Traumatic Spine and Brain Injury Attorney

Orlando Expert Legal Representation for your Injuries

Brain and spinal cord injuries occur when force or trauma damages these structures and causes them to improperly function. More specifically, a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a specific injury type that is caused by an outside force upon the head and neck areas. Depending on the circumstances of the injury and which area(s) is affected, a person can experience very different effects. Mild symptoms commonly present such as getting tired easily, experiencing slowed thinking and responding, or faint headaches are witnessed in these patients. When it comes to severe symptoms, such as memory loss, balance problems, mood swings, or even unconsciousness will unexpectedly bring a person’s life to a screeching halt. In addition to physical pain and emotional anguish, victims of brain and spinal cord injuries are often left inundated with extremely high medical and rehabilitative expenses. If you or a loved one are suffering from any of the above, it’s important to contact our spine and brain injury attorney who has experience handling a variety of brain injury cases.

What Causes Spine and Brain Injuries?

Spinal cord and brain injuries are caused by many different factors, due to the broad nature of injury just requiring force or trauma. Additionally, when looking at TBI the damage is further classified by the onset of injury. The first is considered to be “primary”, meaning the damage is immediate. The other is known as “secondary”, meaning the symptoms can occur gradually over the course of hours, days, or weeks after impact. The most common that we see are motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) such as car, motorcycle, trucking, or pedestrian accidents. However, our team at the Martindale Law Group has successfully represented individuals who sustained these injuries as the result of the other following factors:

Slip and Fall Accidents
Premises Liability
Aggravated Assault & Battery
Sports Accidents
Boating Accidents
Defective/Dangerous Products
Drowning Accidents
Aircraft Accidents
Medical Malpractice
Dangerous Prescription Drugs

Common Symptoms We See as Your Spine and Brain Injury Attorney

As mentioned previously, a TBI is typically classified as primary or secondary, in a temporal, or time-related, sense. Depending on the amount of time that passes, more symptoms may arise for victims; they can become intermittent, or some may resolve on their own. Signs and symptoms can be further categorized as physical, cognitive, behavioral, and perceptual. Let’s expand on some of the common experiences of brain injury victims after the initial trauma:

Excessive headaches or migraines
Difficulty reasoning, thinking, or analyzing
Memory Loss
Nausea or Vomiting
Loss of sensations (hearing, vision, touch, smell)
Ringing in the ears
Blurred or double vision
Loss of coordination
Difficulty communicating thoughts and ideas

Speech problems
Dizziness or vertigo
Confusion or disorientation
Behavioral changes/Mood swings

Psychosis
Seizures or convulsions

Death

Spinal cord injuries occur when one or more of the vertebrae in the spine become fractured, dislocated, or damaged. Because the spinal cord is involved in almost all bodily movement, this injury is excruciating and debilitating. In fact, many spinal cord injuries are difficult to overcome and often result in permanent injury. At Martindale Law Group, we have represented individuals who experienced the following symptoms as a result of a spinal cord injury:

Tingling/numbness
Nerve damage
Loss of feeling or sensation
Loss of motor functions/Paralysis
Loss of the ability to make voluntary movements
