Do I need a traumatic brain injury attorney?

If another party’s recklessness, carelessness, or negligence has caused you to suffer a traumatic brain, serious neck, or spinal cord injury, you should always contact a lawyer. Statistics show that victims who choose to “go it alone” obtain substantially less compensation than those who retain representation.

We handle traumatic brain injury lawsuits involving:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of brain injury for both adolescents and adults. Half of all traumatic brain injuries are caused by collisions involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles, according Mayo Clinic.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Children under age four and people over age 75 are particularly susceptible to brain injuries as a result of slip and fall accidents.

Sports Injuries

According to the Brain Injury Resource Center in Washington, an estimated 300,000 sports-related brain injuries occur in the United States each year. Our brain injury attorneys represent Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Miami, and Jacksonville victims injured while boxing, playing football, ice and roller hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, or while skiing.

Medical Malpractice

All too often, preventable hospital or emergency room mistakes result in traumatic brain injury. Our attorneys handle medical malpractice claims involving birth injuries, emergency room mistakes, and surgical errors.

Workplace Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries are among the most serious disabling injuries a person can sustain in the workplace.Workplace injury victims may require long-term compensation from a workplace insurance program like workers’ compensation.

Violent Encounters

Assault and other acts of violence account for 11 percent of all brain injury cases nationwide, according to the CDC. Firearms are the leading cause of TBI-related deaths, with nearly 9 out of 10 victims dying as a result of such brain trauma.

Who can sue for a traumatic brain injury?

Anyone who suffers a traumatic brain injury due to the reckless or negligent actions of another may be eligible to file a lawsuit.

Additionally, if you have lost a loved one, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim.
