Miami Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers

Ready To Fight For Your Rights in Florida Brain Injury Cases

Traumatic brain injuries can result from various incidents, including car accidents, workplace injuries, sports mishaps, or even medical malpractice. Regardless of the cause, if your injury was due to someone else’s negligence, we are here to fight for your rights. Many individuals assume that a brain injury can result only from an object striking the head, but any sudden jarring motion can cause the brain to hit the inside of the cranium with sufficient force to cause an injury. An experienced attorney can provide the legal advice you need to seek monetary compensation for your injuries or lost wages.

At Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, P.A., we understand the devastating impact a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have on your life. From physical pain and emotional challenges to financial burdens, TBIs can upend your daily routine and long-term plans. Our Miami-based legal team is committed to providing skilled, compassionate representation to help you seek justice and the compensation you deserve.

Headquartered in Coral Gables, the lawyers at Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, P.A. are prepared to represent clients throughout Florida and nationwide.

Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden impact or jarring motion causes the brain to collide with the skull, leading to damage. While some injuries may appear mild, they can still have serious consequences. TBIs are typically classified as:

  • Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBIs): Often referred to as concussions, symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, confusion, and temporary cognitive impairments.
  • Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries: These involve more significant damage, potentially leading to long-term cognitive, physical, and emotional disabilities.

Signs of TBI

Depending on the severity of the impact, individuals will likely be diagnosed with either a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Symptoms can include:

  • Persistent headaches, pain, and confusion
  • Cognitive and/or memory problems
  • Fatigue and changes in sleep patterns
  • Mood changes
  • Sensory problems such as changes in vision or hearing

If left untreated, TBIs can result in severe complications like cerebral hypoxia, where the brain receives insufficient oxygen, further exacerbating cognitive and physical impairments. Medical professionals will typically run diagnostic tests to determine if the structure or function of the brain has been damaged. Depending on the extent of the damage, individuals might face serious cognitive challenges and devastating lifelong impairment.

Cerebral Hypoxia

The skull and the fluid surrounding the brain in the cranium are sufficient to protect an individual against trauma in a low-impact injury. However, severe impact or an untreated infection can lead to a catastrophic reduction in cognitive ability.

Whether the structure (physical features) or the function (cognitive abilities) of the brain is damaged, there can be devastating ramifications. These symptoms can be more severe and range from persistent headaches to the loss of ability to speak. Depending on which part of the brain is affected and the doctor’s ability to diagnose and treat the damage, an individual can suffer lifelong impairment.
