Here’s what happens next
Brain injuries can come from car and motorcycle crashes, falls, and any blow or jolt to the head, even without a direct hit. Many people are told at the emergency room that they are fine, then struggle for weeks or months afterward.
Because symptoms can be subtle and are often disputed by insurers, documentation matters: prompt evaluation, follow-up with appropriate specialists, and records from family, coworkers and employers who notice the changes.
Injuries we see
Brain injuries range from concussions to moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, memory and concentration problems, light and noise sensitivity, sleep changes, irritability and depression. Some symptoms resolve; others become lasting.
Proving a brain injury claim
Imaging doesn’t always show a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury, so insurers may argue there is no injury at all. Treating physicians, neurologists, neuropsychological testing and consistent records of your symptoms are often what establish the injury and its effects.
Moderate and severe brain injuries can affect your ability to work, drive, and manage daily life. The claim must account for long-term care, therapy and lost earning capacity, which often requires input from qualified experts.
Utah law
Most Utah injury claims must be filed within four years (Utah Code § 78B-2-307). Utah uses modified comparative fault: you recover only if the other side’s combined fault exceeds yours, and your recovery is reduced by your share. At 50% or more you recover nothing (§ 78B-5-818). Claims against a government entity require a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402).
A brain injury causing permanent impairment based on objective findings generally meets Utah’s PIP threshold for general damages (§ 31A-22-309).
Arizona law
Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years (A.R.S. § 12-542). Claims against a public entity require a notice of claim within 180 days and a lawsuit within one year (A.R.S. §§ 12-821.01, 12-821). Arizona uses pure comparative fault: your share of fault reduces your recovery but does not bar it (A.R.S. § 12-2505).
The two-year deadline in Arizona can pass while you are still being evaluated. Don’t wait for a final diagnosis to call.
How Now Injury Law handles your case
You get a named case manager and a standing response window. When you call, someone picks up. When there’s news, good or bad, you hear it from us first. We get you in front of the right providers quickly, because delayed treatment hurts both your recovery and your claim, and we’ll tell you when treatment is enough.
We handle the letters to the insurance companies, the records requests and the negotiation. If an insurer won’t be reasonable, we’re prepared to file and try the case. Se habla español: our bilingual case managers Jacqueline, Janely and Noelidia work with Spanish-speaking clients in both states.
What to do after
- Get evaluated promptly after any blow or jolt to the head.
- Tell providers about every symptom, including memory, sleep and mood changes.
- Follow up with your doctor or specialist.
- Ask family and coworkers to note changes they see.
- Avoid strenuous activity until your doctor clears you.
- Call us before giving any insurer a statement.
Damages, and the math on your settlement
That’s a fair question: what can be recovered? Economic damages include medical bills (past and future), lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation, and property damage. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Every case is different, and we will never promise you a number.
We tell you when treatment is enough. Running up medical bills does not make a claim stronger, and we will never grow your medical bills to grow our fee. Before you decide on any offer, we show you the math in writing: the gross amount, fees, costs, liens, and what you keep.
Questions
Frequently asked
My scans were normal. Can I still have a brain injury?
Yes. Many concussions don’t show up on standard imaging. Diagnosis often depends on symptoms and specialized testing.
How long do brain injury symptoms last?
It varies widely. Some people recover in weeks; others have lasting effects. We don’t settle before the picture is clear.
What if the insurer says I’m exaggerating?
Consistent medical records, testing and statements from people who know you are how we respond.
What does it cost?
Free consultation — you owe nothing unless we win.
