Brain Injury Attorney In Vancouver
The Law Office of Gregory E. Price, P.S., exclusively represents people injured by the negligence of others in Vancouver, Washington, and the greater Portland area. If your symptoms surfaced days or weeks after a crash, what you are experiencing is real. Every resource we have goes toward proving your injury and maximizing your recovery.
Why Do Brain Injury Symptoms Take Days Or Weeks To Appear After A Crash?
After a motorcycle wreck or any other crash on highways like I-5 or SR-500, your body releases adrenaline which can suppress the early signs of a brain injury. Swelling and nerve damage often take days to become noticeable, so you may not connect your symptoms to the accident at all.
A delayed onset does not weaken your legal claim. Washington’s RCW 4.16.080 generally gives you three years from the accident date to file, and delayed symptoms may affect when that period begins. This is why documenting symptoms early and linking them to the crash is critical.
Can You Still File A TBI Claim If Your ER Brain Scan Came Back Normal?
Yes, you can still pursue a TBI claim even if your ER brain scan comes back normal. We work with specialized professionals who know how to document and prove these injuries to insurance adjusters:
- Neuropsychological testing: Identifies cognitive impairments and memory deficits no imaging scan can detect
- Diffusion tensor imaging: Reveals white matter damage linked to post-concussion syndrome
- Expert medical testimony: Connects your diagnosis directly to the accident on record
- Functional impact records: Documents how your brain injury affects your daily life
These standard scans frequently miss microscopic nerve damage from concussions and mTBIs, so a normal result does not mean nothing happened to you.
What If Your Accident Happened In Portland But You Live In Vancouver?
If your crash occurred in Portland or elsewhere in Multnomah County, Oregon law may govern your claim even if you live in Clark County. Oregon follows modified comparative negligence, which means you cannot recover damages if you are 51% or more at fault. On the other hand, Washington follows pure comparative fault, which means you can still recover compensation regardless of your percentage of responsibility.
