Head Injury

It is estimated that 2.5 million Americans suffer from a traumatic brain injury each year. Traumatic brain injuries can happen when the head hits a hard surface, such as a road, floor, or shelf. In some cases, injury can happen if the head jerks back and forth quickly, whereby your brain moves at a slower rate than your head. This can cause the tearing of the tissues or it can damage your brain directly.

If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury as the result of an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be wondering if you have a case. Perhaps you are starting to receive bills for medical treatment or haven’t been able to return to work since your injury. A Pembroke Pines head injury attorney can help navigate you through the process and advise you of your options and your rights. Call Wolfson & Leon at (954) 530-3918 for a free and confidential review of your case.
