Making decisions in such a situation can be overwhelming. Even knowing what your rights are - and what expenses you deserve to be compensated for - can be confusing if you or a loved one sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a motorcycle crash. That's why it's important to talk with an attorney as soon as possible.
Our Florida motorcycle accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Brent C. Miller, P.A. can help you every step of the way. We know how the legal system works in Central Florida, and we have the case results to prove it.
Common head injuries
Brain injuries (also known as traumatic brain injuries or TBIs) caused by motorcycle accidents can cover a wide range. Some of the most common - and most serious - head and brain injuries we deal with at our law firm include:
- Concussion (bruised brain)
- Skull fracture
- Hematoma (blood clot in the brain)
- Hemorrhage (internal bleeding in the brain)
Sometimes, head injuries result in temporary brain damage. But in many cases, many serious TBIs and other types of head injuries cause permanent brain damage. In either case, our law firm wants to make sure your motorcycle accident injury receives the attention it rightfully deserves.
What causes motorcycle accident head injuries?
TBIs and other serious head injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident often occur due to a direct blow to the head. These types of injuries are prevalent in motorcycle accidents since motorcyclists have little protection around them in the event of a collision.
Often, motorcyclists sustain head injuries because another driver did something reckless or negligent. Examples including:
- Drivers who open the door of a parked car without looking, resulting in a dooring accident. That’s when a motorcyclist hits an open car door.
- Distracted drivers, including texting drivers, who aren’t paying attention and cause a serious motorcycle crash, resulting in a TBI.
- Speeding drivers who hit a motorcyclist, causing a high-speed highway accident that results in a concussion or severe head injury.
Whatever the circumstances of your head injury, you need to know your legal rights and options to seek the compensation you’re entitled to under the law. Make sure you talk to an experienced Florida motorcycle accident lawyer at our law firm as soon as possible. We have dedicated our careers to fighting for the rights of injured motorcyclists throughout Florida.
