Traumatic Brain Injury

Although preventable in the majority of cases, there are still numerous slip and fall incidents every single year. Unfortunately, severe cases can lead to traumatic brain injury contributing to the 2.5 million people who suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each and every year. When you add in sports injuries and motor vehicle collisions, there are a variety of injuries that can occur to the brain from contusions to concussions and even severe brain damage.

Considering these brain injuries can lead to a coma or death, brain injury victims should know their legal rights especially when negligence is involved. At The Injury Firm, our traumatic brain injury lawyers have extensive experience in recuperating costs and losses from brain injury lawsuits after serious brain injury.

With our personal injury experts, you will be talked through the process and given the best advice for your particular case. What’s more, it starts with a free evaluation so you can ask the important questions and we can gather the all-important details.

Suing a Company

Within Florida law, a traumatic brain injury claim is valid and everybody has an opportunity to receive compensation for losses and damages. With traumatic brain injuries, for example, you could potentially sue for negligence, loss of income, medical bills, etc.

However, there are some things you need to prove including the negligence of the defendant. Furthermore, the defendant should have some form of obligation to you; for example, stores are responsible for the health and safety of all visitors. After this, it is a case of proving damages and losses.

Once again, The Injury Firm is the perfect partner for this as we will assess your case and decide how strongly you sit in relation to the defendant. From here, we will compile your case in a professional manner and even represent you in court if necessary.

When looking for representation for your traumatic brain injury lawsuit, a brain injury victim need to look for negotiation skills because many defendants will settle before the court and this is something that we have experienced once again. If you would prefer to stay out of court, we will do our best to obtain a respectable compensation package beforehand.

Obtaining Compensation

When it comes to the magical world of ‘compensation’, the amount brain injury survivors receive will depend on the extent of your mild traumatic brain injury. With TBIs, they can be mild all the way to severe and fatal so the compensation package will vary for each case. Even within the concussion bracket, there are different levels of severity; whilst some have no long-term impact, others can lead to serious illnesses such as dementia. Below, we have listed some of the most common symptoms of severe brain injury;

Memory loss, seizures, impaired judgment, cognitive impairment, metallic taste, ringing in the ears, confusion, fatigue, dramatic change in sleep pattern, loss of consciousness, change in personality, sudden mood changes, and difficulty waking in the morning.

If your symptoms don’t fade after a couple of days, you should be in constant contact with the doctor and your traumatic brain injury cases will recuperate these costs later down the line. In addition to this, you can also retrieve money for pain and suffering as well as lost income as you recover.
