Traumatic Brain Injuries From Florida Motor Vehicle Accidents
Any accident, whether car, truck, tractor-trailer, pedestrian or bicycle can result in brain injuries to the victims. Brain injuries can be easy to diagnose, for instance when a victim is unconscious or there are clear signs of trauma to the head. Other brain injuries, however, are much more subtle, hidden or not readily apparent, but the injury still has the capacity to be catastrophic and even fatal.
My name is Walter L. "J.R." Grantham, Jr., and I understand the physical and psychological impact that a brain injury can have on an accident victim and his or her family. When you suffer a catastrophic brain injury, you need an experienced attorney who not only has the legal knowledge and ability to represent you, but who is willing to invest the time and resources to help you through this type of tragic injury. As a personal injury lawyer who is familiar with the impact that a brain injury will have on a person and family, I work hard to help my clients pursue their case and pursue the damages they are entitled to for this type of injury.
Causes and Effects of Traumatic Brain Injuries
Brain injuries are often associated with motor vehicle accidents caused by negligent or careless drivers. I have represented clients in St. Petersburg, Tampa and the surrounding communities in Florida after car, truck, 18-wheeler, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents. The effects of a traumatic brain injury can range from mild to severe and can result in problems such as:
- Memory loss
- Depression
- Inability to concentrate
- Loss of certain bodily functions
- Coma and wrongful death
Closed head injuries, involving torn blood vessels and brain bleeding, can result in pressure on the brain that can have traumatic results if medical attention is not sought in a timely manner. Additionally, even when medical attention is timely, a closed-head injury or subdural hematoma can have tragic permanent results. These can be minor, or major resulting in the need for a life-care plan or even directly resulting in death. At my firm, we will thoroughly prepare your case, and pursue all levels of damages in order to pursue the results to which you are entitled.
