Understanding the different types of Louisville brain injury cases we handle
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI)
A mild TBI often occurs in car accidents or falls, leading to symptoms like blurred vision, headaches, dizziness, and memory loss. The name of the condition is a little misleading because a mTBI can cause significant, lasting brain injury. It is referred to as mild because CT or MRI scans tend to be read as “normal.” However, a mTBI can still cause structural changes to the brain, and the symptoms can be permanent and life-changing.
Moderate traumatic brain injury
A moderate TBI can cause chronic headaches, memory issues, speech difficulties, and mobility challenges. These injuries often require extended medical treatment, including emergency surgery, therapy, and rehabilitation. Typically moderate TBIs are associated with longer periods of loss of consciousness and significant lasting symptoms. Without proper care, impairments can be permanent.
Severe traumatic brain injury
A severe TBI can lead to prolonged unconsciousness, cognitive decline, loss of speech, and permanent disabilities. Victims may require lifelong medical care, affecting their ability to work and enjoy daily life. These cases demand aggressive legal representation to ensure full compensation for ongoing medical needs.
Potential damages you can recover in a Louisville brain injury case
Our Louisville brain injury lawyers will work to hold the negligent party financially responsible and pursue all possible forms of compensation, including:
- Economic damages – Medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, long-term care, and other financial losses.
- Non-economic damages – Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and permanent disability.
- Punitive damages – Additional compensation in cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
We will carefully evaluate your case and ensure you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Important state laws that may affect your brain injury claim
Comparative fault rule (KRS § 411.182)
Kentucky follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you share fault for the accident. For example, if you are 20% responsible, your recovery will be reduced by 20%. (See KRS § 411.182).
No cap on damages
Unlike some states, Kentucky does not limit the amount of noneconomic or punitive damages in personal injury cases.
Statute of limitations (KRS § 413.140)
In most cases, you have one year from the date of injury to file a claim. Missing this deadline could result in losing your right to seek compensation. (See KRS § 413.140). Certain claims, like automobile claims, products liability claims, and wrongful death claims, can have a longer period to file. Each claim is factually specific and an attorney should be consulted right away to prevent missing the time period to pursue a claim.
