When a traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts your life or the life of someone you love, the road ahead can feel uncertain and overwhelming. The physical, emotional, and financial consequences of brain injuries are often long-term and require more than just immediate medical care—they demand strong legal support.
At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we bring over 35 years of experience in representing brain injury victims throughout South Florida. Whether the injury was caused by a car accident, slip and fall, workplace incident, or any other form of negligence, our firm is here to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in the normal function of the brain due to a sudden blow, jolt, or penetrating injury. TBIs range in severity from mild concussions to severe injuries that result in permanent cognitive or physical disabilities.
Even a seemingly minor head injury can lead to complications that significantly impact your ability to work, live independently, or maintain relationships.
Brain injuries can occur in a wide variety of situations. In our experience at the Law Office of Mark Wolin, the most common causes include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, motorcycle, and truck crashes are leading causes of TBIs due to the violent forces involved.
Slip and Fall Accidents: A fall on a wet floor, uneven pavement, or unsafe stairwell can lead to a serious head injury.
Assault and Negligent Security: Victims of violent crimes may suffer brain trauma, especially when property owners fail to ensure a safe environment.
Workplace Accidents: Construction sites, warehouses, and industrial environments pose high risks for head injuries.
Defective Products: Malfunctioning equipment or safety gear can cause a fall or head injury due to design flaws or manufacturing defects.
Medical Negligence: Mistakes during childbirth, surgery, or hospital care can result in oxygen deprivation and subsequent brain damage.
Brain injuries can affect every part of a person’s life. While some symptoms may appear immediately, others can take days or even weeks to surface. It’s important to recognize the signs and seek medical and legal help right away.
Headaches or migraines
Loss of consciousness
Nausea or vomiting
Confusion or disorientation
Memory loss or difficulty concentrating
Mood changes or depression
Sensory issues (blurred vision, ringing in ears, light sensitivity)
Cognitive impairment
Seizures or epilepsy
Loss of motor skills
Speech difficulties
Personality changes
Dependency on lifelong care or therapy
Brain injury cases are complex. Insurance companies often try to downplay the severity of TBIs or argue that the symptoms are unrelated to the accident. Without experienced legal representation, you risk receiving far less than you need to cover your ongoing medical care, therapy, and lost income.

Mark Wolin has helped countless injury victims in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties recover substantial settlements and verdicts. We work with medical experts, financial planners, and life-care specialists to fully evaluate the value of your claim.
In Florida, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident (as of 2023 legal updates). However, this timeline can vary depending on the facts of your case—especially if the injury wasn’t discovered right away or involves a government entity.
Waiting too long can jeopardize your right to compensation. That’s why it’s critical to speak to an attorney as soon as possible after the injury.
Our firm’s approach to brain injury claims is aggressive, detailed, and compassionate. Every client’s story matters, and every case deserves a powerful legal strategy tailored to their needs.
We work with neurologists, radiologists, and cognitive experts to document the full scope of the injury.
We obtain accident reports, video footage, witness statements, and more to prove negligence.
We collaborate with care planners to calculate the lifelong cost of your injury, including housing modifications and 24/7 care if needed.
We pursue full compensation in negotiations, and we’re always prepared to take your case to court if needed.

1. How do I know if I have a brain injury claim?
If your brain injury was caused by someone else’s negligence—such as a car accident, fall, or assault—you likely have grounds for a claim. A consultation with an attorney can help you understand your options.
2. Can I file a brain injury claim on behalf of someone else?
Yes. If your loved one is incapacitated or unable to file the claim themselves, a legal guardian or family member can pursue compensation on their behalf.
3. What evidence is needed to prove a brain injury?
Medical records, imaging tests (MRI, CT scans), neurological evaluations, and expert testimony are commonly used to prove the existence and extent of a brain injury.
4. How long does a brain injury case take?
Every case is different, but brain injury claims can take several months to a few years depending on the complexity, severity of injuries, and whether the case goes to trial.
5. Will I need to go to court?
Not always. Many brain injury claims are resolved through settlements. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount, taking the case to court may be necessary.
6. What if I had a prior concussion or injury?
Pre-existing conditions don’t prevent you from filing a claim. In fact, if the new accident worsened your condition, you may still be eligible for compensation.
7. How much is my brain injury case worth?
Case value varies based on the severity of the injury, impact on your life, lost income, medical costs, and future care needs. A detailed case review can help determine the estimated value.
Guy walks into a lawyer’s office. A handsome U.S. Coast Guardsman, he sustained a brain injury in a night-time crash with a truck on the Turnpike that he cannot remember because of amnesia resulting from injuries sustained in the crash.
There are no other known witnesses, other than the truck driver who claims to have been rear ended. In the meantime, our client’s career in the Coast Guard is over. He’s been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and is no longer fit for duty. Can I help him?
So begins a case that went on for four years, pitting our firm against five leading Florida defense firms and four separate defendants including the truck driver, the trucking company, the construction company that the driver was hauling for and our client’s auto insurer.
Complex truck regulations were researched. Truck safety and human factors experts were brought in. Obtaining the 911 tapes, we discovered a previously unidentified witness who provided key information about the accident. The scene, the vehicles, weather and lighting conditions were analyzed. Evidence was compiled piece by piece like a mosaic.
The picture that emerged at the end told a story much different than the one given by the truck driver, who, we discovered, had lied on his job application to cover up a bad driving record. Prior to trial, the case resulted in a confidential settlement reached after a day-long mediation. After a long, arduous ordeal, and months of therapies, our client is successfully pursing a new career, and a new life.
Proving an injury usually involves getting an evaluation from the client’s doctors. But what if your client refuses to go to the doctor? Or even admit that she’s hurt? And doesn’t even remember the car accident that put her in the hospital for three weeks with a serious brain injury?
This was the predicament after a Sunny Isles Beach grandmother was knocked to the ground when a careless driver ran into the grocery cart which she was pushing as she crossed the street in Aventura. Bleeding profusely, and rushed to the intensive care unit at the nearest trauma center, tests revealed bleeding in several areas of the brain. After being transferred to a rehabilitation hospital, she discharged herself against doctor’s orders.
Suffering with memory problems, personality changes and cognitive deficits, our client stubbornly refused to seek medical attention. Fortunately, thanks to deep relationships forged over years of experience, we were able to actually bring top physicians and experts to her, including a board certified neurologist, who went to her apartment and interviewed and examined her there with great kindness and gentility. The client’s family, who lives in another state, was more than grateful.
A confidential six figure settlement was reached consisting of the entire policy limits of the opposing driver’s insurance coverage. The recovery will go far towards helping our client pay for attendant care and other specialized needs to provide her comfort in the remaining years of her life.
Our client Arthur was a grade school teacher in Miami’s inner city. One holiday weekend, Arthur was out drinking with friends, and was leaving a bar when he got into an altercation with an assailant who punched Arthur, and caused him to fall, striking his head on the curb.
Out cold, Arthur was taken by ambulance to the emergency room, arriving unconscious with the smell of alcohol on his breath. Arthur was set aside on a stretcher in the hallway for 22 hours when he was finally examined and it was discovered that his pupils were unequal and dilated–a sure sign of brain injury.
Unfortunately, a CT-scan taken almost immediately afterwards showed a large subdural hematoma–a bleed in the brain that had been going on for hours. With this kind of injury, time is critical to success in treatment. The longer the wait, the greater the damage.
Arthur did not die, but sustained extremely serious brain damage resulting from the delay in discovering the bleed inside his brain. Working with a team of colleagues, a confidential settlement was reached with the hospital, after we helped demonstrate that the hospital had mistaken a patient with a serious brain injury as just being drunk.
