Pursuing Compensation for Injuries Caused by Negligence
Brain injuries affect all aspects of how a body functions, from the physical to the mental to the emotional. Because of the fundamentally important role the brain plays in functionality, even your mood and personality can be affected if you sustain a brain injury. Brain injuries can develop as a result of either open head wounds, where the skull is split, or closed head wounds where the skull remains intact but the brain is bruised or deprived of oxygen. Visit our Port St Lucie injury lawyer and let us help you get started with a free consultation. Don’t take the first check from the insurance company. Give us a call at (772) 200-4696 or visit our location at 507 NW Lake Whitney Pl, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986.
Regardless of the underlying cause, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that brain injuries are a contributing factor in around one-third of all deaths caused by injury in the United States. Those who survive a brain injury may have a long recovery road ahead of them as they relearn to do basic life tasks. In some cases a brain injury is never going to get better, while in others the patient’s health may improve over time and the symptoms of the injury may lessen or disappear. Some of the common symptoms that a person may exhibit after a brain injury include:
- Confusion
- Loss of consciousness and/or difficulty waking up
- Change in mood or personality
- Short-term memory loss
- Blindness, deafness or ringing in the ears
- Cognitive impairments
- Depression or anxiety
The specifics of the symptoms are going to vary depending upon how bad the brain injury was and what part of the brain it affected. In any case, however, if someone was responsible for causing the brain injuries, you can take legal action with the help of a Port St. Lucie brain injury lawyer.
Determining Responsibility in a Brain Injury Case
Those responsible for causing a brain injury must pay for costs and losses, including pain and suffering. There are a number of ways in which an individual or company could cause and become responsible for a brain injury, including:
- Individuals who cause car accidents through negligent driving or breaking safety laws such as speed limit regulations
- Homeowners, government agencies, businesses or other property owners who fail to maintain their property, leading to a visitor falling and suffering a brain injury
- Nursing homes who fail to provide supervision to their residents, leading to a fall and resulting brain injury
In these and many other situations, a Port St. Lucie brain injury attorney can help injured victims or surviving family members make a claim for brain injury compensation against whoever caused the harm.

A personal injury can occur in a variety of ways, but almost all have the same results in common. Suddenly, your life is disrupted and possibly jeopardized physically, emotionally, and financially by an accident or incident which could have been prevented.
Proven Personal Injury Lawyers
A fair settlement is not what you can expect to receive from the insurance company. Their goal is to reduce payouts on claims so they can remain highly profitable. Our proven and committed legal team understands the tactics these companies regularly use to pay claimants as little as possible. We routinely battle their schemes in and out of court, and have developed effective methods for doing so.
With a legal team of more than 30 lawyers and more than 140 staff, including investigators and other assistants, we have the resources needed to get the job done efficiently. You can bring your personal injury case to us with confidence, knowing you will pay nothing until we recover the compensation you deserve. Throughout the entire case, we will be by your side, providing the guidance you need.
