What happens if traumatic brain injury symptoms do not appear until weeks after an accident?

Delayed symptoms—including memory lapses, mood changes, brain fog, and persistent headaches—frequently follow head trauma, but insurers often argue that late-emerging conditions are unrelated to the crash. To protect your rights under Florida law: 1. Seek prompt clinical evaluation from a neurologist or qualified medical provider. 2. Inform your physicians about the original accident as the triggering event. 3. Keep a detailed daily journal tracking your cognitive and physical difficulties. Florida's modified comparative fault law (Fla. Stat. § 768.81) permits recovery when causation is demonstrated. Jeffrey S. Altman and The Altman Law Firm help clients secure the medical documentation necessary to link delayed TBI symptoms to the incident.
