A brain injury does not always show up on the day it happens. Headaches, memory gaps, and mood changes can surface later. Yet, the insurance company may already be asking for a statement from you.
Scott Best Law represents Union traumatic brain injury clients from its Florence office.
We price the full injury first, including the care you may need years from now. That way you have a well-supported financial projection before you consider a settlement. Contact us today to set up a free, no-obligation consultation and learn more about your rights and legal options.

Kentucky gives many injury victims just one year from the injury to file a lawsuit (KRS 413.140). If a car or truck crash caused the injury, the deadline may stretch to two years (KRS 304.39-230). Those two years run from the crash or from your last no-fault payment, whichever comes later. No-fault payments are the medical and wage money that the auto insurance covering your vehicle pays first, no matter who caused the crash.
If you miss the deadline, the claim usually ends, even if you were seriously hurt. Some people may get extra time. For example, the clock can be paused for a child, or for someone who could not manage their own affairs when they were hurt. Claims against government agencies can also follow different rules. Do not count on extra time without talking to a lawyer.
A brain injury makes that clock hard to watch. Memory trouble and fatigue can be symptoms of the injury itself, and the paperwork piles up fast. A Union traumatic brain injury lawyer can track the deadline when you cannot.
Filing a lawsuit does not mean settlement talks stop. Once you hire us, we can file before the statute of limitations (the legal filing deadline) runs out and keep negotiating while the case moves forward.

A brain injury claim can start with a crash, a fall, or another accident. We take on cases that involve:
If your injury or symptom does not match one of these, send it to us anyway. Every brain injury is unique, and we are here to help you figure out your options.
Kentucky gives many injury victims one year to file, and car crash victims may get two years from the accident or their last no-fault payment, whichever is later. However, evidence can disappear, and the insurance company may start building its file on day one. Therefore, it’s important to schedule a free consultation with a Union traumatic brain injury lawyer as soon as possible.
Keep every medical record, photo, and bill, and write down each symptom with its date. Do not post about the accident or injury on social media. Do not give the other side’s insurance company a recorded statement until you have talked with us.
It depends on your medical bills so far, the care you will need later, and the income you lose. It also depends on how the injury changes daily life. Anyone who names a number before your doctors finish treating you is giving you an early estimate that can change. We build the figure from your records.
That can happen with brain injuries. See a doctor and mention every symptom, even small ones like light sensitivity or trouble finding words. Those records can help show that the symptoms came from the injury, and we use them to show the insurance company the full picture.
No-fault coverage may pay first after a motor vehicle crash. In most cases, it is the policy on the vehicle you were in.. No-fault benefits cover medical bills and lost wages up to its limit, no matter who caused the accident. If your medical expenses pass $1,000 or the injury is permanent, you can also bring a claim against the at-fault driver for the rest, including pain and suffering. This applies unless you chose to opt out of the no-fault system before the crash. A diagnosed brain injury commonly meets that threshold, and we check it early.
A spouse, parent, or other family member can contact us on their behalf. If the injured person cannot make decisions, a court may need to name someone to act for them. We explain that step and keep the deadline in view while it happens.
If the person who caused your injury lives in Union or the accident that caused your brain injury occurred in Union, then a lawsuit is usually filed in Boone Circuit Court. The court sits inside the Boone County Justice Center at 6025 Rogers Lane in Burlington.
