A traumatic brain injury changes a life in an instant and can keep changing it for years. Chattanooga's serious crashes on the interstate split, its falls at construction sites and businesses, and its motorcycle and pedestrian wrecks all produce brain injuries that range from concussions to catastrophic, permanent damage. The most seriously injured are treated at Erlanger Baroness Hospital, the region's only Level I trauma center. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we represent brain injury victims and their families across the Chattanooga area.

Tennessee's one-year deadline

Tennessee gives you just one year from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit under Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104, one of the shortest deadlines in the country. A brain injury makes that deadline harder to manage, because the full extent of the harm may not be clear for months. We begin the case immediately, documenting the injury as it develops so the deadline is protected and nothing is left out of the claim.

Why brain injury cases are different

A brain injury is often invisible on the surface, and insurers exploit that by arguing the victim looks fine. The real damage shows up in memory, focus, mood, and the ability to work and function. We build the case with the medical imaging, the treating specialists, and neuropsychological testing, and where needed a life care plan that projects the cost of future treatment, therapy, and support the injury will require.

Tennessee's fifty percent rule

Under the rule from McIntyre v. Balentine, you recover nothing if you are found fifty percent or more at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your share below that line. Because the lifetime cost of a brain injury is so high, insurers fight hard to shift blame. We answer with the physical evidence and reconstruction so fault stays with the party who caused the harm.

The lifetime cost we build into your claim

A serious brain injury can mean years of rehabilitation, lost earning capacity, in-home support, and around-the-clock care. A claim that settles for only the early medical bills leaves the family to absorb the rest. We value the full arc of the injury, using medical and economic experts, so the recovery reflects what the future actually costs.

Serving brain injury victims across Southeast Tennessee

Our team represents brain injury victims throughout the Chattanooga area, across Hamilton, Bradley, Marion, Sequatchie, Rhea, and Bledsoe counties. We serve people hurt in Chattanooga, Cleveland, East Ridge, Red Bank, Soddy-Daisy, Signal Mountain, Collegedale, Ooltewah, and Hixson.

Speak with a Chattanooga brain injury attorney

A brain injury deserves a firm that understands what the years ahead will cost. Call (844) 876-4357 for a free, confidential consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you owe no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Common questions

The insurer says I seem fine, so my brain injury cannot be serious. How do you counter that?

We prove the injury with objective evidence, including imaging, the treating specialists' findings, and neuropsychological testing that measures the changes in memory, focus, and function. A brain injury is often invisible on the surface, and we make its real effects undeniable.

Why does a life care plan matter in my case?

A life care plan projects the future medical treatment, therapy, equipment, and support a brain injury will require, translating them into a dollar figure. It ensures the claim accounts for the lifetime cost of the injury rather than just the bills you have already received.

My symptoms did not appear until days after the crash. Does that hurt my claim?

No. Delayed symptoms are common with brain injuries, and prompt medical documentation connects them to the crash. We gather the records and the expert opinions that establish that link so the delay is not used against you.
