Tampa Brain Injury Attorney

Brain injuries are so severe because in addition to the physical aspects of the injury, there are emotional and cognitive elements that can be very challenging for a victim and their loved ones to manage and recover from. There is a wide spectrum of brain injuries that includes everything from a moderate concussion to death. According to University of Florida Health, out of the 1.4 million people who sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) every year in the United States, about 50,000 die, 235,000 are hospitalized, and 1.1 million are treated and released from the emergency room. The expenses associated with both the immediate diagnosis and the long-term care of a brain injury can be astronomical, which is why if another person’s negligence caused the injuries, they need to be held responsible. If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI, a Tampa brain injury attorney from Hale Law can help you determine if you have a case and assist you in seeking financial compensation.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF TBIS

Diffuse Axonal Injury – When the fibers that connect the brain neurons are sheared during a trauma to the head, the brain function may be greatly impaired or even lost in the region that sustained the damage.
Hematoma – There are three types of hematomas associated with brain trauma, depending on where the blood vessel ruptures. Any bleeding in the brain can be life threatening.
Concussion – According to Healthline, concussions are graded by the severity of the symptoms on a scale of 0-4. With a grade 4 concussion the victim is unconscious for at least a minute and can take months to recover from.
Penetration or Skull Fracture – Some injuries to the brain happen because an object penetrates the skull. Fractures can cause swelling to the area, which often complicates the injury.

DETERMINING THE COST OF A BRAIN INJURY

It can take months or even years to fully understand the impact a brain injury has on an individual. Initially, there will be costs such as the ambulance bills, hospital stay, and lost wages. However, some individuals require additional treatment for years to come or may not be able to return to working at the same capacity they were prior to the injury, and all of this must be taken into consideration before filing a personal injury claim. TBIs affect every aspect of a person’s life, from their work and hobbies to their relationships and ability to remember tasks. There can be a desire to resolve a personal injury case quickly so that the victim can receive compensation. However, it is often worth it to have patience and make sure any claims take into account the full picture of the injury prior to submitting them.
