Our Proven Track Record of Recovering Damages for Brain Injury Victims
Brain injuries require immediate medical attention which typically results in costly medical bills that could lead to bankruptcy. According to the American Bankruptcy Institute, healthcare costs are the top cause of bankruptcy in the United States.
Whether your brain injury is because of a motor vehicle accident on Lynn Haven Parkway or another type of accident such as a motorcycle accident or a slip and fall, you can recover compensation for your losses if your injuries are someone else’s fault.
You may be able to claim the following types of damages:
- Medical bills: Brain injuries can require surgery, emergency care, and hospitalization along with a lengthy rehabilitation, all of which is costly.
- Lost income: A brain injury can force you to miss work for a short time or even permanently, causing you to miss out on your paycheck, vacation pay, sick pay, holiday pay, bonuses, and raises.
- Household services: After suffering a brain injury, you may need to hire someone else to perform maintenance, cleaning, and lawn care in and around your home.
- Home modifications: Your home may need to be more accommodating to your injury. You could have physical disabilities that require ramps, railings, or other equipment to help you adapt to your injury and aid mobility.
- Pain and suffering: You may suffer nightmares and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after an accident. You could experience emotional trauma and mental anguish. Your injuries could leave you with a physical or intellectual disability or disfigurement. You could even lose companionship from family or friends.
- Wrongful death: A severe brain injury can cause death, robbing you or those you love of guidance and income contributions. The decedent could also leave behind costly medical bills.

How Our Lynn Haven Brain Injury Attorneys Will Advocate for Your Compensation
Not every personal injury case is the same and neither is every client, so we personalize our legal representation to serve your needs. When you become a client of Ged Lawyers, you become part of our family. Our firm:
- Serves a diverse community: Florida is a diverse state, and we understand not everyone speaks English as a first language. That is why our legal team is multi-lingual and can offer assistance in Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Creole, Turkish, Arabic, and Greek.
- Offers evening and weekend appointments: We know that regular working hours can make it challenging to schedule time to speak with an attorney, so we are available for appointments in the evening and on the weekend because everyone should have access to legal representation.
- Provides mock trials: We will prepare your case for trial if that is what it takes to recover compensation for you. But we will also prepare you for court by providing a mock trial, so you get to experience what court is like before you walk into the real thing.
- Handles the insurance companies for you: Personal injury claims can mean getting the run-around from the insurance company. We will handle the insurance company on your behalf, so you do not have to.
- Requires no fees unless we win: Our brain injury lawyers serving Lynn Haven work on a contingency fee basis, so you do not pay attorney fees unless we win your case and recover compensation for you.
Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Brain Injury Lawsuits in Florida
According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, the deadline to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in Lynn Haven is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires you could be unable to recover compensation through the legal process.
Our Lynn Haven brain injury attorneys will meet the statute of limitations deadline in your case so you can have your day in court if taking your case to trial is necessary to recover the compensation you deserve.
Common Types of Brain Injuries Suffered by Accident Victims
You can suffer any one or more of the following injuries to the brain in an accident.
- Concussion
- Hematoma (bleeding on or in the brain)
- Penetration (an object penetrates the brain)
- Hemorrhage (uncontrollable bleeding in the brain
- Skull fracture
- Cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen)
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Contusion (bruising)
- Edema (swelling)
We strongly urge you to seek immediate medical attention even if you do not think you have a brain injury. Symptoms can take time to present. The sooner you see a doctor for an examination and receive medical treatment, the likelihood increases for a more positive outcome.
