Brain injuries are among the most serious and most disputed injuries in Oregon claims.
Why TBIs Are Often Missed
Concussions and mild TBIs may not appear on standard imaging, and symptoms — headaches, memory problems, mood changes — can emerge days later. Prompt evaluation creates the record that proves the injury.
Proving Long-Term Impact
Neuropsychological testing, treating-provider testimony, and statements from family about changes in functioning establish the real cost of a brain injury, which often far exceeds the early medical bills.
Valuing a Brain Injury Claim
Because Oregon generally does not cap non-economic damages in negligence cases, the lasting effects of a TBI on work, relationships, and daily life can be fully compensated when properly documented.
