A Florida Car Crash Could Leave You with Traumatic Brain Injuries

The injuries that can be caused by a Florida auto accident can vary in severity. One of the most devastating injuries that one can sustain is a traumatic brain injury (TBI). An injury to the brain is unlike an injury to anywhere else on the body; it is not something you can just bandage and let heal. TBIs are often dramatically life-changing and permanent.

If you or a loved one have suffered a TBI in a Florida car wreck, you need to act quickly. Order your FREE copy of Palm Beach auto accident attorney Evan Fetterman’s book, Smart Lawyers, Smart Clients – Wear Clean Underwear.

Traumatic brain injuries are a major health problem in the United States, costing over $60 billion per year. According to the CDC, motor vehicle accidents cause the greatest number of TBI-related hospitalizations each year, with most occurring in adolescents ages 15 to 19. In order to prevent these traumatic injuries, you should always:

  • Wear a seat belt whenever you travel in a motor vehicle
  • Buckle your children into an approved child safety seat.
  • Never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Because the incidence of Florida car crashes resulting in a TBI is so much higher in teens, we need to take preventative measures. Be sure to teach your teens safe driving habits, and always set a good example for them to follow.

Most traumatic brain injuries are mild, such as when a minor bump or blow to the head results in a concussion; but when someone suffers a severe TBI, their life, as well as the lives of their family and friends, can be drastically altered. The medical bills that accompany a severe TBI can be astronomical and lifelong.

After you have read your free informational book, it is essential to consult with a Palm Beach TBI attorney regarding your injuries. If your TBI was caused by the negligence of another driver, you may have the right to seek compensation for your injuries.
