Your brain is complex and delicate, yet incredibly adept at healing itself after a minor injury. Unfortunately, many people who suffer a moderate-to-severe concussion or penetrative brain injury, may never fully recover. From car or semi-truck collisions to falls from heights, sports accidents, or even acts of violence, many brain injuries are preventable. The victim, and often their family, suffer due to someone else’s negligence. If you or someone you love suffered a brain injury in an incident, they didn’t cause, our Lake Worth, FL, brain injury lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve. Warner & Fitzmartin – Personal Injury Lawyers delivers tenacious legal representation and compassionate support for injured victims and their families. We invite you to call us to speak with a member of our legal team today.

Brain Injuries Are Serious And Life-Changing

Brain injuries fall into three categories:

  • Traumatic: A blow to the head causes the brain to hit the interior of the skull, causing the tissue to tear, swell, and bleed
  • Penetrative: A foreign object penetrates the skull, damaging the brain tissue
  • Hypoxic/Anoxic: Partial or total lack of oxygen delivered to the brain causes tissue damage and cell death

Any of these brain injuries can happen in many situations. For the victim and their family, though, the result is the same: The victim’s life, cognitive and physical abilities, and level of independence are significantly diminished.

With serious brain damage comes a loss of independence; some victims may need help for the smallest of tasks, like activities of daily living and mobility. A family member may be thrust into a caregiver role for which they are ill-equipped, causing strain on the family dynamic and relationships. And, if the victim is the primary wage-earner for their family, the family could be in dire financial condition.

With medical bills and the cost of caregiver services mounting and much less income coming into the house, what can you do? Who can help you? Our Lake Worth brain injury lawyer can analyze the incident that caused the brain injury and explain your options to take legal action. A lawsuit for compensatory damages can cover all the medical and personal care that your loved one requires, as well as compensate them for their loss of wages and earning potential.
