Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a very serious injury that can occur as the result of an automobile, truck, motorcycle or other accident. A TBI can alter your life forever and leave you with a long-term need of treatment and other lifestyle modifications which can be very costly. An insurance company will want to minimize your TBI. Our experienced attorneys will help you build a solid case proving the extent and severity of your injury. Below are three effective ways you can help:

  1. Keep a log of your symptoms. Depending on the area of the brain that is injured, TBIs can affect many physical, cognitive, and emotional activities. Some symptoms may be obvious right away, while others may emerge more gradually. Signs of a TBI can include headaches, dizziness, memory loss, fatigue and sleep disruptions, difficulty concentrating or processing information, loss of coordination or bodily functions, anxiety, depression, inappropriate social behaviors and so much more. Write down your symptoms in a log or diary. Include the date, what the symptoms are, and their severity.
  2. Be communicative with your doctors. Not only are your medical providers better able to help you the more specific the information you give them, but they are also a chief source of proof of your TBI and its effect on your body. Be sure to tell your doctor all your symptoms. It’s also important that you follow all of the doctor’s treatment instructions and not miss any appointments.
  3. Ask for the help and support you need. If you are having trouble understanding the doctor’s instructions or need help in executing them or in any other areas, be sure to ask. There are many support services and groups available that can provide assistance to someone with a TBI and their family. The road to recovery and also to successfully completing your legal battle can be long. Taking care of yourself and your family to the best of your ability is essential.

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.

The Tiemann law Firm has been very good to me ever since I walked in the door. James and Emily have been very responsive and professional and make me feel comfortable when I start to freak out a bit. Accidents can be pretty stressful and I feel like they’ve gone above and beyond. I’m happy that keep me up-to-date on how my case is going. I appreciate that they make me feel like a priority and that they take my case serious. I have already recommend them to a few friends and family members. God forbid I get into another accident, but if I do, I know exactly where to come for help.
