Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys

Few injuries threaten a person’s well-being more than those involving the brain. Whether caused by external force, medical errors, oxygen deprivation, or toxic exposure, damage to the brain can change the lives of victims and families in profound and permanent ways.

As a firm nationally recognized for litigating complex claims involving catastrophic injuries, Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen is well aware of the far-reaching repercussions that can accompany brain injuries.

This is why we help victims fight for the compensation they need, when they need it most.

Who Can Sue Over a Brain Injury?

Any Florida resident who has sustained a brain injury because of another party’s negligence can sue for compensation. However, victims must prove that negligence caused the injury. For example, if a drunk driver struck your vehicle and you suffered a brain injury, you would have to prove that the other driver was drunk and, therefore, acting negligently.

Other common negligent causes of brain injuries include:

  • Sports accidents
  • Slip and falls
  • Medical mistakes
  • Truck, bus, and other traffic accidents
  • Bicycle and pedestrian accidents

It is important to sue the correct party, or the case will be thrown out. This could cause you to miss the deadline to file suit against the correct party, surrendering your right to seek compensation.

Expenses You Can Recover

If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury that could have been prevented, you may have the right to seek compensation for your harm and losses. That includes compensation for damages such as:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation, therapy, and other needed treatment
  • Lost income and lost future wages
  • Physical pain and suffering / emotional injuries
  • Disability, death, and lost companionship and support

Types of Brain Injuries

The brain can sustain many different injuries in a variety of ways, such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): An acquired brain injury (not present at birth) that results from trauma to the head, which causes the brain to shift, compress, or slam against the skull. Mild traumatic brain injuries are more commonly known as concussions.
  • Toxic exposure: When a person is exposed to toxic substances or materials, such as lead, a brain injury can result. Defective products and medications are often behind these injuries.
  • Oxygen deprivation: Brain injuries rooted in oxygen deprivation are often caused by incidents such as near-drowning accidents, birth injury, or anesthesia errors. A lack of oxygen leads to a decreased flow of oxygenated blood to the brain. The longer a person is deprived of oxygen, the more severely the brain will be injured.

It is also increasingly common for stem cell therapy patients to suffer brain injuries.

Work with a Proven Trial Team

Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen has built a legacy of successfully resolving high-stakes litigation, including litigation pertaining to brain injuries. We help clients who have suffered TBIs and other types of brain damage pursue justice.

Our notable brain injury case results include the following:

  • Eight-figure settlement negotiated in favor of a patient who suffered a hypoxic brain injury after medical staff failed to treat a heart attack in a timely manner.
  • $16 million settlement negotiated for a patient who suffered severe brain damage after she was left unattended despite having repeatedly pulled at her tracheostomy tube.
  • $9.8 million settlement negotiated for a couple whose baby suffered severe brain damage and developed a permanent disability due to a lack of care during labor and delivery.

A lawsuit cannot make up for what happened. We know that. It can, however, help you recover compensation to afford the medical care you need. Further, holding the liable party accountable can provide you with a sense of closure.
