One serious bump to the head can have a lasting impact on your brain function. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are more common than many perceive, and they often arise from personal injury situations where someone else is at fault.
If you or a loved one suffered a TBI because of someone else’s negligence, you can get compensation to cover your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
The experienced brain injury lawyers at Wagner, McLaughlin & Whittemore can help you navigate a legal claim.

It can be hard to know what to do after a personal injury. You will have many medical appointments, confusing tests, and specialist consultations after a TBI. A lawyer can guide you through all of this and determine if a traumatic brain injury lawsuit is an appropriate next step.
If you do decide to pursue a traumatic brain injury lawsuit, your attorney can help you gather important evidence, determine all the parties who are at fault for your injuries, and assess your damages.
Your lawyer can also review the available insurance policies and negotiate with insurance carriers to get you the best outcome possible.
Our personal injury law firm is based in Tampa, but we have successfully helped TBI victims throughout the state of Florida, including in the following cities:
Filing a successful brain injury lawsuit requires meeting several key elements. You must prove that the other party was negligent and that you sustained damages and injuries or that some defective product caused your injury.
Proving negligence in a TBI case is similar to any other personal injury claim. You must show that the other party failed to use reasonable care, which is what any reasonable individual would do in similar circumstances.
That’s why it’s important to work closely with an experienced brain injury lawyer who can help you prove liability and negligence.
Traumatic brain injuries involve significant medical bills and permanent injuries that affect the victim’s life forever. In a TBI case, you can get compensation for economic as well as non-economic damages.
Economic damages are tangible losses that can be documented and have a clear monetary value. They include some of the following:
Non-economic damages are awarded in lawsuits to compensate a victim for intangible losses that are not directly linked to out-of-pocket expenses. They include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental anguish.
However, in Florida, you must have a permanent injury to recover non-economic losses if the injury occurs in a car crash.
Traumatic brain injuries can result in a lot of confusion. Filing a claim can be complex, especially while you are focused on recovering mentally and physically. You shouldn’t deal with this situation alone. Let us handle the legal issues.
At WMW, our experienced Tampa brain injury attorneys will compassionately stand beside you and fight for your right to get the compensation you deserve.
