Potential causes and symptoms of TBI
Injuries to the brain typically occur when an individual has been involved in an auto accident, assault, or any other incident that applies a strong external force to a person’s head. During this and other accidents, the brain’s internal wiring may be damaged, leading to short and long-term
cognitive defects, such as memory loss, dizziness, amnesia, and disorientation, among other symptoms.
However, it’s important to note that trauma to the brain may still occur due to a lack
of sufficient oxygen, even when the head did not strike an object. That’s why you need to seek immediate medical treatment if you suspect that you have sustained a traumatic brain injury. The sooner you do, the better your chances are in avoiding serious long-term cognitive impairments.
As a Florida TBI lawyer, Rick Kolodinsky knows what the best technologies and tests for trauma to the brain are, and will make sure that you receive proper TBI care and treatment.
Monetary compensation for TBI claims in Florida
If another party causes you serious brain injury as a result of their negligent behavior or wrongdoing, the individual or organization may be held liable for their actions. Whether it’s a store owner who neglected a slippery floor or a driver who violated safety laws, you will need to prove the party’s lack of care or violation of safety laws.
If there’s sufficient evidence placing the blame on the person or company who was irresponsible or broke the law, you may be able to recover monetary compensation for the damages caused. This is also true even when the defendant was acquitted of criminal charges relating to the same negligent behavior or wrongdoing. While the money you recover cannot undo your brain injury, it will go a long way in making up for potential damages such as:
- Medical bills and costs.
- Pain and suffering.
- Lost income or wages.
- Loss of earning capacity.
- Economic harm.
- Loss of ability to function.
- Emotional distress.
- Loss of spousal companionship and protection.
