Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Concussions and Post-Concussion Syndrome — Often called "mild TBI," concussions can cause headaches, cognitive fog, memory problems, dizziness, and emotional changes that last for months or even years. Multiple concussions increase the risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
- Brain Contusions — Bruises on the brain caused by direct impact. Severe contusions may require surgical removal and can cause localized neurological deficits.
- Diffuse Axonal Injuries (DAI) — Caused by rotational forces that tear nerve fibers throughout the brain. DAI is one of the most common and devastating types of TBI, often resulting in coma or persistent vegetative states.
- Intracranial Hemorrhage — Bleeding within or around the brain that can increase intracranial pressure and cause secondary brain damage if not treated immediately.
- Penetrating Brain Injuries — Objects that penetrate the skull and enter the brain, causing localized damage to specific brain regions.
- Second Impact Syndrome — A dangerous condition where a second concussion occurs before the first has healed, potentially causing fatal brain swelling.
Long-Term Effects and Compensation for Brain Injuries in Florida
The long-term effects of a brain injury can touch every aspect of a victim's life. Cognitive impairments may prevent you from returning to your career. Personality changes can strain relationships with family and friends. Physical symptoms like chronic headaches, seizures, and balance problems may require ongoing treatment.
Under Florida law, brain injury victims can recover compensation for: all past and future medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, cognitive and emotional changes, loss of enjoyment of life, caregiver and home care costs, home and vehicle modifications for disability, and assistive devices and technology.
Because brain injuries often require lifetime care with costs running into millions of dollars, it is critical to work with an attorney who understands how to properly value these claims. A premature settlement that seems generous today may fall far short of your needs a decade from now.
Florida Laws That Affect Your Case
Statute of Limitations
In Florida, you have a limited time to file your claim: 2 years for negligence (FL Statute § 95.11). Missing this deadline typically means you lose your right to compensation permanently.
“Time is your most valuable asset after an injury. Contact a Miami attorney immediately to ensure your claim is preserved.”
Modified Comparative Negligence
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages. Otherwise, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Florida Insurance System
Florida operates under a No-Fault (PIP required) system. $10,000 PIP coverage required.
