Traumatic Brain Injury

Miami Brain Injury Lawyers

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an injury to the brain that occurs due to physical trauma to the head or body, such as in the case of a car accident, fall, or blow to the head. A traumatic brain injury will often have a significant impact on a victim’s life, resulting in memory loss, personality changes, speech and language impairment, difficulty controlling bodily functions, and a number of other serious conditions that may intervene with him or her having the opportunity to lead a normal life. If severe enough or left untreated, a traumatic brain injury may even result in death.

Due to the significant consequences of a traumatic brain injury, it is important to consider involving an attorney to assist you with any insurance claim or potential lawsuit against the individual or entity that caused your or a loved one’s injuries. A Miami brain injury lawyer at Remer & Georges-Pierre, PLLC can offer you a free consultation to discuss your unique case and legal options.

Negligence and Traumatic Brain Injury

When negligent or reckless conduct – or even intentional wrongdoing – leads to a traumatic brain injury, the victim or family of the victim may take legal action against the responsible party. This may be a drunk driver who caused an auto accident, a negligent property owner who caused a slip and fall accident, or the manufacturer of a defective product that caused serious head trauma. The victim or victim’s family may be able to take action in civil court, including in cases involving assault or intentional misconduct. This will give the victim the opportunity to seek financial compensation for his or her injuries, which may add up to a better ability to rebuild and recover.
