Traumatic Head Injuries in Miami Florida

Victims of Doctor Brain Injury Law Firm

What happens if you receive improper treatment for a brain injury?

As the phrase implies, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) result from sudden trauma to the head. While trauma can be caused by a variety of factors, in the U.S. the primary causes are the following:

• Transportation accidents
• Injury from weapons in accidents and assaults
• Serious falls

Other TBI causes include the following:

• Strokes
• Unattended infections
• Improper treatment of patients during childbirth (mother and child)
• Improper treatment while patients are under anesthesia

Over 1.4 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury—

• 50,000 deaths
• 200,000 needing hospitalization and/or brain injury treatment

Unfortunately, the reality is that many victims experience permanent loss of body functions. In fact, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are 5.3 million people in the U.S. suffering from a TBI who will have life-long effects, creating physical, emotional, and financial challenges of enormous and possibly catastrophic consequences.

The medical malpractice attorneys of Glinn & Somera focus on what happens after trauma occurs. It is our job to help you determine if the medical treatment you received may have caused the injury and/or made it worse because of improper care.

All of the medical conditions associated with severe brain injuries are described with complicated words that have frightening meanings and repercussions. They include the following:

• Hemiparesis: weakness or paralysis in one half of the body
• Aphasia: inability to process and use language, usually caused by a cerebral cortex injury
• Quadraparesis: partial loss of function which affects all four areas of the body

Experience counts
