A traumatic brain or spinal cord injury is one of the most devastating experiences a person and their family can endure. These catastrophic injuries often result in permanent disabilities, loss of independence, and immense financial strain. Victims must adapt to new realities that affect every aspect of life — from mobility and communication to employment and emotional well-being.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne are committed to helping Floridians who have suffered serious brain or spinal cord injuries due to negligence. Their mission is to ensure victims receive the medical care, compensation, and justice they need to move forward with dignity.
Understanding Brain and Spine Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden blow, jolt, or penetrating injury disrupts normal brain function. Even a mild concussion can lead to lasting effects, while severe TBIs often cause permanent cognitive, behavioral, and physical impairments.
Common causes of TBIs include:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Falls from unsafe property conditions
- Sports or recreational accidents
- Workplace and construction site incidents
- Medical negligence or oxygen deprivation during surgery
Symptoms may include confusion, headaches, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, or loss of coordination — often requiring lifelong rehabilitation.
Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI)
A spinal cord injury damages the nerves that carry signals between the brain and the body, potentially resulting in partial or complete paralysis.
Common causes of SCIs include:
- Vehicle collisions
- Falls from heights or unsafe structures
- Acts of violence or assault
- Surgical or anesthesia errors
- Defective products or unsafe equipment
Spinal injuries often require extensive, ongoing medical treatment, assistive devices, and personal care — expenses that can reach millions of dollars over a lifetime.
The Long-Term Impact of Catastrophic Injuries
Brain and spine injuries extend far beyond the initial trauma. Victims and their families must adjust to major physical, emotional, and financial challenges, including:
- Loss of mobility or independence
- Inability to work or continue a career
- Chronic pain or neurological complications
- Depression, anxiety, or emotional distress
- Strained family relationships and caregiver fatigue
- Need for adaptive housing, technology, and full-time care
Families often shoulder both emotional and financial burdens. Moore Payne Law helps ease that weight by pursuing compensation that covers both immediate medical needs and lifelong support.
Proving Liability in Brain and Spine Injury Cases
Determining who is legally responsible for a catastrophic injury requires a thorough investigation. Moore Payne Law’s attorneys leave no stone unturned, gathering key evidence such as:
- Accident and police reports
- Medical and rehabilitation records
- Expert testimony from neurologists and spinal specialists
- Photographs, surveillance footage, and witness statements
- Proof of negligence, such as unsafe conditions or reckless behavior
They also assess the economic impact of the injury, including lost income, future care costs, and diminished earning potential — ensuring no source of compensation is overlooked.
Compensation for Victims of Brain and Spinal Injuries
Victims of catastrophic injuries in Florida may be entitled to substantial compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation: hospital care, therapy, and long-term treatment
- Lost wages and future earnings: compensation for lost income and reduced employability
- Home care and assistive devices: wheelchairs, mobility aids, and adaptive technology
- Pain and suffering: physical pain and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Home and vehicle modifications: for accessibility and independence
- Wrongful death damages: for families who lose a loved one to severe trauma
Moore Payne Law fights to ensure victims receive the full and fair compensation they deserve — not just what insurers are willing to offer.
