A brain injury, or a traumatic brain injury (TBI), is a sudden injury to the brain that is caused by impact or force to the head. Brain injuries are often unexpected and can leave the sufferer with irreversible, life-altering symptoms and side effects. Those who sustain brain injuries are likely to face numerous physical, mental, and emotional adversities, which can make them feel devastated or even hopeless.
People who have brain injuries are likely to experience a multitude of complications. Brain injuries are extremely difficult to contend with and medically treat because conditions associated with these injuries can take time to develop or onset quite suddenly. This is why most brain injury victims need constant, ongoing medical supervision and treatment. Without appropriate medical care, brain injury victims may never recover from the symptoms or side effects their injuries have caused.
If you or a loved one suffered a TBI in an accident caused by another person’s misconduct, contact an experienced Tampa brain injury attorney to seek compensation. A dedicated catastrophic injury attorney from Distasio Law Firm could help you recover for your losses.
