Can I file a brain injury claim if I never lost consciousness during the accident?

Yes. A loss of consciousness is not a legal or medical prerequisite to pursue a traumatic brain injury (TBI) claim in Florida. Concussions and mild TBIs frequently occur without a blackout, often caused by rapid acceleration-deceleration forces that jolt the brain within the skull. Damaging symptoms like chronic headaches, memory lapses, dizziness, and cognitive fatigue can emerge days after the incident. The Altman Law Firm, led by Jeffrey S. Altman, helps injured victims document symptoms and pursue compensation from negligent parties under Florida law, demonstrating that serious neurological harm can occur even when the victim remained conscious throughout the impact.
