The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that over five million Americans suffer disabilities that are the direct result of brain injuries. The risk of such injuries is highest among men, adolescents, and those over the age of 75, with most elderly people suffering brain injuries in falls.
Such injuries range from mild concussions to serious brain damage. Among the most severe brain injuries in Miami, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often caused by a violent blow to the head, usually incurred in a car accident. Brain injuries can also be caused by:
- Lack of oxygen
- Toxic exposure
- Coronary, stroke, or aneurysm
- Electrical shock
However, some Miami brain injuries result from negligence. Auto accidents and mishaps caused by defective products or poor workplace safety practices can all lead to brain injury in Miami. Medical malpractice, such as a mistake made by a doctor or other health care provider, can also lead to brain damage. Where negligence is involved, a personal injury lawsuit may be brought to earn compensation and damages for the injured party.
