The brain serves as the operations center for the human body. When that nerve center suffers damage, people have the potential to lose cognitive function and control of their limbs. Even in mild cases, traumatic brain injuries can have a permanent effect on the rest of a person’s life.
Whether the injury is the product of a traffic accident, a crime, or a slip and fall, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries from the at-fault party. A Titusville traumatic brain injury lawyer is here to help individuals during this difficult time. Reach out to our firm today for guidance from an experienced catastrophic injury attorney who is ready to dedicate the time, attention, and resources needed to pursue the compensation you need to make things right.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) includes any trauma to the head that can result in permanent injury to a victim’s brain. These incidents can cause a number of symptoms, including:
The injuries themselves can range from mild to severe. In general, if a person loses consciousness, he or she is in danger of suffering a TBI. When this loss of consciousness occurs, a person’s brain is deprived of oxygen. It is this deprival of oxygen that causes the brain to suffer damage. Naturally, the longer the loss of oxygen, the greater the damage. In severe situations, the TBI can result in death.
While a Titusville brain injury attorney can help determine the cause of the incident that led to a TBI, only a doctor can effectively diagnose and treat them. It is critical to seek prompt medical attention if any symptoms of a brain injury are present.
TBIs are most often the result of a direct blow to the head. When we consider instances where these blows are caused by another person’s negligence, the most common examples are:
While it may appear clear that another party was to blame for an incident that resulted in an injury, at-fault individuals may argue that those injured did not do all that they could to protect themselves. Florida Statute § 768.81 allows a defendant to argue that an individual’s own negligence should prevent them from receiving full compensation. A Titusville traumatic brain injury attorney can fight to show that a defendant was entirely and solely responsible for an event.
Accidents that result in traumatic brain injuries will have a serious and permanent effect on a person’s life. Regardless of the cause of your TBI, a Titusville traumatic brain injury lawyer can help.
