The Villages Brain Injuries
The brain is the most important — and vulnerable — organ in the body. Even though the hard skull protects the brain, it can still be easily damaged, which can result in long-term disabilities.
Even a “soft” or “mild” blow or jolt to the head can cause complex and significant cognitive damage that can last for years. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a common cause of death and disability in our country, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and each day approximately 138 people in the United States die from injuries that include TBI.
If you or someone you love is the victim of a serious brain injury, you know how difficult it is to recover the quality of life you were accustomed to before the accident. TBI can devastate a person’s ability to perform at work, maintain close relationships, and engage in the activities that they previously enjoyed.
While a lawsuit cannot heal the severity of a traumatic brain injury, our brain injury attorneys at Morgan & Morgan’s The Villages office can fight on your behalf to try and secure your family the compensation needed to pay for expensive medical care, cover loss of income, and more.

Common Causes of TBI
Traumatic brain injuries range wildly in how they occur and how severely they impact the victim of the injury. The majority of TBIs are mild concussions which 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; and
- Sports and Recreational Injuries.
Symptoms of TBI
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 speed; and
- Agitation.
If you have experienced any of these symptoms following an injury to the head, visit your doctor immediately.
How Our Brain Injury Attorneys in The Villages Can Help
Our brain injury attorneys in The Villages 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 injuries.
Your attorney will investigate the accident and collect evidence to show that another person’s negligence was to blame for your injury, whether you sustained your brain injury 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.
Statute of Limitation
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.
Wrongful Death
If the traumatic brain injury results in the victim’s 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, and more.
Our brain injury attorneys in The Villages work on a contingency-fee basis with no upfront costs to you. You will only pay a reasonable fee if your attorney is successful in recovering compensation for your damages.
