When a Brain Injury Changes Everything, You Need More Than a Lawyer
A sharp impact. A spinning car on the Palmetto. A fall on a slick tile floor in a Brickell high-rise. In seconds, everything changes. Doctors talk about scans and symptoms. Bills stack up. Work stops. Nights stretch longer than they should.
At Stabinski Law, you’re never just another file on a desk. When you call, you speak directly with an attorney, not a case manager or intake clerk. We listen. We explain. And we move fast to protect your rights.
Our Miami brain injury lawyers combine the strength of a powerhouse firm with the personal attention of a boutique practice. You’ll always know who’s handling your case, what’s happening next, and that we’re fighting for you every step of the way.
Families feel the impact too. Spouses carry extra weight at home. Parents worry about school, sports, and screen time. Loved ones walk on eggshells around headaches and mood swings. We help you navigate both the medical and legal aftermath so you can focus on healing and breathe easy again.
Experience Is Everything in a Brain Injury Case
A brain injury isn’t just a “bump on the head.” It can alter memory, balance, speech, and the rhythm of daily life. Insurance companies downplay what they can’t see because many symptoms don’t show up on a scan. Real courtroom experience and the right medical experts turn insurance companies’ antics on their heads.
For over 50 years, Stabinski Law has fought for people across South Florida living with traumatic brain injuries.
We build every case as if it’s going before a jury, working with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners who understand how a TBI reshapes work, school, and family. And unlike billboard firms, every new inquiry is reviewed by our managing partner. Your brain injury case deserves absolute care and precision.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Miami
Miami’s pace and traffic create risks most cities don’t see. We routinely help clients injured in:
- Car, Truck & Motorcycle Crashes: On I-95, the Dolphin (SR-836), the Palmetto (SR-826), US-1, and the MacArthur.
- Falls & Premises Incidents: Wet floors in supermarkets, poorly lit stairs in apartment buildings, broken handrails, and unsafe decks.
- Construction & Workplace Harm: Struck-by incidents, falls from scaffolds, and lack of protective equipment.
- Boating & Recreational Accidents: Jet skis, charter boats, cycling along the Rickenbacker, youth sports impacts.
- Medical Negligence or Dangerous Products: Anesthesia issues, defective helmets or vehicle components.
We’re local to Miami and work closely with treating providers at Jackson Memorial, UHealth/Jackson, Baptist, Mount Sinai, and other area hospitals and rehab centers. That local knowledge helps us gather records quickly and build a smoother claim.
Tourists and seasonal visitors get hurt here too. If you live out of state but suffered a head injury while visiting Miami, we can handle your claim here and coordinate with your doctors back home.
The Real Cost of a Brain Injury — and What You Deserve to Recover
A brain injury doesn’t just change your health; it changes your life. Your recovery should account for every part of it.
A brain injury reaches into every corner of daily life. It can derail a career, strain relationships, and steal the comfort of simple routines. That’s why a strong legal case must capture the full picture—medical costs, lost opportunities, and the human toll behind them—not just the hospital bill.
- Medical Care: Hospitalization, imaging, medications, surgeries, and follow-ups.
- Rehab & Therapy: Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, neuropsychological care, counseling.
- Lost Wages & Loss of Earning Capacity: Pay you’ve missed and the impact on your career path.
- Home & Future Care: In-home assistance, transportation, adaptive devices, and long-term support.
- Pain and Suffering: Headaches, dizziness, noise sensitivity, irritability, anxiety, depression, and the strain on relationships.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: The hobbies and routines that used to bring joy.
We’ve helped Miami families recover the compensation they need to rebuild their lives. To us, those results aren’t just numbers. They’re rent paid, therapy covered, and peace of mind restored.
Many clients face invisible challenges: explaining symptoms at work, managing light or noise sensitivity, or simply getting through the day. We document every detail so insurers and juries truly understand what recovery looks like in real life.
How We Prove a Brain Injury Case
Insurance companies rarely take a brain injury claim seriously without a fight. Our job is to make the damage undeniable — medically, financially, and emotionally.
We start with the facts. Medical imaging, concussion clinic records, and neuropsychological testing build the foundation. From there, we work with neurologists and neuropsychologists who can translate complex symptoms into clear, persuasive testimony.
Then we connect the dots. Employer records, school reports, and personal journals help show how life has changed since the injury. Our team ties that human story to the physical evidence — from crash reconstruction and surveillance footage to black-box data and witness statements.
Finally, we bring it all together through life care planning, outlining the full cost of recovery and future care. That complete picture gives insurance companies, mediators, and juries no room to ignore what you’ve lost — or what it will take to rebuild.
What To Do After a Brain Injury in Miami
The hours and days after a head injury can define your recovery, both physically and legally. Here’s how to protect yourself and your case:
1. Get medical attention immediately, even if symptoms seem minor. Concussions and internal trauma often hide beneath the surface.
2. Follow every treatment plan and document changes in your condition. These records become crucial evidence.
3. Save everything — bills, photos, and work notes. Each detail tells part of your story.
4. Avoid signing forms or speaking with insurers alone. Early “quick settlement” offers almost always favor the company, not you.
5. Call Stabinski Law. One conversation with a brain injury attorney can prevent costly mistakes and put you back in control.

I had an outstanding experience with Stabinski Law. They handled two personal injury cases for me and won both. Throughout the entire process, their professionalism, communication, and dedication stood out. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that my case was in the right hands. I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and results, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. —Minnie G.

What Miami Brain Injury Victims Ask Us Most
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Florida deadlines can be strict. Call us as soon as possible so we can protect your rights and preserve evidence.
What if my scans are “normal,” but I still feel off?
Many concussion-related problems don’t show on standard imaging. Neuropsychological testing and clinical records can validate your symptoms.
Do I have to go to court?
Most cases resolve without a trial. We still build every file with a courtroom in mind, which often leads to better outcomes.
What will it cost to hire Stabinski Law?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency—no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Can you help if I live outside Florida?
Yes. If the injury happened here, we can file here and work with your out-of-state doctors to keep treatment on track.
