Experiencing These Symptoms? See a Doctor & Speak to Our Personal Injury Lawyers
There are many causes of traumatic brain injuries. Some of the most common causes include car accidents, medical malpractice, physical assault, slip and falls, and being struck by a fallen object. The following symptoms can indicate that you have suffered from a traumatic brain injury:
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Dizziness
- Loss of coordination
- Memory loss
- Nausea
- Persistent headaches
- Seizures
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Vomiting
Even if your symptoms are mild or you're unsure whether they're connected with your accident, it is imperative that you see a doctor. Early documentation is key to ensuring you receive the full and fair amount of damages that your case is worth.
You Have 2 Years to File
The personal injury and medical malpractice statute of limitations in Florida gives you just two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline likely means you permanently lose the ability to file. Contact our lawyers now to safeguard your future.
Our Injury Lawyers Seek Maximum Compensation
/
A TBI can lead to mounting medical bills, lost wages, occupational therapy, counseling, and many other expenses. Such steep costs can be overwhelming. The attorneys at our law firm can determine who was responsible for your injury, and help you recover the compensation you deserve for these types of financial losses and more.
Frequently Asked Questions for Our Brain Injury Lawyers in Lakeland, Florida
Do I need to go to court for a brain injury case?
Not always. Many brain injury claims are resolved through negotiation. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, our trial-tested attorneys are fully prepared to present your case in court.
How does Florida’s comparative negligence law affect brain injury cases?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are found more than 50% at fault for your injury, you cannot recover compensation. If you are less than 50% at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
What if my symptoms appear weeks after the accident?
Brain injury symptoms are sometimes delayed. Even if weeks have passed, you should still seek medical attention and contact an attorney. Proper documentation can help establish the connection between the accident and your injuries, which is critical in proving your claim and securing maximum compensation.
