More severe TBIs can lead to bruising, torn brain tissue, bleeding, and other issues that can be life-altering for victims and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can lead to <strong>sudden, catastrophic changes<\/strong> that range from abrupt changes in personality to sudden and permanent disabilities, drastically affecting one\u2019s lifestyle and lifetime earning capacity.

These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Closed and penetrating brain injuries<\/strong>: A closed brain injury occurs when neither the brain nor the skull has been broken through, such as a concussion. A penetrating, or \u201copen head,\u201d injury occurs when there is a break in the skull, and either skull fragments or a foreign object penetrates the brain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Concussions<\/strong>: This is the most common type of TBI, which occurs when a victim is struck in the head, moving the brain in the direction of the force until it collides with the victim\u2019s skull, causing damage. Despite being considered a minor injury in the past, with a greater understanding of neurology and issues like chronic traumatic encephalopathy becoming so prevalent in full-contact and combat sports athletes, society is learning to treat these injuries more seriously.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contusions<\/strong>: A contusion is a mild form of bleeding, or a bruise, on a victim\u2019s brain. These are often caused by a concussion. If the contusion cannot heal, it may turn into a hematoma, which may necessitate brain surgery depending on its size, location, and how long it lasts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brain Hemorrhages<\/strong>: A hemorrhage is uncontrolled bleeding on or in the brain. If it occurs in the space surrounding the brain, it is a subarachnoid hemorrhage, while an intracerebral hemorrhage occurs in the cerebral matter. This is known as a \u201cfocal\u201d TBI in that it is localized and only affects a part of the brain. These injuries can be life-threatening if not treated early.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intracranial Hematomas<\/strong>: Hematomas are collections of blood outside the blood vessels. They can form between the skull and the brain (epidural hematomas), under the thin layer of protection surrounding the brain (subdural hematomas), or within the brain itself (intracerebral hematomas). They can form days or weeks after an injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coup-contrecoup Brain Injury<\/strong>: French for \u201cblow\u201d and \u201ccounterblow,\u201d these injuries occur when a head is thrown forward, such as into a steering wheel, causing a concussion, and then snaps back due to the force, causing a second concussion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diffuse Axonal Injury<\/strong>: One of the most severe types of TBIs, this occurs when the brain is shaken or twisted inside the skull. When this happens, the long connecting fibers in the brain, axons, tear in an event known as axonal shearing. This creates microscopic tears that can be difficult to find on an MRI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Second Impact Syndrome<\/strong>: This occurs when a victim has a second TBI soon after the first. This second injury is typically more severe as the brain is still vulnerable and healing. The resulting injury can be far more severe than a similar TBI under other circumstances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just the most common injuries for the brain, and other head injuries can include fractured vertebrae, pinched nerves, damaged disks, damaged or even severed spinal cords, and a <strong>host of other brain and spinal injuries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:9547336300\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(206,166,44) 0%,rgb(135,106,2) 91%)\" rel=\"\"> Have You Been Injured?

While some patients can seem to have fully recovered, permanent symptoms and disabilities may arise later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>long-term effects of a TBI<\/strong> will depend on the circumstances of the injury and individual, such as where in the brain it took place and if there were previous TBIs. For example, the frontal lobe regulates reasoning, judgment, problem-solving, planning, and impulse control. Should this be damaged by an accident involving trauma to this region behind the forehead, the victim may start engaging in risky behaviors or exhibit inappropriate behaviors that they had not previously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, damage to the left side of the brain can cause difficulty with logic and speech, such as understanding others or being understood while talking. Damage to the right side of the brain, meanwhile, can cause an inability to perform regular or familiar tasks (apraxia) or process visual information.

However, even those with mild TBIs must be closely monitored to ensure that the symptoms do not worsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>moderate to severe TBIs<\/strong>, immediate emergency medical care is typically required. This includes ensuring that the patient has enough oxygen and blood supply, maintaining blood pressure, and taking measures like immobilization to prevent complicating any head or neck injuries. Treatment for these injuries will often include medications and other steps to reduce inflammation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These medications include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Anti-seizure drugs<\/strong> as seizures are a serious risk for those with TBIs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coma-inducing drugs<\/strong> if medical experts determine that issues like blood vessels not delivering enough oxygen are present; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diuretics<\/strong> to reduce the amount of fluid in tissues to decrease the amount of pressure on the brain in the event of inflammation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderate to severe TBIs can require surgery to heal.

This can begin in a hospital through inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, or a residential treatment facility. The rehabilitation regime will vary according to the nature of the disability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rehabilitative treatment can include working with specialists such as a:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physiatrist<\/strong>, or doctor who specializes in physical medication and rehabilitation, to oversee the process, manage rehabilitation issues that may arise, and prescribes medication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physical therapist<\/strong>, or a specialist who assists with mobility and relearning skills like the movement patterns required for walking and balance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social worker<\/strong>, who can facilitate access to service agencies, help with care decisions and planning, and facilitate coordination between professionals, care providers, and family members<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speech therapist<\/strong>, who will help the patient to improve their communication skills or use communication devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rehabilitation nurse<\/strong>, who can provide ongoing rehabilitation care and help plan discharges from in-patient facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neuropsychologist<\/strong>, who evaluates disabilities, helps manage coping behaviors and strategies, and provides therapy for mental health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recreational therapist<\/strong>, who helps the patient to return to their previous activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vocational counselor<\/strong>, who helps the patient to return to work with opportunities that may be appropriate to their new level of abilities and address potential new challenges at work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The above is an overview; however, an individual case may require particular specialists depending on their injuries and circumstances. This can be a <strong>financial burden for individuals and families<\/strong> faced with lost wages and challenging recoveries, which is why it is important to seek insurance coverage and other compensation that can help early on. Should you feel overwhelmed by dealing with insurance after an accident in Southeast Florida, a Fort Lauderdale traumatic brain injury attorney can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:9547336300\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(206,166,44) 0%,rgb(135,106,2) 91%)\" rel=\"\">Call Now to Speak With an Experienced TBI Lawyer <br>&nbsp;954-733-6300<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_My_Rights_If_Ive_Suffered_a_Traumatic_Brain_Injury\"><\/span>What Are My Rights If I\u2019ve Suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kogan-disalvo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/iStock-922323668-courtroom-gavel.png\" alt=\"Vignette view of a courtroom from the judge's bench with a gavel in the foreground\" class=\"wp-image-6365\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or a loved one are suffering after a TBI, you may be entitled to a <strong>significant financial settlement<\/strong> or judgment that can help you receive treatment, offer compensation for your pain and suffering, and hold the at-fault party responsible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The details of what remedies will be available will <strong>depend on how the TBI occurred<\/strong>. TBIs are often a result of negligence, and redressing this can include going through insurance in the case of a car accident or a fall on someone else\u2019s property. This can also include filing a lawsuit if the settlement offered will not be sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of an injury stemming from a car accident, <strong>Florida is a \u201cno-fault\u201d jurisdiction<\/strong>. This means that an injured party must first go through their personal injury protection (PIP) benefits, which are typically $10,000. If this is not sufficient, the injured party will need to secure a settlement from the at-fault motorist\u2019s insurance. Speaking with an attorney before contacting the opposing party&#8217;s insurance is a good idea. Insurance companies often offer a fast settlement that will not fully cover injuries or provide adequate long-term care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should this not provide a satisfactory settlement, the <strong>next step may be litigation<\/strong> in a negligence lawsuit. This will involve proving that the negligent party owed a duty to the injured party, that they violated that duty, and that this violation of duty caused the injury.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the tragic event of a fatality caused by a TBI, the survivors of the victim will often have the option of filing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kogan-disalvo.com\/fort-lauderdale-injury\/wrongful-death-lawyer\/\">wrongful death claim<\/a>. A <strong>wrongful death lawsuit<\/strong> is designed to provide recuperation of the damages suffered by family members from their loss. This can help with the lingering financial issues left by the accident, as well as provide for the long-term needs of family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Settling with an insurance company or filing a negligence or wrongful death lawsuit all require <strong>gathering and organizing evidence for submission<\/strong>. Further complicating matters is the fact that Florida is a &#8220;comparative negligence&#8221; jurisdiction. This means that damages will be reduced by the amount of fault a party bears for their injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the initial process of gathering evidence immediately following the accident and following up with any additional investigations or medical reports all that more important. We recommend scheduling a <strong>free consultation with our Fort Lauderdale brain injury lawyers<\/strong> early in your case to help advise on what evidence to gather, when and how to contact an insurance company, and what sort of settlement should be pushed for to compensate for your or your family\u2019s injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:9547336300\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(206,166,44) 0%,rgb(135,106,2) 91%)\" rel=\"\">No fee unless we win.

As previously mentioned, Florida is a <strong>&#8220;comparative negligence&#8221; jurisdiction<\/strong>. This means that a plaintiff collecting damages will have them reduced by the portion of responsibility they bear, up to 50%. If the plaintiff is found to be over 51% at fault for their injuries, they are barred from recovery entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potential damages in a brain injury lawsuit can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Medical bills<\/strong>, from the original incident, as well as any follow-up rehabilitation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lost wages<\/strong>, from any time that was missed at work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pain and suffering<\/strong>, including issues like physical pain and lifestyle changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the tragic event of a fatality from a TBI, surviving family members may have the option to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Florida law,<strong> wrongful death lawsuits<\/strong> require that a person or entity caused someone&#8217;s death by a wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty. In a wrongful death lawsuit, the personal representative of the deceased person&#8217;s estate will have to file the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The damages are a bit different than negligence lawsuits, and can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Loss of support and services decedent provided to survivors<\/strong>, such as childcare or other caretaker roles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Loss of companionship, guidance, instruction, and protection<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medical expenses<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Funeral Expenses<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lost wages and other benefits<\/strong> for the projected lifetime of the decedent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Additional factors unique to each victim<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to how every case will have unique details but typically follow a familiar pattern, the same is true of damages for negligence or wrongful death: your case is unique, but will follow the same rules, guidelines, and norms as others that a <strong>TBI attorney<\/strong> experienced in your jurisdiction\u2019s courts will be able to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:9547336300\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(206,166,44) 0%,rgb(135,106,2) 91%)\" rel=\"\"> Have You Been Injured?
