Causes of brain injuries in Doral

It is estimated that more than 200,000 people in Florida are living with a disability related to a brain injury, and that number could rise to 260,000 in the next few years. In 2005, 93,000 brain injuries occurred in Florida, resulting in 3,900 deaths and 17,500 hospitalizations.

The brain is well protected in the skull. However, he is prone to injury in certain situations. People can be injured in the following ways:

• Trauma.Any trauma of sufficient force to the head or body can cause the brain to shift within the skull and impinge on its inner surface. Car accidents, slips and falls, and sports accidents can cause enough trauma to disrupt brain function.
• Penetration.If an object enters the skull, it can damage brain tissue directly. A typical example is a gunshot wound to the head.
• lack of oxygen.The brain needs oxygen to function properly, and when it is deprived of oxygen, brain cells begin to die. This condition can occur any time a person stops breathing, such as during a drowning incident.

As you can see, many brain injuries can occur in accidents or incidents caused by another party's negligence. In these circumstances, Florida law generally allows victims to file a claim and seek compensation to cover their medical bills, ongoing care costs, lost income, and more. Evidence of this damage is the basis of a personal injury claim.

Consequences of brain injuries

The brain is central to the body's nervous system, controlling our body movements as well as thoughts and emotions. Not surprisingly, brain injuries can disrupt your normal physical and mental functioning to such an extent that some victims require 24-hour monitoring or care. Consider the following consequences:

• communication problems.A person may not be able to speak or understand language after a brain injury.
• poor memory.A person with a brain injury often suffers from short-term or "working" memory loss.
• visual problems.A brain injury can affect your ability to recognize certain shapes or objects, including human faces.
• reduced motivation.Brain injuries can produce a feeling of lethargy.
• Limited ability to reason.You may not be able to understand the rules or think logically after TBI.
• behavior changes.People with brain injuries sometimes show reduced impulse control and other personality changes. Victims may experience mood swings, depression, anxiety, and anger. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is also common.
• Impaired mobility.Victims may lose the ability to move parts of their body or experience a general loss of coordination or balance. The limbs may become stiff or spastic.
• sensory deprivation.After a brain injury, you may notice changes in your ability to hear, see, touch, or taste.

Each brain injury affects patients differently, so you may only notice some or all of these symptoms. With a minor brain injury, your problems may only be temporary. However, the degree of severity depends on circumstances, including age and general health, and the part of the brain affected.

Treatments for brain injuries in Doral

Brain injury is a serious and emerging condition. If paramedics attending an accident scene suspect a traumatic brain injury or other brain involvement, they will likely recommend evacuation to the nearest hospital. In some cases an airlift may be required. The sooner a doctor can assess and diagnose this type of injury, the better.

Depending on the brain injury, some people may need surgery to remove blood clots or relieve pressure on the brain. This measure can help prevent injuries from getting worse with swelling, bleeding, and other complications. People with moderate to severe brain injuries are often taken to the emergency room so they can be conceivedTreatmentto stabilize your condition, including:

• Being on a ventilator to help you breathe
• Receiving an IV for fluids and medication
• Heart function monitoring with an EKG machine
• Monitoring brain function with an EEG machine
• Assess your memory, level of consciousness and other important markers
• Monitoring intracranial pressure to prevent further injury

Victims of severe brain injuries may also need surgery to relieve pressure or stop bleeding in the skull. Once a patient is stabilized and discharged from the emergency room, they can be transferred to the intensive care unit or trauma room. A brain injury victim often transitions to step-down treatment that provides interim care before being fully discharged from the hospital.

However, most of your treatment will be rehabilitation as you try to train your mind and body to relearn tasks that previously came easily to you. Depending on the severity of the injury and the skills lost, rehabilitation may be inpatient or outpatient. After a brain injury, you may need to plan for the followingRehabilitation:

• Speech and language therapy to regain communication skills
• Occupational therapy to help you relearn daily living chores like dressing and brushing your teeth
• Physiotherapy to improve your mobility and balance
• Psychiatric care to help you cope with the emotional and mental effects of a traumatic brain injury

Therapy can be temporary or long-term. Some brain injury patients make a full recovery, while others need help for the rest of their lives. Our team will work with medical experts to determine the level of care you need and the cost of that continued care for as long as it is needed.

Many of our clients in the brain injury legal department require specialized treatment for their injuries. Some of the best places for brain injury treatment in Doral include the University of Miami Health System, the Miami Neuroscience Institute, the Christien E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center, and the Children's Concussion Clinic at Children's Hospital Nicklaus.

Hold someone accountable for your brain injury

Brain injury victims often come to us confused about what to do and worried about the future. In particular, these injuries often cause increasing medical costs while the victim is also disabled. Fortunately, compensation is available if your attorney at Dolman Law Group can show that someone is legally responsible for your injury.

In some cases, you can bring a lawsuit against someone for intentionally hurting them. In other cases, the person responsible did not want to hurt you. Rather, they were negligent, and that negligence caused your injury. Common examples are:

• A distracted driver collides with you
• A boatman who is not looking where he is going and hits a wake causing you to hit your head or fall overboard
• A dive company that doesn't check their equipment, resulting in malfunctions and a near-drowning.
• An anesthetist does not provide enough oxygen during surgery
• A doctor who delivers a baby incorrectly, reducing the flow of oxygen to the baby's brain.

In these and similar cases, you can file a negligence lawsuit and, if successful, receive compensation. The key will be to prove that the defendant did not exercise due care due to the circumstances, which can be a complex analysis requiring expert opinion and testimony. Our attorneys know how to build a strong case to prove the negligence and liability of the other party or parties.

We also have the resources and legal knowledge to handle these cases, whether it is to negotiate a fair settlement with the guilty party's insurance company or to prepare a lawsuit and represent our client before a judge and jury. May:

• Investigate what happened and gather evidence.
• Talk to your medical team to get an idea of ​​your condition and prognosis
• Prove negligence and liability.
• Evaluate the case, including current and future care needs
• Look for economic and non-economic damage
• Negotiate with the insurer
• Manage communication and correspondence with all stakeholders.
• File a personal injury claim according to state time limits
• Represent in a jury trial if necessary

We don't charge anything up front, by the hour or out of pocket. We collect attorneys' fees only after receipt of the insurance settlement check or jury verdict, and our fees are an agreed percentage of that total recovery.

What our customers have to say:

“My experience with this law firm was extremely pleasant. After being involved in an accident that injured me, I was able to get treatment from the best doctors in the area. I was fortunate to have a team to help me plan my appointments, accommodating both my full-time work schedule and my demanding grad school schedule. Even after moving out of state to New York, I was able to stay with this law firm and continue treatment in South Florida while continuing to remain under the care of the doctors I felt most comfortable with. Although I have suffered injuries and struggled in that regard, the team here were able to ensure that I could continue working and keep up with grad school as I moved to a new state.”
