Fort Lauderdale and Miami Brain Injury Attorneys

Head injuries are a particularly dangerous and sadly common effect of car accidents and fall down accidents. Traumatic brain injuries can have devastating consequences that resonate for the rest of your life.  It is estimated that about 1 million people suffer some type of brain injury each year, with half of those being caused in motor vehicle accidents.  Our experienced Miami brain injury attorneys are here to help you pursue justice and compensation for your injury.

A traumatic brain injury is caused by sudden and severe blow to your head. The most common type of head injury diagnosed from the trauma of a car accident is known as a closed head injury, such as when your head hits a hard surface, like a steering wheel or car window.  Sadly these types of close head injuries may also happen in even apparently minor car accidents.

Brain injuries may also be caused when the skull is penetrated by an object, like a piece of glass from a windshield.  Brain injuries may result in both primary and secondary damage.  Primary brain damage includes skull fractures and lobe lacerations. Secondary damage often includes swelling or infection.  

Head injuries are generally categorized as follows:

• Mild, which generally result from a short loss of consciousness
• Moderate, which are categorized as those resulting in impairments to motor functions which may last from a few weeks to permanent loss
• Severe, which result in long periods of unconsciousness or even comas

Typically brain injuries cause physical problems including tinnitus, dizziness, vision problems and lack of coordination.  More importantly, brain injuries caused debilitating cognitive problems which affect your ability to communicate, difficulty concentrating, memory deficiencies and inability to perform activities of daily living. Whether mild, moderate or severe, the victims of head and brain injuries suffer debilitating problems, which may change their lives forever.
