Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are among the most severe forms of personal injury. Some traumatic brain injuries result in a temporary reduction of brain function that impacts a victim’s day-to-day routines. In other cases, these injuries permanently alter a victim’s ability to live life.
If you or a loved one suffered a traumatic brain injury in Sarasota or the surrounding areas, you might be owed financial compensation to cover your medical bills and other damages. A Sarasota traumatic brain injury lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can work with you to develop a case that defends your legal position.

Pursuing Treatment and Covering Medical Expenses for Traumatic Brain Injuries
According to research data collected and presented by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), there were over 1 million traumatic brain injury-related inpatient stays and treat-and-release emergency department visits in 2017 alone. While traumatic brain injuries can be quite severe in their outcomes, they remain a common injury. Car accidents and similar incidents often cause trauma to the head, brain, and neck.
If you or a loved one were part of an accident and you hit your head, it is important to seek prompt medical care. Even if you feel that you were unharmed, a closer medical inspection may reveal the presence of a traumatic brain injury. Medical professionals have a variety of treatment methods they use to address traumatic brain injuries. However, you must seek medical attention to get started on a treatment plan.
When you have a traumatic brain injury attorney from our firm working on your behalf, they will fight to recover any funds that you may be owed to cover the costs of your medical bills and similar expenses.
Treatment plans for TBIs vary widely depending on the severity of the injury and other key factors. However, most treatment plans are costly and take significant time and financial resources to pursue. Many victims fear this path as they may be uncertain as to how they will pay for treatment.
Recoverable Damages in a Traumatic Brain Injury Case
If another party was responsible for your traumatic brain injury, then you may be eligible to collect payments that cover the costs of your treatments and similar expenses. You may collect some forms of recoverable damages that seek to cover the following costs and treatments:
- X-rays, CAT scans, and imaging tests
- Surgeries and operations
- Emergency medical care and transportation
- Prescription medications
- Lost income
- Assistive medical devices
- Ongoing care, physical therapy, and rehabilitation programs
- Loss of the ability to enjoy life
- Loss of consortium
A Sarasota traumatic brain injury lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will consider these medical expenses and others in their effort to determine your eligibility for recoverable damages.
Our team of attorneys is here to stand up and lead the fight for justice on your behalf. We will examine the law, collect critical pieces of evidence, and investigate the incident that caused your injury. From there, we will communicate with other parties connected to your case and negotiate for any recoverable damages that you may be entitled to after an incident.

Retaining a TBI Lawyer to Construct Your Case
As with any personal injury case, you must be aware that some specific federal, state and local laws may impact your situation. Before you even hire a lawyer, some state-specific laws may affect you. For example, the statute of limitations found in Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a) shows that those who suffer a personal injury in an incident in Florida have a limited time to take legal action.
You have the right to pursue justice after an accident that results in a personal injury, but a lawyer from our firm will only be able to help you if you contact them within the statute of limitations set by the state authorities. Once you connect with our legal team, we will get to work on investigating the source of the incident that caused your traumatic brain injury.
Your lawyer may collect various forms of evidence to assist them, including the following:
- Photos taken at the scene of the accident
- Video footage from surveillance cameras and dashboard cameras
- Cellphone records
- Police reports
- Witness interviews
In this process, your lawyer will handle all conversations with other parties, insurance companies, healthcare professionals, law enforcement entities, and anyone else related to your case. You can expect consistent updates that will keep you informed on your case’s status and all relevant information regarding any financial compensation that you may be owed.
