At LehmannLaw we handle a variety of personal injury cases, including:
All states have a “statute of limitations” that sets a time limit on how long you have to file a case in the state’s court system after an accident or injury. For example, under Tennessee’s statute of limitations, you have one year after the date of an accident to get any lawsuit filed. It’s important to keep track of the statute of limitations and comply with it, because if you don’t, the court may dismiss your case for failure to timely commence legal proceedings.
In the case of traumatic brain injuries, incapacitation typically results in the victim being unable to form logical thoughts, unable to make decisions or even the inability to talk or communicate. However, physical and situational damages can often be considered incapacitating as well.
You Must Prove Negligence Occurred to Receive Personal Injury Damages
To be awarded damages in a personal injury case, you and your attorney must show that the defendant acted negligently and was at fault for causing the accident. This means showing the following:
Economic Damages: These are damages for specific monetary losses and costs due to the accident. Economic damages are often easier to quantify than noneconomic damages. Examples are:
Noneconomic or general Damages
These are for less-tangible, subjective costs that do not have a specific monetary value. Examples include:
These types of damages are subjective, but there are methods to calculate their value. Our legal team can go over how we estimate a monetary value for non-economic damages after listening to your case./span>
Exemplary or Punitive Damages
These are to punish and make an example of a defendant who acted in a malicious, violent, fraudulent, or reckless way while causing your injuries. Punitive damages may sometimes be greater than compensatory damages.
