Traumatic Brain Injuries

Lexington, Kentucky

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most life-changing injuries you can suffer when involved in an accident. Recovery from a TBI is expensive and can take years of physical rehabilitation. In severe cases, you may never recover from a TBI.

When you suffer a serious injury due to someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to receive compensation for your losses. While this compensation may never be able to fully restore your ability to work or the quality of life you once enjoyed, it can greatly reduce the burden placed on you and your family. Experienced Lexington, Kentucky personal injury attorney James Vaught is prepared to help you and your family recover form your losses, allowing you to focus your energies on recovering physically.

Symptoms of TBI

TBI is a common result of any accident in which your head strikes a hard surface. Symptoms of TBI can take up to six months to manifest, making it important to seek medical attention after any accident, no matter how minor it may seem.

Symptoms of TBI include:

• Frequent headaches
• Severe mood swings
• Seizures
• Difficulties sleeping
• Sensory disturbances like visual impairment, and loss of taste or smell
• Impacted cognitive abilities like memory and concentration
• Difficulty speaking or expressing yourself

Some of these symptoms are common in other catastrophic injuries as well. Your medical provider will be able to perform tests to indicate if a TBI is responsible for your difficulties. If detected early, TBI can often be treated. However, surgery is sometimes required, and full recovery is never guaranteed. You may require therapy and expensive medical treatment for the rest of your life.
