Tampa & Orlando Brain Injury Lawyer Helping You Rebuild

Mild TBI (Concussion): With a mild brain injury, a brief loss of consciousness can happen for a few seconds/minutes, but in most cases, the individual remains awake and alert. While “mild” might sound manageable, symptoms like persistent headaches, memory and concentration issues, and difficulty with routine decisions can derail your career, strain your relationships, and leave you feeling like a stranger to yourself.

Moderate TBI: With a moderate brain injury, loss of consciousness typically lasts from minutes to hours, often accompanied by pupil dilation, extremity weakness, repeated vomiting, seizures, and coordination problems. Recovery is a full-time job, with these injuries often requiring hospitalization and months of intensive rehabilitation. Any permanent changes may affect relationships, work, and the need for ongoing support for tasks you once handled independently.

Severe TBI: With a severe brain injury, extended unconsciousness can last days, weeks, or even months, accompanied by profound confusion about time, place, and familiar people.You may experience crushing fatigue that prevents basic tasks, chronic pain from headaches and nerve damage, and seizure disorders that develop months later. Severe TBIs often require emergency surgery and round-the-clock care.
