Traumatic Brain Injury Settlements in Connecticut | Rodie and Rodie
If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Connecticut, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation. While every case is different, TBI settlements in Connecticut often range between $700,000 and $1.2 million, with some cases resulting in multi-million-dollar payouts—especially when permanent disability or life-altering impacts are involved.
🧠 What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a blow or jolt to the head causes disruption in brain function. TBIs can range from concussions to severe brain damage, and the long-term effects may include memory loss, cognitive decline, mood disorders, and permanent disability.
💰 How Much Is a TBI Case Worth in Connecticut?
Average Settlement Range:
-
Mild to moderate TBI: $100,000 – $750,000
-
Severe TBI with permanent impairment: $1 million – $5 million+
-
Catastrophic TBI: $10 million+ (in extreme cases)
These figures are general estimates. Your specific settlement will depend on the facts of your case, including medical evidence, expert testimony, and the impact on your life.
🧾 Factors That Affect TBI Settlement Value in CT
1. Severity of Injury
-
Longer hospital stays, surgical interventions, or ICU admission raise the value of a claim.
-
Permanent brain damage or reduced mental capacity often leads to higher awards.
2. Impact on Daily Life and Quality of Living
-
Inability to work, care for family, or live independently dramatically increases settlement value.
3. Economic Damages
-
Current and future medical bills
-
Loss of income and reduced earning capacity

Ongoing therapy, rehab, or in-home care
4. Pain and Suffering

Emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD

Mood and behavioral changes
5. Comparative Fault in Connecticut
Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
