatic Brain Injury?

Our Florida personal injury attorneys will fight for fair financial recovery after your head injury. Our firm represents brain injury victims so that they can focus on their treatment, rest, and rehabilitation. 

We seek settlements and judgments for our clients by:

  • Identifying those who have harmed you: Any person who caused your traumatic brain injury should face accountability. We will investigate the circumstances that led to your brain injury. This investigation will help us identify all liable parties. 
  • Obtaining proof of negligence: Our investigation may also turn up proof of negligence. Video footage, witness accounts, and other evidence may show how liable parties caused or failed to prevent your brain injury.
  • Documenting damages: You know your damages exist, but we’ll need to prove those damages to liable parties. Medical records, medical bills, proof of lost income, and expert testimony may help us prove your losses.
  • Leading the legal process: We will handle every aspect of the legal process, including paperwork and communications. We have experience working with traumatic brain injury cases.
  • Negotiating a settlement: Our case results show how effective our team is when negotiating settlements. Defendants in your case should know that we will take your case to trial if they don’t settle your case fairly, possibly leading them to offer an appropriate settlement.
  • Going to trial: If the circumstances of your case lead us to trial, our team will prepare for court. 
  • Head injuries are serious, so we provide serious representation to victims like you. 

Pay No Upfront Fees or Costs When You Hire Our Firm

A brain injury can cause significant financial stress. Our firm won’t charge you any money upfront or out of your own pocket. We look out for your financial well-being, so our attorney will only receive a payment if they get a settlement or judgment for you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Andrew Pickett and his entire team! When I first started my case, I was frustrated and didn’t fully understand the legal process, and I initially gave them a one-star review. But Andrew and his team never gave up on me. They continued to stand by my side, worked extremely hard on my behalf, and stayed committed to getting my case resolved. What really stood out to me was their dedication and willingness to keep fighting for the best possible outcome. They handled my case professionally and worked hard to get it settled. I’m extremely grateful to Andrew Pickett and his entire team for everything they did for me. If you’re looking for a legal team that will stand beside you, work hard for you, and see your case through, I definitely recommend giving them a call. Thank you, Andrew Pickett and team, for all your hard work and dedication!

He took the stress completely off my shoulders so I could focus on recovering. I would also like to recognize Lindsay, Jeremy, Vonda, and Caroline for always keeping me updated throughout the entire process and addressing any questions or concerns I may have had. Thanks to Andrews incredible expertise and relentless advocacy, he secured a phenomenal outcome that exceeded all of my expectations. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking personal injury attorney on the Space Coast who delivers real results, look no further than Andrew Pickett Law. They are the best in the business.

When my fiancé was in a serious car accident, we were completely overwhelmed, but Andrew Pickett and his team were an absolute blessing. They stepped in immediately, handled every detail with the insurance companies, and kept us updated every step of the way. Seeing how much stress they lifted off his shoulders was a huge relief. Andrew fought hard and won an amazing outcome for his case. We are so incredibly grateful for this firm's dedication and highly recommend them!

That was so sweet of them, giving out free backpacks and supplies for the kids and making it easier for the parents to come up and just grab the backpacks and go to get home to their children. Love this event for people. I hope to see them next year as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Phindile at Andrew Pickett Law. From the moment she answered the phone, she was kind, compassionate, and truly listened to everything I had to say. After spending almost 16 months with another law firm where I felt completely ghosted and struggled with a lack of communication, I was feeling frustrated and unheard. Phindile spent nearly an hour on the phone with me, patiently listening to my concerns, answering my questions, and walking me through the process. She made me feel like my case actually mattered. In that one phone call, I received more communication, care, and reassurance than I had during my entire 16 months with my previous firm. Her professionalism, empathy, and willingness to help made such a stressful situation feel so much easier. If the rest of the team is anything like Phindile, I know I’m in good hands. Thank you for treating me with kindness and making me feel heard. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done.

Andrew was a very nice person. Unfortunately they did not have shade for the people in the pre register line. Which left people with disabilities and non disabled left in the sun. They did provide little bottles of sunscreen and promo hand fans. Water was provided. Thank you for the kindness.

My wife and I got hit with a car accident and the insurance chaos that followed. Tiffany Whitehouse and the Andrew Pickett Law team stepped up. Tiffany was always on the ball and went the extra mile. Vonda, Lindsey, Lauren, and Caroline really cared. They handled everything so we didn’t have to, moved fast, and got us the max they could. No stress. Just results

It was a pleasure to volunteer with Andrew Pickett Law Firm and his incredible team. I can’t say enough about how amazing his team communicated with me. A wonderful community event. The families that his firm helped at this year’s Back-to-School event was such a rewarding experience. The team was well-organized, welcoming, and made it so easy for me as a volunteer to step right in and make a meaningful impact. Watching the kids get excited about their new backpacks filled with supplies and seeing parents feel supported as the school year begins was the best part of the day. It’s amazing what can happen when a community comes together with a shared goal. I’m so grateful to have been a part of it and definitely look forward to helping out again in the future.

It was a pleasure meeting Mr. Pickett and everyone at the law firm. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. Mr. Pickett took the time to personally greet me, listen attentively, and make me feel valued. What impressed me most was his commitment to giving back to the community, especially through initiatives that support local youth, such as the annual back-to-school backpack drive. It’s inspiring to see a law firm that not only provides excellent service but also makes a meaningful impact beyond the office. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Pickett and his incredible team.
