Serving West Palm Beach, Miami & Fort Lauderdale

About 369,600 people are presently living with traumatic brain injury-related disabilities in Florida.  By 2015, the number is expected to reach 435,350 according to the Brain Injury Association of Florida.  While a head injury may not seem detrimental at first, (especially if no loss of consciousness occurred), any trauma to the brain can lead to impaired brain function with permanent damage.  Traumatic brain injuries can be caused from:

• Traffic accidents
• Slip and falls
• Sporting accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Truck accidents
• Train accidents
• Aviation accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Gunshot wounds

If any of the following conditions resulted from trauma to the head, you may have suffered a brain injury:

• Loss of consciousness for any length of time
• Loss of memory either before or after the head trauma
• Any change in your state of mind at the time of the incident (confusion or disorientation)
• Any neurological deficit (numbness or tingling sensations, loss of balance, dizziness, paralysis or loss of muscle control of any type, inability to speak)
• Any sensory loss (such as hearing, vision, sense of smell, or taste)

In 2005, about 3,000 traumatic brain injuries were sustained in Florida (511.5 per 100,000), which resulted in 3,900 deaths, 17,700 hospitalizations and 71,400 emergency department visits.  Of those victims, 21.9% were aged 25-44 and 20% were aged 65 and over.  39.6% of the traumatic brain injuries in were caused by a fall.
