Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have a devastating effect on those injured and their families. Even a minor head or brain injury can profoundly impact a person’s speech, memory, and other cognitive abilities, leading to significant upheaval in their family life and ability to work.
If another person or organization was negligent and caused the accident that resulted in you or a loved one sustaining a TBI, a Florence traumatic brain injury lawyer from our personal injury team can help you pursue compensation.
Our TBI Lawyers Simplify the Legal Process and Work on a No Win, No Fee Basis
To make a successful TBI accident claim, you must show that another party is responsible for causing the accident that resulted in your injury. However, managing a complex legal case can be draining emotionally and financially and is one of the reasons injured victims seek legal representation.

Damages You May Claim in a TBI Case
To claim damages, you will need to provide evidence of your losses. While this may seem straightforward for expenses with a set cost, such as medical bills, it can be more challenging for intangible losses such as pain and suffering.
Our Florence traumatic brain injury lawyers can help you determine the full extent of your injuries. We will also calculate the cost of any future damages, such as reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to work.
To give you an idea of what compensation is available, we typically seek recovery for the following types of financial damages on behalf of our clients:
Economic Damages
Economic damages are the monetary losses you have because of your injuries. They may include medical and rehabilitation bills, loss of past and future earnings, or costs associated with your ongoing care needs, such as specialist equipment or adaptations required at home.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are more difficult to quantify because they are subjective and intangible. They are awarded to compensate for a person’s suffering, emotional distress, and inconvenience due to the accident.
For example, if your injuries prevent you from engaging in certain activities you used to enjoy before the accident, you could receive non-economic damages.
We Handle Brain Injury Cases Across a Wide Spectrum of Scenarios
Our traumatic brain injury lawyers serving Florence help people who have suffered TBIs in many different scenarios. Some of the causes of injury cases we pursue stem from:
- Vehicle accidents: Drivers owe other motorists a duty of care. Actions like speeding or distracted driving fall under negligent behaviors.
- Slip and fall accidents: Property owners must maintain their properties and remove hazards. Some common reasons for slips or trips and falls include uneven floors and spills.
- Medical malpractice: Medical professionals, like physicians and surgeons, must provide reasonable levels of care to their patients. Some professionals act in negligent or reckless ways that harm people, while others may fail to act in a certain way, and this inaction can lead to injury or death.
Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive. Whatever the cause of your accident, if you believe someone else’s negligence resulted in your TBI, we can likely help you seek compensation.
How Long Do I Have to File a TBI Accident Lawsuit?
The time you have to file a civil lawsuit for a TBI accident in Kentucky will depend on how your brain injury happened, as follows:
- TBIs resulting from a car accident: two years, per Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230
- TBIs resulting from other accidents: one year, per Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1)
Other exceptions may apply that could affect the time you have to file, so discussing your situation with our team may be beneficial. If you have any questions about filing or want to know more about your legal options, we are happy to help.
Brain Injuries Can Be Difficult to Recognize
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), brain injury symptoms can be difficult to recognize because they are similar to other health conditions. It is essential to seek medical advice following any head injury, especially if you experience any of these symptoms:
- Dizziness, balance issues, or loss of coordination
- Light sensitivity and/or unevenly dilated pupils
- Difficulty concentrating
- Problems with speech or vision
- Problems with short- or long-term memory
- Nausea or vomiting
- Headaches
- Unusual mood changes involving anxiety, anger, or sadness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Loss of consciousness
- Lack of energy or unusual, persistent fatigue
- Changes in sleep patterns
Having your symptoms properly diagnosed and treated can give you peace of mind and help to prevent further harm. It can also help you from a legal perspective, as your lawyer can use your medical records regarding the TBI as evidence to link the accident to your injuries. This may be an essential part of proving your case.
