That depends entirely on how it happened. Given the numerous potential causes of a TBI, we cannot possibly list every party who might have a legal liability to a Fort Lauderdale TBI victim. We can give you some examples, though.
As a general matter, anyone who caused your TBI through unreasonably dangerous decisions or actions could owe you damages.
Other parties who, by law, must answer for the actions of others may also have a legal liability to you.
- If your TBI happened in a car accident, for example, then the other driver, the other driver’s employer, an automotive manufacturer, and even a local government, could have liability to you for your traumatic brain injury;
- If you suffered a TBI in a fall, then the owner or manager of the property where you fell, or anyone else responsible for a dangerous property condition that contributed to your fall, could have liability; and
- The perpetrator of a violent assault, and possibly the owner or operator of the location where it happened, could owe you damages for a TBI.
