Even a mild concussion can have lasting health repercussions; more severe head trauma often causes permanent brain damage. Victims may have difficulty with physical activities, trouble remembering important things, or suffer significant personality changes. The medical treatment for brain injuries can be costly, especially for people who require ongoing care. If your brain injury was caused by another party’s negligence, you have the right to demand that they compensate you for all your medical expenses and other losses. Our Fort Lauderdale, FL brain injury lawyer can help you. Call The Andres Lopez Law Firm today to learn more.
A brain injury can affect every aspect of your life, and the damage often affects the entire family unit. A family member may be thrust into a caregiver role for which they are ill-equipped, or your family may be facing financial straits because you can no longer work, or have to remain out of work for a long time to heal.
The long-term treatment for a brain injury is often quiet rest. While the brain is quite good at healing itself, the healing process may take some time, which means you may be unable to work or otherwise contribute to your household. Bills stack up, including medical bills, and this stress can impact your recovery. Our Fort Lauderdale brain injury lawyer can help you get the money you need for lost wages, medical care, and other material losses, alleviating your financial burdens.
You have the right, under Florida law, to demand full and fair compensation from the at-fault person or entity. As your legal advocate, we handle all the matters necessary to litigate your claim, starting with building a strong, evidence-based case on your behalf and securing the testimony of medical and industry experts to support our position. Our firm has access to medical experts who can testify about the extent of your medical needs and confirm that the defendant caused your accident. To win your case, we must prove this causation.
Brain injury cases can quickly get complex, especially if the suit calls for future medical damages. As your Fort Lauderdale brain injury lawyer, we handle all the legal paperwork for your case, providing support and timely advice. We negotiate a fair settlement with the other party or, if necessary, initiate litigation to ensure you get the compensation you need.
