Florida Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers
A traumatic brain injury changes who you are — memory, mood, focus, personality — and then adds insult: because TBIs often don't show on routine scans, insurers call them exaggerated or fake. Shiner Law Group proves the invisible injury with medicine, testing, and testimony, statewide, with no fee unless we win.
A Brain Injury Is Invisible. Its Consequences Are Not.
Traumatic brain injuries run a spectrum — from concussions whose "mild" label betrays their real effects, to severe injuries that end independence. What they share is how they hide: a person who looks fine, whose CT scan reads normal, but who can no longer hold focus through a workday, control their temper, remember conversations, or feel like themselves. Families see it. Employers see it. Insurance companies claim not to.
Proving a TBI is a discipline of its own. Routine imaging often misses the diffuse axonal and microstructural damage that drives symptoms, so the proof is built from converging evidence: neuropsychological testing that objectively measures cognitive deficits, advanced imaging where appropriate, treating specialists in neurology and brain injury medicine, and before-and-after witnesses — the spouse, coworker, and friend who can testify to exactly who you were and what changed. Insurers know unrepresented TBI victims can't assemble that case. We can.
Shiner Law Group handles brain injury claims from every cause — crashes, falls, workplace and sports incidents, violence on unsafe property — statewide, with the lifetime-scale valuation these injuries demand. You pay nothing unless we win.
No upfront cost, ever. Every case is handled on a strict contingency fee. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation, available 24/7 from offices across Florida.

What to Do After a Head Injury — Step by Step
The steps you take in the first hours and days can make or break your claim.
Get Evaluated Immediately - and Again
Emergency evaluation after any head injury, then follow-up when symptoms persist. Delayed-onset symptoms are common; documented follow-up ties them to the trauma.
Tell Providers Every Symptom
Headaches, fog, memory gaps, light sensitivity, irritability, sleep changes - minimizing at appointments builds the insurer's file, not yours.
Start a Symptom Journal
Daily notes on symptoms and what they cost you - the mistakes at work, the forgotten names, the exhaustion. Contemporaneous records are powerful evidence.
Let People Close to You Speak
Spouses, coworkers, and friends witness the change better than any scan - we'll gather their accounts properly.
Don't Rush Back to Full Duty
Follow medical guidance on cognitive and physical rest - premature return worsens injuries and muddies causation.

Proving the Invisible: How TBI Cases Are Won
TBI claims succeed on converging evidence — each piece answering a different insurer attack.
Objective Testing
Neuropsychological evaluation measures memory, processing speed, attention, and executive function against norms — turning "he seems off" into quantified deficits, with built-in validity measures that answer malingering accusations.
Medical & Imaging Evidence
Emergency records establishing the trauma, specialists connecting symptoms to injury, and advanced imaging where clinically appropriate — while we educate juries on why normal routine scans don't rule out real brain injury.
The Human Record
Before-and-after testimony from family, friends, and coworkers; work records showing declining performance; the victim's own symptom journal. Under Florida's two-year deadline, this record must be built while memories are fresh — another reason early counsel matters.
How Florida Brain Injuries Happen
Any force to the head — or violent motion of it — can injure the brain, with or without loss of consciousness, with or without a single visible mark.
Whatever the cause, the liability case and the medical case are built together.
Vehicle Crashes
Impact and whiplash forces - the leading cause of serious TBIs, no head strike required
Falls
From heights, on stairs, and on unsafe premises - the leading cause among older adults
Workplace Incidents
Struck-by injuries and falls, with comp and third-party claims combined
Motorcycle, Bicycle & Pedestrian Impacts
Unprotected road users absorbing vehicle forces
Violence on Unsafe Property
Assault-related TBIs where negligent security shares liability
Sports & Recreation
Concussions mismanaged by programs that ignored return-to-play protocols
TBI Effects We Prove and Value
- Memory loss and cognitive fog
- Concentration and processing deficits
- Personality changes and irritability
- Depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation
- Chronic headaches and migraines

How Insurers Fight TBI Claims — and How We Answer
TBI claims face a specialized defense playbook built on the injury's invisibility. Every move has a counter.
"The Scan Was Normal"
Routine CT/MRI limits presented as proof of health — answered with medical education and objective testing
"Just a Mild Concussion"
The word "mild" weaponized — refuted with persistent-symptom evidence and specialist testimony
Malingering Accusations
Claiming symptoms are faked for money — dismantled by validity-tested neuropsychological results
Blame Something Else
Age, stress, or prior history offered as the "real" cause — met with before/after evidence and treating physicians
Surveillance Games
Video of good moments offered against a fluctuating injury — contextualized by the medicine of TBI variability
The Early Lowball
Settling before the injury declares its permanence — refused until the prognosis is truly known
The most important thing to know: the defense starts building its case before you have spoken to an attorney. Shiner Law Group levels this from day one. Call (561) 777-7700 before giving anyone a statement.
