Florida Car Accident Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are devastating injuries caused by significant trauma to the head.  Car accidents and falls are the two top causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries.  When a person strikes their head against parts of a vehicle during a crash, traumatic brain injury risks increase.  Some of the most severe types of Traumatic Brain Injuries are sustained during rollover accidents.

Motor Vehicle Accident Traumatic Brain Injuries 

Traumatic Brain Injuries take several forms in auto accidents and often result in one or more of the following kinds of brain injuries:

• Anoxic or Hypoxic Brain Injuries 
• Brain Bleeds
• Brain Bruising 
• Brain Contusions
• Concussions
• Diffuse Axonal Injuries 

Brain injuries are not typically diagnosable after an auto accident.  However, there are some brain injuries that can be detected at the scene of an accident.  The danger of brain injuries is that they are often undetectable or present subtle symptoms, such as nausea, headaches, nausea, or mood changes. 

Treating Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic Brain Injuries that stem from motor vehicle accidents are usually the result of an impact to the head.  However, brain injuries may occur during the violent shaking of the brain, whiplash event, or if oxygen is cut off from the brain. 

The course of treatment for a traumatic brain injury will vary depending on the type of injury and the severity of the injury.  The symptoms of a mild concussion can subside with time and rest.  However, severe brain bleeds require emergency surgery.  Moreover, anoxic and hypoxic and brain injuries can not be cured and typically result in death or severe brain damage. 

Compensation for Traumatic Brain Injuries

Victims of car accidents who have sustained traumatic brain injuries can pursue compensation for those injuries in Florida. The specific facts of a case will dictate the compensation available, but a victim’s car accident lawyer will work to obtain medical bill reimbursement, compensation for long-term treatment, and past and future lost wages, among other damages.
