Gainesville, Ocala & Bushnell Brain Injury Attorney
Florida Personal Injury and Accident Lawyer
A brain injury is often considered a catastrophic injury because of the effects it can have upon the victim’s memory, motor skills, thinking abilities and nervous systems. A person who has experienced a traumatic brain injury may require constant medical attention for the remainder of his or her life.
Robert G. Whittel is an experienced personal injury lawyer who understands how a brain injury can affect a person. By providing clients throughout Gainesville, Ocala and Bushnell, Florida with excellent legal representation throughout every step of their personal injury claims, attorney Whittel and his staff offer you a better, more positive outlook on life from this point forward. Although a settlement or compensation cannot turn back the clock and prevent an injury or accident from occurring, it can help pay for expensive medical treatments and possibly a breakthrough procedure not normally covered by insurance that could serve to restore or improve brain function.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can be caused by a seemingly minor impact or accident. Auto accidents, slip and fall injuries and sports injuries are all common causes of brain injuries. Head impact can cause swelling, bruising, fractures and bleeding around the brain – and any of these injuries, when severe enough, can cause a person to require extensive medical care and assisted living.
It may be that another person was responsible for the brain injuries that you or a loved one received. When this is the case, you may be able to take legal action and obtain compensation for the losses you have suffered. This includes:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages, from being unable to work
- Emotional or mental pain and anguish
Having Gainesville brain injury attorney Robert G. Whittel on your side means that you will be able to focus on healing rather than on attempting to get a settlement from an uncooperative insurance company. Attorney Whittel has the experience needed in order to provide accurate and necessary information to the insurance companies involved, giving you the greatest chance of receiving a just settlement out of court.
