What Miller & Jacobs does for you
We work to hold the responsible parties accountable and recover what you need.
Our
Orlando personal injury team
helps you pursue compensation after a concussion or more severe brain injury. We listen to what has changed, handle the claim, and explain your options so you can focus on recovery.
Find who should pay, and pursue compensation
We investigate how you were hurt, identify the people or businesses that may be responsible, and look for insurance coverage that can help pay your losses. We build the claim around the harm you have suffered and the care your recovery requires.
Take the insurance burden off your shoulders
Once you hire us, we handle claim-related calls, records requests, deadlines, and negotiations. If an insurer disputes the injury or overlooks its impact, we respond with evidence and challenge an offer that does not fairly account for your losses.
Keep working when the full impact takes time to emerge
We follow up on missing records, seek answers about ongoing limitations, and consult qualified experts when the case calls for them. That work helps us pursue compensation for rehabilitation, lost earning ability, and help at home, alongside the bills already in front of you.
Your experience matters to us
“You deserve to be heard, supported, and taken seriously.”
We listen, take on the legal work, and fight for compensation that reflects what you and your family are going through.
Compensation for the life the injury changed
We pursue more than payment for the first hospital bill.
You may be worrying about next month’s income, the cost of therapy, or whether you will need lasting help. We work to include every loss your evidence and the law support, with attention to both immediate pressures and future needs.
Treatment and help at home
We gather the costs of emergency care, follow-up treatment, and rehabilitation. When the medical evidence supports future care or help with daily tasks, we work to include those needs and their expected cost in the claim.
Work and earning ability
A brain injury can disrupt more than your next paycheck. We document missed income and reduced hours, and investigate a lasting loss of earning ability when returning to your former work may be difficult.
Changes beyond the bills
We listen to how pain, emotional distress, and loss of independence affect your daily life. We pursue compensation for these harms where the law allows. Certain motor-vehicle claims must meet Florida’s injury threshold to recover pain-and-suffering damages.
The work behind your claim
We build the evidence that supports your right to compensation.
We connect the evidence of what happened with the treatment, daily limitations, and future support your injury requires.

How it supports your claim
Helps us pursue support for needs that continue beyond the first bills or a settlement offer.
For spouses, parents, and other loved ones
When someone you love is injured, you need support too.
You may be trying to stay strong while handling appointments, missed work, bills, and changes you do not fully understand. It is a lot to carry. You can make the first call and tell us what is worrying you most.
We can help organize the legal next steps and explain how you can take part. With the injured person’s permission or proper legal authority, we can include you in case discussions. If they cannot make decisions, we explain what authority is needed so their interests are protected.
Start with what you can manage
1.
You do not need every answer. Tell us what happened and what your family needs help with first.
2.
Share what you already have. A discharge sheet or an insurance letter is a starting point. We can explain what else to gather.
3.
Let us hear what you are noticing. Changes at home, at work, or in conversation can help us understand the support your loved one needs.
From the first call to the fight for recovery
We take the next legal steps while you focus on your recovery.
We explain each decision as the claim progresses. Some steps overlap as treatment continues.
Check the deadline early.
Florida generally allows two years for a negligence lawsuit. The incident date, claim type, and exceptions matter. Treatment and settlement talks do not automatically extend that time.
Investigate responsibility and available coverage
We act to preserve available evidence, establish who may be responsible, and identify potential insurance coverage.
Build the case for the full extent of your losses
As treatment develops, we update the claim to reflect documented care needs, time away from work, and lasting limitations.
Negotiate firmly and prepare to litigate when needed
We negotiate the claim, explain offers, and prepare for court when appropriate. You decide whether to settle.
Let us help you take the next step
You have enough to carry. Let us help with the legal fight.
Tell us what happened and what is worrying you most. We will listen, explain your options, and discuss how we can pursue compensation for you. Your consultation is free.
After a head injury
Still struggling after a reassuring scan? Your concerns deserve attention.
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury. A CT scan may be used to check for bleeding, but a scan is not required to diagnose a concussion. Tell your healthcare provider about symptoms and changes even if initial imaging was reassuring.
If you are still struggling, we want to understand what has changed.
Tell your medical team what daily life feels like
Symptoms can involve headaches, balance, concentration, memory, sleep, or mood. Some appear later. Keep short, factual notes for your provider: when a problem occurs, what you were doing, and how it affects a task.
Urgent symptoms need medical care first. Call 911 or seek emergency care after a head injury for danger signs such as a worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, slurred speech, increasing confusion, or difficulty waking. Do not wait for a legal consultation.
An Orlando incident. A recovery that may take you elsewhere.
Coming home should not mean facing the claim on your own.
Leaving the hospital can bring a new set of worries. You may still need treatment, help with everyday tasks, or time away from work. Whether you live in Orlando or were visiting, we can help you understand the claim while your medical team guides your care.
We keep your claim moving
With your authorization, we can request records from providers in Florida and your home state, follow up on missing information, and include continuing care in our assessment of the claim. We also explain any appointments or appearances the case requires so you can plan around treatment and family needs.
We investigate the cause so you can focus on care
After a
car crash
, we examine driver conduct and coverage. After a
fall on someone else’s property
, we investigate the unsafe condition and what the responsible party knew or should have known.
If the injury followed an attack
Our
Orlando negligent security lawyers
can investigate whether a failure to provide reasonable security contributed to the attack. We work to identify any responsible property owner or business and the evidence needed to pursue a claim.
Orlando Health publishes information about its
outpatient rehabilitation and concussion services
. Your provider can help you identify appropriate care; availability and coverage need to be checked.

Ask about your situation →The worries you can bring to us
You do not have to figure this out before calling.
It is okay to be unsure about the diagnosis, overwhelmed by bills, or worried that no one will understand. We can talk through those concerns and explain what they may mean for your case.
Can you review my case if the hospital called it a concussion?
Can you review my case if the hospital called it a concussion?
Yes. A concussion can disrupt work and daily life, and your concerns deserve a careful review. We listen to what changed, examine the medical records, and investigate who may be responsible. The evidence and applicable law determine what compensation we can pursue.
What if I already had headaches or a previous head injury?
What if I already had headaches or a previous head injury?
Tell us and your medical providers about your history. An earlier condition does not automatically rule out compensation for a new injury or worsening caused by this incident. We examine the before-and-after evidence and work to explain the difference, including responding if an insurer blames everything on the old condition.
I cannot remember the incident clearly. Does that end the claim?
I cannot remember the incident clearly. Does that end the claim?
No. You do not have to reconstruct the incident on your own. We look for witness accounts, reports, available video, and physical evidence that may help establish what happened. Tell us what you remember and where there are gaps; it is okay to say you do not know.
Can I get help with bills before the case settles?
Can I get help with bills before the case settles?
Tell us which bills are causing the most concern. We can review applicable auto medical benefits, health coverage, and denial notices, then explain the options that may help while the case proceeds. Payment depends on the coverage and circumstances, so bring what you have and we can start there.
What if the insurer says I was partly responsible?
What if the insurer says I was partly responsible?
An insurer’s accusation is not the last word. We examine the evidence and challenge an unsupported attempt to shift blame to you. In negligence cases covered by Florida’s comparative-fault rule, your share of fault can reduce compensation; being more than 50% responsible can bar recovery. We explain how the rule applies to your case.
Should I accept an offer while treatment is still changing?
Should I accept an offer while treatment is still changing?
We understand why an offer can feel like relief when bills are piling up. Before you decide, let us review what it covers and what rights the release would close. A final settlement can end the right to seek more money for the same injury. We explain the known losses and unanswered care questions, and negotiate for an amount that fairly reflects the supported claim.
