Early Legal Help Matters in Recovering From a Traumatic Brain Injury

Calculating the Real Value of Your Injury Claim
We calculate the full value of your traumatic brain injury claim, including medical care, future treatment, lost income, and long-term limitations, so you know exactly what your case supports under Maine personal injury law.
Handling Your Case Through Resolution
Once we take your case, it is we who deal with the insurance companies, manage the paperwork, and move your claim forward from start to finish so you can focus entirely on recovery.
What Compensation Can I Recover in a Traumatic Brain Injury Claim in Maine?
In Maine, compensation is based on both financial losses and the long-term impact of the injury on your life, including future medical needs and reduced ability to work. There is generally no cap on compensatory damages in personal injury cases, which means the full scope of harm can be considered when calculating your claim.
In a Maine traumatic brain injury claim, compensation may include:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
- Ongoing medical care and specialist treatment
- Cognitive therapy and rehabilitation
- Lost wages during recovery
- Reduced future earning capacity
- Long-term care or in-home assistance
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and psychological impact
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent cognitive or functional limitations
Even if fault is disputed, you may still recover compensation under Maine’s comparative negligence law as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident, with any recovery reduced by your percentage of fault.
At The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein, our Maine traumatic brain injury lawyers do not let insurance companies undervalue your losses. We fight to secure the full compensation you are truly entitled to, including long-term medical needs, future losses, and the real impact the injury has on your daily life, not just the initial bills the insurance company tries to focus on.
Maximizing the Value of Your Traumatic Brain Injury Claim in Maine
Traumatic brain injury cases in Maine are rarely straightforward. Symptoms can evolve over time, early records often miss the full picture, and insurance companies tend to rely on first impressions instead of long-term medical reality.
At The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein, we handle these cases with care, preparation, and persistence. We keep you informed and supported throughout the process, while making sure your traumatic brain injury claim in Maine accounts for everything you have lost and will require in the future.
Understanding the Full Medical Picture
Your dedicated lawyer will review hospital records, imaging, neurology treatment, and follow-up care, along with symptoms like memory loss, headaches, mood changes, and concentration problems that often define the injury even when scans do not fully explain it.
Getting to the Facts of How the Injury Happened
Whether the injury came from a crash, fall, workplace accident, or an ATV or snowmobile incident, our traumatic brain injury lawyers break down how it happened under Maine personal injury law and focus on the details that matter for proving responsibility.
Taking Insurance Companies Out of the Driver’s Seat
Insurance companies often move quickly in traumatic brain injury cases to limit exposure before the full impact is known. Once we are involved, our law firm handles all communication, so you are not dealing with pressure, settlement tactics, or recorded statements that could damage your claim.
Building the Full Value of a Traumatic Brain Injury Claim
We don’t evaluate a claim based on early medical bills alone. Our traumatic brain injury attorneys focus on long-term cognitive effects, work limitations, independence, and quality of life so the claim reflects the real, lasting impact of the injury.
24/7 Access to a Maine Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer, Wherever You Are
After a traumatic brain injury, things move fast and not in a helpful way. Doctors, paperwork, insurance calls, questions that do not wait until morning. We are available 24/7 because that is usually when people actually need help.
A Maine traumatic brain injury lawyer can meet you where you are, whether that is a hospital in Portland, a rehab facility in Bangor, or your home in Lewiston, Augusta, Biddeford, Sanford, Windham, and anywhere in between. If you cannot come to us, we will come to you. Simple as that.
More Than $750 Million Recovered for Injured Mainers
Our record of results reflects decades of strategic representation against national insurance carriers and local defense firms.
These are not isolated wins, but represent our long-standing commitment to pursuing full and fair compensation for all types of personal injury claims in Maine.
What Are the Most Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries in Maine?
In Maine, traumatic brain injuries are often the result of negligence. They can stem from sudden, forceful events where the head is struck, jolted, or exposed to rapid movement. Our lawyers have seen these cases in every setting imaginable, from highways and job sites to rural roads and everyday property accidents.
The most common causes we see include:
- Motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck, and motorcycle crashes on roads like I-95 and rural highways
- Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents on unsafe or poorly maintained property
- Workplace and construction accidents involving falls, falling objects, or heavy equipment
- ATV, snowmobile, and other recreational vehicle crashes common across Maine’s rural and seasonal terrain
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents involving vehicles in both urban and residential areas
- Sports and recreational impacts, including boating and contact-related injuries
- Violence-related incidents, including assaults that result in head trauma
No two traumatic brain injury cases are exactly the same, but we have seen how quickly a normal day can turn into a life-changing event. The challenge in these cases is not just proving how the injury happened, but showing its full medical impact over time. That is where having a local TBI lawyer who understands both the accident and the long-term consequences becomes critical.
Waiting Too Long to Take Action Can Cost You the Right to Compensation
In Maine, most traumatic brain injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations of six years, but some cases have much shorter deadlines and strict notice requirements, especially wrongful death claims, claims involving government entities, workplace injuries, or other specific circumstances.
Waiting too long can cost you your right to compensation entirely. Evidence can disappear, records become harder to obtain, and insurance companies begin shaping the case without you. Speaking with our traumatic brain injury lawyers early allows us to protect your claim before critical deadlines or missing information put your recovery at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Maine personal injury lawyers answer the questions we most often hear from people dealing with TBIs across the state.
What should I do immediately after a traumatic brain injury in Maine?
See a doctor right away. Brain injuries can worsen quietly, so your health is the absolute priority. Next, avoid talking to insurance adjusters or giving detailed statements until you speak with us. Early comments can be used to downplay your injury later. Once you are stable, contact The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein so we can step in and protect your rights from day one.
How much does it cost to hire a traumatic brain injury lawyer in Maine?
It costs you nothing out of pocket. At The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein, we handle all brain injury cases on a contingency fee basis. We cover every upfront legal expense, and you only pay us if we successfully win your case or secure a settlement for you.
What if I did not realize I had a brain injury right away?
That is incredibly common, and we see it all the time. Symptoms like memory gaps, mood shifts, or headaches often take days or weeks to surface. Under Maine law, your timeline depends heavily on when the injury could reasonably have been discovered. Our legal team at The Law Offices of Joe Bornstein will evaluate your medical records to ensure a delayed diagnosis doesn’t hurt your right to compensation.
How is a traumatic brain injury case valued in Maine?
There is no fixed formula or average payout. Value depends on long-term effects such as cognitive impairment, ability to work, ongoing medical care, and changes in independence or quality of life. Insurance companies often focus on early bills, but a proper injury claim includes future losses and long-term impact, which can significantly change the value.
Who can be held responsible for a traumatic brain injury in Maine?
Anyone whose carelessness caused your accident. Depending on what happened, this could be a negligent driver, a careless property owner, an employer, or a manufacturer. We launch a full investigation to identify every single at-fault party and uncover all available insurance coverage to maximize your recovery.
