Get Maximum Compensation with Our Ocala Brain Injury Lawyer
As a brain injury survivor, you’re facing serious and possibly long-term impairments. These can make it difficult to work, provide for your family, or even enjoy your lifestyle. When this occurs, you want someone on your side who can help you through this difficult time.
Unfortunately, insurance companies also know how much a brain injury will change your life. As such, they may offer you a low settlement quickly, in the hopes that you will sign before you truly understand the full extent of your injuries. They may even pressure you into signing by using a “take it or leave it” approach.
An Ocala personal injury attorney can negotiate with insurance companies while you focus your energy on what truly matters – your health and your recovery. Call us at (352) 373-8000 to learn more about how we can help.

You have many financial worries after suffering a traumatic brain injury due to another party’s negligence. Between medical bills and lost time from work, you may worry about affording a personal injury lawyer. That’s not a problem with Meldon Law because we work on a contingency-fee basis.
In this arrangement, we don’t charge upfront fees or costs; a portion of your compensation pays for our help. You could say that we only get paid if you do. Contingency-based-representation is just one of many things you can learn about during your free legal consultation.

Damages You Can Recover in an Ocala Traumatic Brain Injury Claim
We know that insurance companies do not willingly offer traumatic brain injury survivors what they need and deserve. That is why we fight aggressively every step of the way. Our Ocala brain injury attorneys can help you recover the money you need to pay for:
- Medical expenses
- Long-term care
- Lost wages
- Rehabilitation
- Specialized medical equipment
- Loss of future earnings
- Loss of benefits
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
Our attorneys work closely with your medical team to understand the full impact your injuries will have on your future. This way, you can rest assured knowing you have the compensation to tackle whatever life brings.
You Have a Limited Time to Seek Financial Recovery
You have all the time in the world to reach maximum medical improvement after suffering a TBI. Yet, the same flexibility does not apply to your personal injury lawsuit. Florida Statutes § 95.11 notes that you have just two years from the date of your accident to sue the at-fault party.
While Meldon Law resolves most personal injury claims through negotiations, you don’t want to lose the right to litigation. That’s because, if the liable insurance company refuses to settle, suing could be your only option for seeking damages. There are also other reasons why a lawsuit may suit your circumstances.
Because we don’t charge upfront fees or costs, there’s no reason to delay starting on your injury case. You can learn more about your rights, options, and next steps during your free legal consultation. Call (352) 373-8000 to get started.
Our Ocala Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers Get Results

How Our Ocala TBI Lawyers Intend to Secure Fair Compensation
From the moment you entrust your case to Meldon Law, we’re confident that you’ll feel relief and peace of mind regarding your legal matters. Now is the time to focus on spending time with your family, recovering, and processing the trauma of what happened. In the meantime, our personal injury lawyers support your case by:
Handling All Case-Related Communications
After suffering a brain injury, the last thing you want is to respond to case-related phone calls, text messages, and emails. You want to spend your recovery in peace with your family––not dodging allegations of fault or dealing with the arduous claims process. Your Ocala personal injury attorney can handle all communications, ensuring that your claim is processed in good faith.
Demonstrating the Severity of Your Condition
To have a successful claim, we must prove that you suffered a serious condition that warrants compensation. This involves gathering supporting evidence, such as your medical records, information from your healthcare team, and photos of any external conditions. You don’t have to lift a finger when it comes to your case’s progression. All you need to focus on is adapting to your new normal.
Documenting and Establishing Your Case’s Value
In a perfect world, we would approach the liable insurance company and recover fair compensation for your losses without any issues. Yet, we need extensive documentation to support the amount we’re requesting, such as medical bills, employment records, and expert testimony.
Relying on our years of experience, we can determine a fair value for even subjective losses, like pain and suffering.
Combating Unfair Accusations of Fault
The insurance company may try blaming you for what happened, hoping to avoid paying the full value of your claim. We stand between you and any unfair allegations of fault, using evidence to combat these tactics. Our law firm regularly partners with accident reconstruction specialists who can bolster your claim.
Managing Your Personal Injury Claim or Lawsuit
No matter what path your case takes, our Ocala personal injury lawyers stand by your side each step of the way. Whether your case ends up at the negotiating table or before a judge and jury, you can rest assured that we’re doing everything possible to secure what you need.
Our Ocala TBI Lawyers Represent Claimants Suffering From These Brain Injuries
There are numerous types of traumatic brain injuries. These injuries differ based on their location and the type of harm suffered. The entire team at Meldon Law extends a helping hand if you or a loved one endured:
- Concussions. Concussions have a reputation for being “minor,” when they can actually cause life-altering impairments, such as dizziness and confusion.
- Coup-contrecoup brain injury. This occurs when the brain shakes back and forth, hitting the skull with force.
- Brain bleeds. Any type of injury can result in bleeding. Brain bleeds can cause clots, and they can also impact the brain’s ability to oxygenate, resulting in significant impairment and even death.
- Brain stem tears. Brain stem tears are often life-threatening and fatal.
- Penetrating injury. This is an open head injury caused when something penetrates the skull and damages the brain, like a bullet.
Even if you don’t see your specific injury listed above, you benefit from beginning a free case review with our team.
