Brain Injury
Brain injuries can be devastating to the injured person and that person’s family. The medical expenses and costs of treatment associated with traumatic brain injury in the South Florida area are often exorbitant and can severely impact other areas of the victim’s life. When a brain injury is caused by the negligence of another, compensation can often be secured to cover the high cost of treatment and care as well as for other losses experienced by the victim and the victim’s family. At Law Offices Cytryn and Velazquez, P.A., most traumatic brain injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis which means you don’t pay costs or fees if we don’t secure a recovery in your favor.

Approximately 250,000 people suffer brain injuries severe enough to require hospitalization each year in the United States. Almost 99,000 of those people hospitalized suffer some lasting disability due to the traumatic brain injury. Unfortunately, nearly 50,000 people die each year as a result of a brain injury. The Center for Disease Control estimates medical costs and other indirect costs from traumatic brain injury total nearly $60 billion a year in the United States.
Many people that suffer from a traumatic brain injury have long-term or lifelong medical and therapeutic needs. Many sufferers cannot return to work, suffer from prolonged anxiety and depression, have difficulty with memory and problem solving, and have inconsistent temperaments. A severe traumatic brain injury can affect thinking, language, learning, emotions, behavior, and sensation. Often brain injury can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
