A Sudden Jolt, a Lifetime of Costs: Why Early Action Changes Everything

Every day, 586 Americans are hospitalized for traumatic brain injury, and 190 die, making TBI a costlier crisis than spinal cord or burn trauma. Florida alone sees over 3,700 TBI deaths and nearly 20,000 hospitalizations yearly. Because symptoms can hide for weeks, insurers rush low offers before the true cost emerges. Percy Martinez’s rapid response team coordinates neurologists within 24 hours, preserving imaging and eyewitness data that often double final awards.

Florida law lets you sue when another’s negligence, malpractice, or defective product directly causes cognitive, motor, or emotional deficits. We document duty, breach, and medical causation using peer reviewed diffusion tensor imaging, neuropsych tests, and economic loss modelling unavailable to general practice firms. Courts accept these tools as objective proof, overcoming the insurer myth that “mild” TBIs heal quickly.

Why Families Trust Percy Martinez: Track Record Meets Medical Mastery

While generic firms recycle boiler plate, Percy tailors each brain map. Recent wins include $1.8m for delayed diagnosis hemorrhage in Miami and confidential seven figure mediation in Orlando, both secured without trial, sparing clients extra stress. Competitors tout size; we deliver courtroom ready focus backed by Florida’s Brain & Spinal Cord Injury Program data and local neurologist partnerships.

The Clock Is Ticking: Understanding Florida’s Two Year Deadline

Since HB 837, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years, not four. Medical malpractice brain injuries carry a separate two year limit from discovery, with a seven year repose for concealed errors. Missing either bar kills your right to recover even if liability is obvious. Percy files tolling notices within days, preserving evidence and settlement leverage.

Your free legal audit starts online or by phone statewide. We gather EMT charts, MRI discs, and wage records, then launch an independent neurologic review. Next, we issue preservation letters, negotiate interim medical payments, and, if needed, file suit in Miami Dade, Hillsborough, Orange, or your local circuit.

“Not all cases have legs. Take that previous client’s review with a tablespoon of salt. Mr. Martinez stayed with my case for five years, through a multitude of delays and stonewalling by the defendant. The other day we reached a great settlement. I’ve been made whole, and I have Mr. Martinez to thank for it. I can recommend him without reservations.”
