Our team proves negligence in traumatic brain injury cases by:

- Showing that the defendant breached their duty of care to you: We will identify the specific breach of duty of care once we have reviewed your case.
- Showing that the breach of duty of care caused your accident: This link may be apparent through witness accounts, video footage, reconstructions, and other evidence.
- Showing the damages you’ve suffered because of the defendant’s negligence: This will include any damages resulting from your traumatic brain injury.
Negligence is the liability standard in most civil cases. Our legal team will make our case based on the facts surrounding your traumatic brain injury.

How The Bruning Law Firm Will Assist with Your Brain Injury Case
The team at The Bruning Law Firm will handle every responsibility necessary to complete your case. A traumatic brain injury case typically requires us to:
Determine the Cost of Your Damages
The Bruning Law Firm will determine exactly how much your brain injury has cost you. We will also determine how much you are likely to lose to future damages.
Once we have determined the cost of each of your damages, we’ll know how much money you deserve. This is the amount we will seek during settlement negotiations.
Document Your Damages
Your attorney from The Bruning Law Firm will document each of our damages, possibly using:
- Medical bills
- Images of your brain injury
- Expert testimony about your injuries, symptoms, and related damages
- Proof that you have been unable to work because of your injury
For each damage we identify, we’ll seek documentation. This way, those liable for those damages cannot claim that they are exaggerated or nonexistent—we’ll have the receipts.
Secure Evidence of Defendants’ Liability
Once we understand how your brain injury happened, we’ll seek evidence that the liable parties caused the injury. The types of evidence we obtain will depend on the reason for your brain injury. For example, in a car accident case, we may have an expert reconstruct the collision. In other case types, other types of evidence may be appropriate.
Complete Settlement Talks
The Bruning Law Firm will lead settlement negotiations on your behalf. These discussions can become tense, as liable parties generally try to avoid paying victims what they deserve. Your attorney from our firm will insist that liable parties compensate you for all of your damages.

We accomplish this goal by:
