How You Can Help Your Attorney
If you haven't done so already, begin keeping a daily journal of your activities. Family members should also write down changes they have noticed in the mannerisms, personalities, memory skills, cognitive skills and behavioral skills of the brain injury victim.
You see, most brain injuries are invisible. Brain injury lawyers must stand before a jury and make them see the invisible. The more information you can provide from your journal, the better your lawyer will be in preparing your case.
Remember, your personal injury case is about you. What damages have you suffered? It's not about anyone else. A key to approaching the legal system is for your attorney to have as much information as possible about how your brain injury has affected you.
As we pointed out in our book, Brain Injury Survivor's Guide, every brain is different before brain injury. Your memory and cognitive and behavioral skills were unique to you. Likewise, what happened to you after brain injury is unique to you.
For instance, Beth forgot the multiplication tables and could no longer multiply. Perhaps you never knew those tables. She also forgot how to cook. Perhaps you never cooked. The things that have happened to you after your brain injury are unique to you, and your brain injury lawyer needs to know about them.
What things are you having trouble with? How has your life changed? What are those things that you could once do easily that now are difficult or that you simply cannot do at all?
These are things your personal injury attorney needs to know.
