Brain Injury Lawyer in Sunrise, FL

Legally Reviewed by Scott Sobol on July 30, 2026

A traumatic brain injury can happen in an instant — a car accident on Sunrise Boulevard, a fall on unsafe property, or a blow sustained in a workplace accident — but the effects can last a lifetime. Even an injury classified as “mild” can cause memory loss, personality changes, chronic headaches, and an inability to return to work. The Law Offices of Scott Sobol has represented seriously injured clients throughout Sunrise and Broward County for more than 20 years, and we understand how disruptive a brain injury is to every part of a family’s life.

Because brain injuries are often invisible from the outside, insurance companies frequently try to minimize these claims. Our team works to document the true extent of a client’s injury and fights for compensation that reflects a lifetime of care, not just an initial diagnosis.

⚠ Time-Sensitive — Florida Law Limits Your Window to File

Florida gives you just 2 years from the date of injury to file a brain injury claim.

Scott Sobol has spent more than 20 years fighting for injured clients throughout Sunrise and Broward County, working on a contingency-fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win.

Statute of Limitations for Brain Injury Claims in Sunrise

Under Florida Statutes §95.11(3), injury victims generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a negligence lawsuit. This deadline applies to brain injuries occurring on or after March 24, 2023, under Florida’s 2023 tort reform law, House Bill 837. Injuries that happened before that date may still fall under the prior four-year window.

Filing Deadline

2 Years From the Date of Injury

Brain injury symptoms can worsen or become fully apparent only after months of treatment, which makes early legal guidance especially important. Missing the filing deadline generally means losing the right to recover compensation, regardless of how severe the injury ultimately proves to be.

Understanding Brain Injury Severity and Compensation

Brain injuries range widely in severity, and the classification of an injury directly affects the value of a claim.

SeverityTypical Impact
Mild (Concussion)Headaches, brief confusion, memory issues that may resolve or linger for months
ModerateExtended loss of consciousness, ongoing cognitive or physical impairment, need for rehabilitation
SeverePermanent disability, need for lifelong care, inability to return to work

Compensation in a brain injury case can include past and future medical expenses, the cost of long-term care or rehabilitation, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Because the full impact of a brain injury often isn’t clear right away, we work with medical professionals to project future care needs before valuing a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brain Injury Claims in Sunrise

Do I have a valid brain injury case in Sunrise?
You may have a valid case if your brain injury resulted from another party’s negligence, including a car accident, a fall on unsafe property, or a workplace incident. Medical documentation connecting the injury to the incident is central to the claim.
What is the deadline to file a brain injury lawsuit in Florida?
You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit under Florida Statutes §95.11(3).
How much does it cost to hire a brain injury attorney in Sunrise?
The Law Offices of Scott Sobol handles brain injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. There is no upfront cost, and you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Can family members recover damages if a brain injury caused permanent disability or death?
Yes. A severe brain injury may support a claim for future care costs and loss of quality of life, and if the injury proves fatal, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim.
Why do brain injury claims often take longer to resolve?
Brain injury symptoms can evolve over months, so attorneys often wait until a client reaches maximum medical improvement, or obtain expert projections of future care needs, before settling a claim — ensuring the settlement reflects the true long-term impact.
