The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that every year, thousands of people are hospitalized due to complications suffered by a traumatic brain injury (TBI). These serious conditions can result in lifelong impairments for injured victims, including slowed cognitive processing, limitations in mobility, and chronic pain.
If you or a loved one suffered a TBI from an accident caused by another party’s negligence, a Baldwin personal injury lawyer can explain your legal options. Through an insurance settlement or lawsuit, you may be able to pursue the cost of various items associated with your medical condition. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we offer responsive legal care to those who have been injured by another party’s reckless or careless actions.
We can help you regardless of how your brain injury occurred.
However, some of our focus areas include:
- Vehicular accidents
- Slip and falls
- Athletic injury
- Product liability
- Dangerous drugs
- Workplace accidents
- Medical malpractice

Compensation for Brain Injuries
Your Baldwin brain injury lawyer will employ many services that are designed to help you get compensation for your accident-related expenses. What these services entail rest on the details of your case. For example, if the other party readily accepts financial responsibility for the accident, then your lawyer will not need to prepare your case for trial.
If your case is successful, you may be able to recover the cost of:
Emergency and Long-Term Medical Treatment
TBIs can last a lifetime. As such, you may never fully recover. Your legal team can consult with a medical professional to learn not only what medical expenses you have already incurred, but what you can reasonably expect in the future. Additionally, your legal team can pursue the cost of assistive devices and in-home care.
Total Lost Income
Due to your TBI, you may be unable to return to your preferred place of employment or continue working in your current field. In these situations, your Baldwin brain injury lawyer can pursue the cost of your lost wages, the income you would have made if you could continue working, and various employment benefits.

Pain and Suffering and Inconvenience
Your legal team can assign a monetary value to the emotional trauma you suffered as a result of your accident. How much you can pursue for pain and suffering depends on the details of your situation. Some insurance companies have mathematical formulas for calculating pain and suffering, while others rely on a “per diem” method. Either way, in most cases, the more severe a claimant’s injuries, the more they can seek for pain and suffering.
Filing a Wrongful Death Claim
Sometimes, brain injury victims cannot survive the extent of their affliction. If you lost a loved one who suffered a TBI, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. Under Florida Statute 95.11, you have two years from the date of their passing to do so.
If you are successful, you may be able to recover the cost of:
- Funeral, burial, and memorial expenses
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of parental guidance and household benefits
- Various end of life costs for the decedent
- Loss of income
You may be able to pursue the cost of expenses that we have not included here.
