Boise Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer

Traumatic Brain Injury

A broken bone shows up on an X-ray instantly, but a traumatic brain injury (TBI) diagnosis is rarely so quick or straightforward. You might leave a car accident scene feeling shaken but otherwise fine, only to notice weeks later that you have trouble holding a conversation or that you have a headache that never really goes away. Because the damage takes time to reveal itself, many people do not think to contact a Boise traumatic brain injury lawyer until well after the accident.

At Parke Gordon Law, we understand how easily a TBI can get minimized or dismissed, whether by an insurance adjuster or in an initial medical report. Our experienced catastrophic injury attorneys can help identify the full impact of your injury. If we take your case, we will build your claim around the full and lasting impact on your life, not just what happens in the first few weeks.

How Brain Injuries Happen and How Doctors Classify Them

A TBI does not require a direct blow to the skull. The brain can strike the inside of the skull during any sudden jolt or impact, which is why so many cases we see trace back to everyday accidents rather than dramatic ones. Common accident scenarios leading to a TBI include:

Rear-end and intersection car accidents where the head snaps forward and back
Motorcycle crashes, particularly when a helmet fails or was not worn
Falls on stairs, icy sidewalks, or unmarked hazards
Bicycle accidents involving a collision with a vehicle
Semi-truck accidents where the force of impact is far greater than in a standard collision

Doctors generally sort these injuries into three tiers—mild, moderate, and severe—based on factors such as loss of consciousness, memory gaps, and imaging results. Many people assume the word “mild” means the case has little value, but even a mild TBI can still cause lasting cognitive changes that affect your ability to work or manage daily life. Our attorneys in Boise can help you determine the true value of your TBI claim.

How Can Insurance Hurdles and Time Limits Impact Your Brain Injury Claim?

Unlike a fracture that appears clearly on an X-ray, a brain injury can be invisible on a standard scan even when real damage exists. Insurance adjusters use this to their advantage, often arguing that a claimant is exaggerating symptoms or that the injury resolved faster than it actually did.

Building a strong brain trauma claim to counter such tactics requires more evidence than you can typically obtain in a single doctor visit, but our attorneys in Boise can help you gather the other proof you need. You may require neuropsychological testing, statements from people who can describe how you have changed, and a treatment history that shows a consistent pattern rather than a one-time complaint.

Under Idaho Code § 5-219, you typically have just two years to file a claim, which can be an especially short timeline in TBI cases where symptoms can take months to fully surface.

Thankfully, state law accounts for situations where an injury leaves someone unable to manage their own legal affairs. Under Idaho Code § 5-230, if a TBI leaves you mentally incapacitated, the statute of limitations can be paused until your capacity is restored, up to a maximum of six years. Once that period ends, or you regain capacity, whichever comes first, the standard two-year filing deadline begins. This protection exists because severe brain trauma can leave someone in no position to pursue a claim right away.
