Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) can have a devastating impact on your life, affecting everything from memory and mobility to personality, emotions, and daily function. At Pezon Law, we understand how life-changing these injuries can be — and we’re here to help you fight for the care, support, and compensation you need to move forward. Whether your injury resulted from a car crash, fall, workplace incident, or assault, we will guide you through every step of the legal process with compassion and experience.

A Traumatic Brain Injury occurs when a sudden jolt, blow, or penetrating injury disrupts the brain’s normal function. TBIs range from mild (such as a concussion) to severe, and symptoms may appear immediately or worsen over time. Many people with brain injuries struggle with physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms for months or even years.

Types of Brain Injuries We Handle

Concussion and Post-Concussion Syndrome

Even “mild” concussions can cause long-term problems like chronic headaches, memory issues, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. We take these injuries seriously and work with your doctors to build strong medical documentation.

Moderate to Severe Brain Trauma

These injuries can result in permanent disability, requiring lifelong care. They may be caused by car accidents, falls, workplace incidents, or blunt force trauma. Symptoms often include loss of consciousness, brain bleeding, or significant cognitive decline.

Memory Loss and Cognitive Impairments

TBIs often impact short-term memory, problem-solving, speech, and emotional regulation. We fight to ensure your compensation reflects the full extent of these life-altering effects.

Diffuse Axonal Injuries (DAI)

One of the most serious types of TBIs, DAI occurs when the brain rapidly shifts inside the skull. It can lead to coma or long-term unconsciousness.

Second-Impact Syndrome

Occurs when a second concussion is sustained before the first one has healed — common in sports or repeat accidents and often fatal if untreated.

FAQs

  • Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can include headaches, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, memory loss, sleep issues, and mood swings. Only a medical professional can provide a diagnosis, usually through neurological exams and imaging tests like CT or MRI scans.

  • Car accidents, falls, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian injuries, sports injuries, assaults, and construction site accidents are among the most common causes of TBIs.

  • They can be complex, especially if symptoms aren’t immediately obvious. However, with thorough medical documentation and legal expertise, Pezon Law builds compelling cases that clearly show the connection between the injury and the negligent act.

  • In most personal injury cases, Florida law allows two years from the date of injury to file a claim. However, time is critical — especially with TBIs, which require detailed medical documentation and expert analysis.

  • You may be eligible to recover for medical expenses (past and future), lost income, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and the need for lifelong care. In severe cases, punitive damages may apply.
