South Florida Brain Injury Attorneys

Common Types of TBI

Traumatic brain injuries come in many forms, including:

• Concussions: The most common type of brain injury, often caused by falls, sports accidents, or car crashes.
• Contusions: Bruising of the brain tissue, usually caused by direct impact.
• Coup-Contrecoup Injuries: Damage to both sides of the brain when the force of impact causes the brain to hit the opposite side of the skull.
• Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI): A severe injury caused by violent rotational forces, often resulting in widespread brain damage.
• Penetrating Brain Injuries: Caused by objects piercing the skull, often leading to severe and permanent impairment.
• Hemorrhages and Hematomas: Uncontrolled bleeding in or around the brain that can quickly become life-threatening.

Each type of injury requires its own medical treatment plan, and our team works with specialists to accurately assess damages for your claim.

Brain Injury Symptoms

Symptoms of a TBI vary depending on the severity, but common indicators include:

Physical symptoms:

• Loss of consciousness, even briefly
• Headaches
• Dizziness or balance problems
• Nausea or vomiting
• Vision changes
• Fatigue or sleep disturbances

Cognitive symptoms:

• Memory loss
• Difficulty concentrating
• Confusion or disorientation
• Slowed thinking

Emotional or behavioral symptoms:

• Mood swings
• Increased irritability
• Anxiety or depression
• Personality changes

Some symptoms appear immediately, while others may take days or weeks to develop. Because delayed symptoms are common, medical monitoring is essential.

Long-Term Impact of Brain Injuries

The long-term consequences of a TBI can be profound and often permanent. Victims may experience:

• Chronic headaches
• Difficulty with speech or mobility
• Sensory impairments (vision, hearing, smell)
• Memory loss or cognitive decline
• Emotional instability
• Difficulty returning to work
• Dependency on long-term care or support

A brain injury may also affect relationships, independence, and overall quality of life. Because these damages are often lifelong, your attorney must accurately calculate present and future financial needs. At The South Florida Injury Law Firm, we fight for compensation that reflects the true scope of your injuries.
