MIAMI BRAIN INJURY ATTORNEY

Traumatic Brain Injuries range widely in how they occur and how severely they impact the victim. The majority of TBIs are mild concussions that temporarily impact a person’s mental status or consciousness, according to the CDC. Severe TBIs will cause an extended period of unconsciousness, memory loss, and other forms of cognitive disability. The leading causes of TBI, according to data gathered by the CDC, include:

• Falls
• Unintentional blunt trauma
• Motor vehicle crashes
• Assaults
• Sports and recreational injuries

Approximately 248,418 children under the age of 19 were treated for sports- and recreation-related injuries that included TBI, according to 2009 data collected by the CDC. Car crashes are the third leading cause of TBI for all age groups and are the second leading cause for TBI-related deaths.

A TBI can result in a variety of physical and psychological symptoms, and not all of them appear immediately after the accident. However, the most common symptoms of a severe traumatic brain injury, according to the Mayo Clinic, include:

• Loss of consciousness
• Persistent headache
• Vomiting and nausea
• Convulsions
• Seizures
• Dilation of pupils
• Fluids draining from nose or ears
• Loss of coordination
• Confusion
• Coma
• Slurred speech
• Agitation

If you have experienced any of these symptoms following an injury to the head, visit your doctor right away.

Our brain injury attorneys in Miami have years of experience handling lawsuits on behalf of victims of traumatic brain injuries. We will work with you and your family to hold the person who caused your brain injury responsible for their actions and prove the severity of your wounds. Your attorney will investigate the accident and collect evidence to show that another person’s negligence was to blame for your brain injury, whether you sustained it through a car accident, fall, or trauma. Our experienced attorneys will also review your medical records to ensure that the compensation you seek for your injuries can cover all future medical expenses and, if necessary, the loss of your earning capacity.

The statute of limitation for filing a brain injury lawsuit in Florida is four years after the date of the accident, according to state law. Therefore, it is essential to reach out to an attorney as soon as possible if you or someone you love is the victim of a brain injury.

If the traumatic brain injury results in a death, the family of the victim can pursue compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. The family may be able to recover compensation for damages including funeral expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and more.

Our brain injury attorneys in Miami work on a contingency fee basis, with no upfront costs to you. You will pay a reasonable fee only if your attorney is successful in recovering compensation for your damages.
