How Elizabeth A. Citrin Helps TBI Survivors Secure Maximum Compensation

A traumatic brain injury can change every aspect of your life in an instant. From memory loss and cognitive challenges to difficulties with daily tasks, the road forward is never easy. Elizabeth A. Citrin works closely with survivors and their families to navigate the legal process, secure vital medical resources, and fight for financial compensation that truly reflects the lifelong impact of a TBI. With nearly 25 years of experience, she knows how to take on powerful insurance companies and negligent parties while providing personal attention every step of the way.

When you or a loved one suffers a traumatic brain injury, the first step in the legal process is identifying the cause and responsible party. Elizabeth A. Citrin carefully investigates accidents such as car crashes, falls, workplace incidents, or assaults to establish liability. By working with medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and financial planners, she builds a clear picture of the injury’s immediate and long-term impact. This thorough groundwork is essential for TBI survivors because insurance companies often try to downplay the seriousness of brain injuries. With nearly 25 years of experience, Elizabeth ensures no detail is overlooked so your case starts on the strongest possible foundation.

The second step in a traumatic brain injury case is calculating the full scope of damages. Elizabeth A. Citrin works with medical professionals, neuropsychologists, and financial experts to document not only current medical costs but also long-term needs such as ongoing therapy, assisted living, and loss of earning capacity. She ensures that the legal claim reflects the cognitive, emotional, and financial impact of a TBI. By fully valuing these damages, Elizabeth prevents insurance companies from minimizing the devastating effects on survivors and their families.

The third step in a traumatic brain injury case is negotiating directly with the insurance company. Elizabeth A. Citrin uses her nearly 25 years of experience to challenge lowball offers and expose tactics insurers use to minimize payouts. She presents medical records, expert testimony, and detailed evidence to support your claim’s true value. By handling the negotiations, she allows survivors and families to focus on healing while she pushes aggressively for maximum compensation.

The final step in a traumatic brain injury case is preparing for trial if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement. Elizabeth A. Citrin has extensive courtroom experience and is not afraid to present evidence before a jury. She carefully crafts arguments that highlight both the medical facts and the human story, ensuring survivors are fully represented. This readiness to go to trial often pressures insurers into settling fairly, but when trial is necessary, Elizabeth fights tirelessly for justice.
