Hernando County Brain & Head Injury Lawyers

Even the mildest forms of head trauma can cause brain damage, making head injuries the most dangerous forms of personal injuries a person can experience. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1.7 million people suffer traumatic brain injuries every year. Of those injured, 52,000 are killed and 275,000 are hospitalized. It is estimated that 5.3 million Americans are living with disabilities associated with a TBI.

Understanding Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

A head injury is classified as any open or closed blow to the head that can include injury to the brain. TBIs are classified into three categories depending on the type of damage caused to the skull: closed head injuries, depressed skull fractures and compounded skull fractures. Along with these terms, you or your family members may have heard doctors describe your condition as post-concussion syndrome or destruction of brain tissue from laceration.

Common Symptoms of Mild and Severe TBIs

Severe TBIs can cause severe medical conditions such as:

• Brain Hemorrhage
• Contusion
• Subdural Hematomas
• Skull Fractures
• Seizure Disorders
• Amnesia
• Delusions
• Coma
• Death

Mild TBI symptoms can often be delayed or hard to recognize. Symptoms of mild TBIs can include:

• Poor Memory
• Poor Concentration
• Mood Swings
• Personality Changes
• Insomnia
• Blurred Vision
• Nausea
• Depression

Causes of Brain and Head Injuries

TBI injuries can be life-altering injuries for victims and their families. The Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers and Head Injury Attorneys at Whittel & Melton help victims of mild, moderate and severe TBI get the compensation they deserve. Unfortunately, TBIs are usually caused by some type of human intervention and/or reckless behavior. A skilled brain and head injury attorney is completely indispensable when it comes to recovering costs for brain and head injuries. These devastating circumstances create many complicated situations that require the attention and knowledge of a experienced Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney.

The Legal Process for TBI Claims

TBIs are often permanent and caused by the fault of another party. These injuries, whether they involve lasting paralysis or not, can be caused by a variety of factors including surgical errors, defective products, machinery failures, playground accidents, motorcycle or automotive collisions, construction site slip, trip and falls, chemical exposures or even birth injuries.
