Florida VA TBI Lawyer

Our Florida VA TBI Lawyer Helps You Get the Government Benefits You Need

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are common injuries suffered by combat veterans. Even during training, there is a chance that you could suffer blunt force trauma to the head. A TBI can range from a mild concussion in which you do not lose consciousness to a severe brain injury that permanently changes your personality and mental and physical abilities. So, victims may never be able to live independently or sustain gainful employment after a TBI, let alone serve their country in the military. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers comprehensive benefits and compensation for military personnel suffering from TBI. If you are part of the nearly 20% of people who suffered a TBI while deployed, then our Florida VA TBI lawyer can help ensure that you receive the full complement of benefits you’re entitled to.

We don’t need to tell you that getting your benefits from the VA can be difficult. If you are unsure where to turn when your claim is not approved or if you need help filing for your benefits because your TBI makes this difficult, we’re here to help and support you. Gregory M. Rada, Attorney at Law, takes your case seriously and advocates tirelessly on behalf of injured veterans like you. Call us today for a consultation.

Skilled VA Attorneys Helping TBI Victims And Their Families

Our attorneys help you and your family understand what benefits you’re entitled to, from health care to housing or a stipend to help you pay your bills if you cannot work. We can help you prepare your TBI claim to submit to the VA so that no errors or omissions delay your receipt of benefits. Our firm can advise you on how to prove to the VA that you are eligible for TBI benefits:

• You have proof that you were honorably discharged
• Your injury happened in the line of duty
• Your injury is debilitating
• You did not suffer the injury due to willful misconduct or because you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Many people with a TBI may have no other means to support themselves except their VA benefits. They may also need long-term personal and health care or accommodations in a memory care facility or nursing home. We help you or your loved one present appropriate evidence to the VA to meet your needs.

Our Attorneys Help You Get The VA Benefits You’re Entitled To

The VA recognizes the impact that a moderate to severe TBI has on the lives of veterans, especially those with comorbidity with PTSD. The benefits you receive from the VA can help you get high-quality medical treatment to ease the physical and mental symptoms of a TBI can provide the best chance for maximum medical improvement. Our firm helps you file your claim or appeal a denied claim.

Types of VA TBI Cases We Handle

Living with the effects of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can impact every part of your life, including your memory, focus, relationships, and ability to work. Our Florida VA TBI lawyer has seen firsthand how challenging it can be for veterans to get the compensation they deserve from the VA. Attorney Greg Rada is an Air Force Veteran who has dedicated his career to helping those who have served secure the disability benefits they’ve earned. Over the years, he has won hundreds of cases involving entitlement to individual unemployability (TDIU), service connection disputes for conditions such as PTSD, and appeals for increased ratings.

At our firm, every case we take is personal because we know what it means to fight for recognition of a service-related injury. Learn about the main types of VA TBI cases we handle for veterans across Florida and nationwide.

Direct Service-Connected TBI Claims

One of the most common types of cases we handle involves proving a direct service connection for a TBI. Whether your injury resulted from a blast exposure, vehicle accident, fall, or other in-service incident, our job is to demonstrate that your TBI occurred or was aggravated during military service.

We gather service treatment records, eyewitness statements, and expert medical opinions to show a clear link between your injury and your time in uniform. Many of our clients come to us after the VA initially downplays or overlooks the long-term impact of their TBI symptoms. We make sure your case tells the full story by connecting the event, the diagnosis, and the continuing symptoms that affect your daily life.

Secondary Conditions Caused By TBI

A TBI rarely exists in isolation. Many veterans experience secondary conditions tied to their brain injury, including migraines, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. The VA often fails to recognize these as part of a single, interconnected medical picture.

We help veterans pursue secondary service connection for these related conditions. By compiling neurological evaluations, neuropsychological testing, and statements from treating physicians, we build a comprehensive case that captures the ripple effects of your TBI. Establishing these secondary links not only increases your overall compensation but also provides recognition of the full impact your injury has on your health and quality of life.

Increased Rating Claims For TBI Residuals

Even if the VA has already granted service connection for your TBI, the assigned rating may not reflect the severity of your symptoms. The VA rates TBI residuals based on cognitive impairment, emotional changes, and physical effects, but the evaluation process is often inconsistent and overly narrow.

We help you pursue an increased rating claim by identifying the symptoms and limitations that the VA overlooked. Whether you’re experiencing worsening headaches, memory loss, concentration issues, dizziness, or mood changes, we document these effects with clear medical evidence and personal impact statements. Our goal is to make sure that your disability rating accurately represents the day-to-day challenges you face.

TDIU Claims Related To TBI

For some veterans, TBI symptoms make it impossible to hold consistent, gainful employment. In these cases, we help pursue Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) benefits, which provide compensation at the 100% rate, even if your combined disability rating is lower.

We demonstrate how your TBI limits your ability to perform tasks, interact with others, or maintain steady attendance. Through vocational assessments, expert reports, and detailed personal statements, we show that your service-connected TBI has made sustaining employment unrealistic. These cases can be complicated, but our Florida TBI lawyer has helped many veterans win TDIU by proving the full extent of their work-related limitations.

Appealing A Denied Or Underrated TBI Claim

Unfortunately, the VA often misclassifies, underrates, or outright denies legitimate TBI claims. If that has happened to you, we can help you file an appeal or request a higher-level review. Our experience with challenging TBI cases allows us to identify where the VA went wrong, whether in misinterpreting medical evidence, ignoring secondary conditions, or applying outdated diagnostic criteria.

We handle every stage of the appeal process, from submitting supplemental claims to representing veterans before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. Our goal is simple: to correct VA errors and secure the benefits you’ve rightfully earned through your service.
