Workers’ Compensation: Experienced Brain Injury Attorneys in Phoenix
Suffering a traumatic brain injury can alter your life, and the lives of your loved ones, in many ways. Brain injuries, also commonly known as head injuries, can be caused by many situations: sudden blows or jolts to the head, impact that leads to bleeding in the brain, or tears that disconnect the brain from the rest of the body. These injuries can happen during car accidents, work accidents and other negligence, such as faulty product manufacturing or poor property managers.
Having an experienced attorney on your side helps you and those who are affected by your injury handle medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. The team at Cruz & Associates is here to help you with your workers’ compensation claim.

Filing a Lawsuit
Traumatic brain injuries can occur in the blink of an eye and often are not the fault of the injured. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury due to the negligence of a third party, you may have a case for compensation.
Working with Your Attorney
Your first step in filing a lawsuit is to contact our team at Cruz & Associates. Your free consultation will allow you to explain your situation and discuss how we can help you. It’s not always easy to put together a viable lawsuit for injuries, so it’s important to have expert legal aid on your side. Our bilingual attorneys are skilled in walking through your situation, finding where the fault lies, and getting you the compensation you need.
Your Settlement
If your lawsuit constitutes a settlement, the amount will depend on the severity of the brain injury. The more severe your brain injury, the more likely you are to receive legal compensation. Your attorney will be essential in achieving the correct settlement for your situation. Our legal team will help calculate your economic losses, which can include medical expenses, property damage and lost wages.
