A traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injury can change a person’s life forever. Beyond the physical damage, these injuries often bring emotional pain, financial strain, and the loss of independence. Families face mounting medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and uncertainty about what the future holds.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne represent Floridians whose lives have been turned upside down by catastrophic injuries. They understand the challenges victims face and are committed to helping them obtain justice, secure financial stability, and access the care they need for life.
Understanding Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A TBI occurs when a sudden impact, blow, or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. Even mild TBIs — such as concussions — can have lasting effects. Severe brain injuries can cause permanent cognitive, behavioral, and physical impairments.
Common causes of TBIs include:
- Car and truck accidents
- Falls on unsafe property
- Sports or recreational impacts
- Construction or workplace accidents
- Medical malpractice (oxygen deprivation or surgical mistakes)
Symptoms may range from headaches and memory loss to confusion, seizures, or changes in mood and personality.
Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI)
A spinal cord injury happens when trauma damages the nerves that transmit messages between the brain and body. Depending on the severity, victims may experience partial or complete paralysis.
Common causes include:
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Falls from unsafe structures or heights
- Acts of violence or assault
- Medical errors during surgery or anesthesia
- Defective equipment or products
Because spinal cord injuries often lead to permanent disability, the financial and emotional impact on families can be overwhelming.
The Lifelong Consequences of Catastrophic Injuries
Brain and spinal cord injuries often affect every aspect of a person’s life — physically, emotionally, and financially. Victims may face:
- Loss of mobility and independence
- Inability to work or pursue previous careers
- Chronic pain and muscle spasms
- Depression, anxiety, or PTSD
- Need for home modifications and adaptive equipment
- Strained relationships and caregiver burnout
These life-changing challenges require not just medical care, but also financial and legal support. Moore Payne Law helps clients secure the compensation they need to rebuild with dignity.
