John Crisp

Top notch firm. Christina Martin and Mariana Goff have been awesome. Always super nice and both explain every question in detail, so believe me when I say if you’re in a wreck, please don’t try to go it alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brain Injuries

Compensation from brain injuries can vary based on many factors. If you’ve suffered a brain injury in Kentucky or Tennessee, recovery for your damages could be dependent on:

Severity of the brain injury
Lost wages due to a brain injury
Circumstances surrounding the brain injury

Depending on whether your brain injury case goes to trial, a settlement for a brain injury can take anywhere from 12 months to three years in Kentucky or Tennessee. It’s important to get a personal injury attorney to help you navigate the legal aspects of getting a settlement for a brain injury, so you can focus on your recovery.

Brain injuries can occur in various situations. Some of the most common causes include:

Domestic violence
Vehicular accidents
Sports accidents
Falls
SBS or Shaken Baby Syndrome
Military or combat injuries

Getting a personal injury attorney to help you navigate the legal aspects of your case can help expedite the process as well as get you the compensation you deserve. While you can go up against large corporations and insurance companies alone, having an attorney fighting for you can help you focus on your recovery.

There are many types of brain injuries. Some forms exhibit symptoms right away while others do not immediately present evidence of injury. Either way, it is important to seek medical care immediately if you think that you may have a brain injury.

Some of the most common causes of brain injuries include:

Traumatic Brain Injury
Concussion
Coma
Internal bleeding around the brain
Contusions
Skull fractures
Permanent impairment
Hematoma near or on the brain

A mild brain injury will usually have symptoms that only last a couple of minutes or a couple of hours at a time but can persist for weeks. These types of injuries can occur from a small fall or even a minor car accident.

A brain injury that is considered moderate or even severe can lead to unconsciousness. This unconscious state can last for an unknown period of time and can take days, weeks, or months.

Typically, a severe brain injury can include a:

Vegetative state
Coma
Semi-consciousness
Inability to move or speak
Paralysis of the body

Brain injuries can lead to fatalities well after the inciting incident, so it is important that you receive medical attention even if you are unsure whether or not you need it. In many brain injury cases, a patient’s symptoms do not show up until days later. If you or someone you know has suffered a blow to the head contact a doctor immediately if any of the following symptoms develop.
