Brain injuries are often catastrophic injuries, and you may need significant financial resources to pay for medical care and meet the challenges ahead. LMD Injury Lawyers, Accident Injury Attorneys can help. We represent traumatic brain injury victims in Spring Hill and throughout Hernando County, fighting to get them as much financial compensation as possible.
Our Spring Hill traumatic brain injury lawyers have more than 20 years of experience representing accident victims and have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for clients in a wide range of personal injury cases.
The Brain Injury Association of America explains that the brain is the body’s most vital organ. It controls your ability to walk, talk, eat, balance, and reason. It is responsible for regulating your body’s sleep/wake cycle, breathing, and heart rate. Its inner workings cause you to experience emotions and form memories.
But as important and powerful as your brain is, it also struggles at healing from injury. Because of this, individuals who have suffered a brain injury often struggle with long-lasting impairments, permanent disabilities, and high medical bills.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) entails damage to the brain resulting from a sudden blow or jolt to the head or body. While the injury is often classified as either mild, moderate, or severe, there is nothing “mild” about suffering an injury to the organ responsible for so many of the body’s most vital functions. Victims of TBI—no matter how “mild”—commonly suffer from impairments that include:
Severe brain injuries can be debilitating, life-altering injuries. At LMD Injury Lawyers, our Spring Hill lawyers take TBIs seriously because we understand their effect on our clients’ lives and what it will take to support them financially as they recover.
In addition to lasting impairments and disabilities, TBIs can also produce dangerous or even deadly complications, such as:
A traumatic brain injury can change every aspect of your life. Financially, it is a costly condition to treat—medical bills in the hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) are not uncommon. In addition, many impacts of a TBI may prevent you from working, damaging your earning capacity.
TBIs also frequently cause social disruptions for the victim by impairing impulse and emotional control. A severe head injury can make it challenging to maintain your friendships or participate in hobbies or activities you enjoy. And it can interfere with your family life, straining your most important relationships with your spouse, children, and other loved ones.
Contrary to popular belief, studies indicate that children do not necessarily fare better in recovering from traumatic brain injuries than adults do. Instead, the family of a child with a TBI often must “wait and see” how the injury impacts the child over time. TBIs can wreak havoc with a child’s learning, in particular. Children coping with a traumatic brain injury frequently need educational accommodations and support to maintain their development.
There are several ways that a person can suffer a traumatic brain injury in Spring Hill. Here is a look at some common scenarios that have led to our clients suffering from TBIs.
Spring Hill’s recent population growth has led to a notable increase in traffic on area roads, which has resulted in more traffic accidents. According to TBI data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), motor vehicle crashes are one of the country’s most common causes of traumatic brain injuries, and the risk is especially high for young people, bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists.
At LMD Injury Lawyers, we have years of experience representing victims of car, truck, bus, motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle accidents who have suffered TBIs and need help securing financial compensation.
CDC data also identifies falls as another common source of traumatic brain injuries, especially for Spring Hill’s older residents. Falls can happen anywhere, from nursing homes to supermarkets to backyards. However, no matter the location of a fall, a dangerous property condition is often to blame.
Owners and occupants of commercial, residential, and public property in Spring Hill may owe compensation to someone who falls and suffers a TBI on their premises because of a preventable hazard. A personal injury attorney at LMD Injury Lawyers can help you hold them accountable.
Traumatic brain injuries frequently afflict victims of violent criminal acts such as child abuse, domestic abuse, assaults, and gun violence. However, those injured victims often do not realize that they may receive financial compensation for their injuries.
At LMD Injury Lawyers, we know how to navigate the complicated and emotionally trying process of holding the perpetrator of a violent crime and others who reasonably should have prevented it financially responsible for the costs and difficulties of their TBI.
Members of the armed forces face a heightened risk of suffering TBIs in training exercises and while deployed in combat areas. Common causes of military service-related traumatic brain injuries include motor vehicle accidents, falls, and exposure to explosive blasts.
According to the CDC, more than 430,000 U.S. service members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries in the past two decades, with the symptoms of many of these injuries co-mingling with other health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
The attorneys and legal professionals at LMD Injury Lawyers believe active-duty soldiers and veterans deserve full compensation for injuries sustained in connection with their service and fight to ensure they get it.
For years, the public treated concussions (a form of TBI) in high-impact sports as no big deal. Increasingly, however, research has shown that traumatic brain injuries pose a serious risk to athletes of all ages in a wide variety of sports, including football, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and gymnastics, to name just a few.
According to VeryWellHealth, more than 130,000 children under 18 experience sports-related head trauma each year in the U.S. The concussions these athletes suffer can cause lasting impairments and disruptions in their lives.
At LMD Injury Lawyers, we understand what it takes to identify when sports-related TBIs should not have happened or when coaches or game officials failed to follow concussion protocols. If we find that evidence, we know how to hold the parties at fault accountable to injured athletes.
If you or your loved one suffered a Spring Hill traumatic brain injury in an accident caused by someone else’s careless or reckless actions, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses. The team at LMD Injury Lawyers wants to help you explore your options.
Generally speaking, anyone whose unreasonably dangerous decisions or actions led to your injury may owe you monetary damages for the harm you have suffered. Other parties with a legal duty to answer for an at-fault individual’s conduct might also be liable for your injuries and losses. At LMD Injury Lawyers, we investigate your case carefully to identify everyone who may have an obligation under Florida law to pay you compensation. Those parties might include, for example:
