Understanding Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can range from what doctors describe as mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Even when a person appears stable at first, brain injuries can develop or reveal symptoms over hours or days.
Common brain injury symptoms can include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Memory problems
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Changes in mood
- Trouble sleeping
More serious injuries may involve loss of consciousness, seizures, slurred speech, or major changes in behavior and personality. These symptoms can interfere with work, school, relationships, and the ability to handle daily tasks independently.
Our brain injury attorney in Paragould can help document how the injury affects everyday life, gather medical records and opinions, and seek compensation that takes both current and future needs into account. Our team works to make sure that the full impact of the injury is part of any settlement discussions or lawsuit.
Types of Brain Injury Compensation
Family members often ask what compensation in a brain injury case can actually cover. While every situation is different, these cases typically involve both economic and non-economic losses. Economic losses are financial costs that can be measured more directly, while non-economic losses relate to the human impact of the injury on the person’s life.
Damages in a brain injury case can include:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical costs
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of quality of life
- Home modifications
At Wells & Wells, we work to understand the immediate impact and what your future may realistically require, then we use that information in pursuing compensation through insurance negotiations or, when appropriate, a lawsuit. Although no lawyer can promise a specific result, our goal is to seek the full value of the claim based on the available evidence.

What if I can't get in contact with the trucking company after my crash?If you made sure to collect the trucking company's contact information from the trucker at the time of your accident, but have not been able to get a hold of them, we may be able to help. Our truck accident lawyers are used to dealing with trucking companies and can help get the information you need. Oftentimes trucking companies are located in a different state than the one in which the accident occurred, so having an attorney contact them on your behalf may lead to better results than contacting them yourself.
-
Who is financially responsible in a trucking accident, the driver or the trucking company?
The answer to this question depends on the situation and can be fairly complicated. Is the driver an employee or an independent contractor? Typically, a company cannot be held financially responsible for the actions of an independent contractor. To learn more about the "respondeat superior" theory and how this may influence your case, contact our truck accident lawyers to schedule a free consultation.
-
Why are trucks more likely to cause injuries in an accident than passenger cars?The primary difference between a trucking accident and a passenger car accident is the huge difference in weight. Because of the sheer difference in size, trucks typically cause more destruction in an accident than a typical passenger vehicle does. Trucks also can often be hauling hazardous or flammable material, which makes them more dangerous in an accident.
