People who are involved in a car crash are at risk of many different types of injuries. One of these is a brain injury, which comes with very serious impacts. Many people don’t realize that they don’t have to have a bump to the head to suffer a brain injury.

The impact of a motor vehicle crash is violent. It can cause the brain to slam into the skull, which can cause damage even if the person doesn’t hit their head on anything. It’s important to watch for signs of a brain injury if you’ve recently been in a car wreck.

How soon will a brain injury show up?

Brain injuries might appear at the time of the crash. They can also become evident in the days and weeks after the crash. You should pay close attention, looking for these signs of a brain injury if you’ve recently been involved in a wreck:

Confusion
Headache that doesn’t go away
Changes in vision or hearing
Trouble sleeping or sleeping a lot
Loss of consciousness
Challenges with memory
Difficulty communicating
Ringing in the ears

Victims of traumatic brain injuries require extensive medical care, which can be very costly. When the injury is the result of another party’s negligence, the victim may opt to pursue a claim for compensation. This enables them to attempt to recover the financial damages they’re dealing with because of the injury. Medical care is included, but other damages like missed wages, are also part of the claim. Florida law limits the time victims have to file these claims, so getting it taken care of quickly is imperative.

What Our Clients Say

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT

Sharon Elliott

When I first called their office I was able to speak to a paralegal and an attorney right away. They answered all of my questions. Throughout the process of my case the attorneys were in constant contact with me. I knew every step of the process. The staff and attorneys were very easy to talk to. I was extremely pleased with the outcome. My medical bills were high. They managed to get my doctors to write off a lot of the bills which saved me money. PHL is a great law firm. I highly recommend them to anyone. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

REAL ESTATE CLIENT

Amber Joye Rosen, Au.D.

I called numerous attorneys, Michael Labbee was not only the only attorney to call me back at all but called me the same day during his personal time. In the consult, he confirmed my rights as a party to this contract, went over all the ramifications the seller would incur by breaking our contract, and went over cost of litigation if that’s the route I needed to take. I felt more empowered at my options. He was not only knowledgeable and to the point, but kind (yet clearly willing to go to bat to people in their place for my rights!).

After my accident I contacted Tyler Hayden to get his advice on legal help and he said don’t worry, we can take care of this and that’s exactly what that firm did. From day one I felt comfortable talking to the lawyers and knew they had my best interest. I would 100% recommend Phillips, Hayden, & Labbee to handle your personal injury case. I’m glad I did.
