A brain injury can change a person’s life in an instant. From memory loss and difficulty concentrating to long-term disability, the effects are often devastating not only for the victim but also for their family. At Kelleher Law, we fight for individuals in Naples and Fort Myers, Florida, and Roswell, Georgia who have suffered brain injuries due to negligence.
What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury disrupts normal brain function. TBIs are among the most serious injuries that can result from an accident and may require lifelong care.
- Common Causes of Brain Injuries
- Auto accidents (the leading cause of TBIs in the U.S.)
- Slip and fall accidents on unsafe property
- Workplace accidents, especially in construction or industrial jobs
- Sports injuries
- Violent assaults or physical trauma
- Symptoms of a Brain Injury
Brain injuries vary in severity, but even a “mild” concussion can have lasting effects. Symptoms may include:
- Headaches and dizziness
- Loss of consciousness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Memory problems or confusion
- Changes in mood, behavior, or sleep patterns
- Difficulty with speech or movement
Because symptoms may not appear right away, it’s critical to seek medical attention immediately after a head injury.
Compensation in Brain Injury Cases
Victims of brain injuries often face long hospital stays, rehabilitation, and permanent lifestyle changes. A legal claim can help recover compensation for:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Costs of long-term care or rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
