Call Us NowHow TBIs Happen and How We Can Help
According to the Mayo Clinic, a traumatic brain injury is the result of “a violent blow or jolt to the head or body” or of “an object that goes through brain tissue.” You could end up suffering such an injury if you were involved in a:
- Car accident where you were shaken in your seat or struck by flying debris
- Motorcycle accident where you were thrown from the bike and hit your head
- Slip and fall accident where you lost your balance and fell on a flat surface or on stairs
- Premises liability accident where you fell from a height or were attacked by a person or animal
Our team understands the differences between each of these and other case types. We are prepared to handle all legal tasks required to keep your case moving smoothly, including:
- Managing communication: You do not have to worry about dealing with the insurance adjuster or confronting the liable party because we can do all of the talking on your behalf.
- Collecting evidence: We can collect certain materials by visiting the accident scene. We also request documents from the Rathdrum Police Department, your doctors, the liable party, and anyone else who might possess critical information.
- Fighting for compensation: Whether we have to spend hours at the negotiating table or present your case in civil court, we are ready to fight aggressively for the best possible outcome.

Schedule a Free ConsultationWhat You Should Do After a Brain Injury
Depending on how seriously you were injured, you may not be able to safely do anything except receive medical care in the immediate aftermath of the accident. This is okay. You should always put your health first, especially if you are injured badly enough to require specialized care at a trauma center like the one at Kootenai Health.
For those who are able to consider their legal rights, here are some steps you can take in addition to seeing a doctor:
- Taking photographs of everything and everyone at the accident scene
- Reporting your accident by calling 911 or filing a report with the property manager
- Saving all relevant materials, including doctor’s bills
- Getting the at-fault party’s information—for example, by speaking to the driver who hit you

Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Lawyer Do You Need for a Traumatic Brain Injury Case?
Your lawyer’s experience should closely match the unique details of your case. This means finding an attorney who has dealt not just with TBI cases before but also with cases involving the type of accident you were in. For example, if you were involved in a car accident, be sure to ask your attorney what experience they have with car accident cases.
Can You Sue for a Brain Injury?
You have the right to sue if someone else’s negligence caused your accident. However, filing a lawsuit is not always the best option: you might be able to get your money quicker by filing an insurance claim. Our legal team can help you decide whether or not filing suit is the right path for you.
How Hard Is it to Win a Traumatic Brain Injury Claim?
Every case is different. Traumatic brain injury cases often involve extensive losses, including intangible losses like emotional struggles, which can make them more difficult to win. Ultimately, your case’s outcome will come down to the quantity and quality of evidence and how well you present that evidence.
Our attorneys can make your case as strong as possible before presenting it to others.
