Compensation For Depression After a Brain Injury

Brain Injury Lawyer

When someone else’s negligence causes your injury, you need to consider whether the injury was severe enough to file a claim for compensation.

Those who have experienced minor injuries may only face minimal recovery time. However, when someone else’s negligence causes an injury like a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and you begin to suffer from depression, you may be entitled to financial compensation, as a brain injury lawyer in Houston, TX from a law firm like John K. Zaid & Associates, can explain.

Depression is not obvious like the loss of a limb or lost wages, and you may be wondering how you can file a claim for damages. Fortunately, an experienced brain injury lawyer can help you get the money you deserve so you can move on from your injury and begin to live fully again.

Determining Depression After a TBI

When someone else’s negligence causes you to suffer from a TBI, you should pursue compensation for your injuries. This might seem obvious for more physical symptoms, but you should keep in mind that you can pursue compensation for depression, as well. To determine whether or not you are owed compensation, you should determine whether or not you are suffering from depression – and if your depression can be traced to your injury. You might be suffering from depression after a TBI if:

  • You begin increasing the number of drugs or the amount of alcohol you typically consume
  • You have overwhelming feelings of sadness
  • You are contemplating suicide
  • You feel down or sad most days
  • You do not have the same level of interest in your usual activities
  • You have seen a doctor who has diagnosed you with depression

One of the most important steps you can do for yourself (and your TBI claim) is to seek the help of a doctor as soon as possible if you begin noticing signs of depression after a TBI. A doctor can formally diagnose you with depression, which can help your case immensely.

Can I receive compensation?

Yes. If you have been diagnosed with depression resulting from a TBI that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you can work with a brain injury attorney to receive compensation. It is critical to have a medical professional diagnose you with depression and show that it is a direct result of your traumatic brain injury.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to an experienced brain injury lawyer. Recovery comes one step at a time, and with their help you can finally get back to living, instead of struggling with your injury.
