There are many ways a person could sustain a TBI. However, most often, as Sarasota lawyers, our clients with TBI were involved in a major car accident. It is not uncommon for people to sustain head trauma during sports accidents, slips and falls, and other similar incidents. A TBI occurs when the brain collides with the inside of a person’s skull due to impact, causing bruising, bleeding, or tearing. In the most extreme cases, a person’s skull can be fractured, exposing their brain to damage.
The long-term impact of a brain injury can be concerning. While some head injuries resolve quickly, more severe cases can cause long-term risks and cognitive impairments like seizures, memory loss, nerve damage, blood clots, stroke, and infections of the brain. Some people with TBI sustain physical complications like paralysis. As more time passes, the likelihood of these complications decreases, but the effects of a head injury can follow someone for years. When a TBI requires long-term care, the person must obtain the compensation they need to afford treatment.
According to Florida’s modified comparative negligence system, an injured person cannot recover compensation if they are more than 50 percent responsible for causing their injuries. Those who are less than 50 percent at fault can recover compensation but are not entitled to total damages. Their monetary award will be reduced based on their percentage of fault. Depending on the case, a judge or jury decides the parties’ respective share of the blame.
After a traumatic head injury, your life can change forever. It can impact your daily routine, personal relationships, and future goals. When you hire our Sarasota traumatic brain injury lawyers to represent you, we will work hard to support you through this difficult time.

We understand how personal injury accidents and similar tragedies can impact families.
