Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Obviously, in a personal injury setting, traumatic brain injuries can be some of the biggest damages cases. Proving a traumatic brain injury is many times a complicated matter. Often, the plaintiff may sustain a closed injury that leaves no objective abnormality that can be detected on a diagnostic study such as an MRI or CT scan. In other words, there may not a fractured skull or a bleed on the brain or other similar abnormality, yet the plaintiff and his or her loved one will complain that the plaintiff is just not the same cognitively as before the traumatic event.

In order for the financial expert to calculate a reasonable estimate of economic damages, counsel must be prepared to ask the right questions of a claimant in order to flush out financial information and relevant details that will be useful for their expert. It is the expert's job to calculate an economic loss within a reasonable degree of certainty, and by understanding these topics, you will lay the groundwork for your expert's calculation.
