Contact us today to tell us what happened, and we will give you an honest answer about where your loved one’s case stands.
Brain injuries show up differently depending on how the accident happened, how hard the impact was, and where the damage sits. We handle claims involving:
These injuries result from motor vehicle accidents on Burlington Pike, I-71, I-75, and local roads, from falls on commercial and residential properties, at work, and elsewhere in Boone County.
A brain injury does not just send someone to the hospital. It may change what the rest of their life looks like.
The immediate costs are visible: ambulance rides, ER bills, imaging, neurology appointments, and rehabilitation. But the costs that follow are bigger and harder to predict. A person who cannot return to their job for six months, a year, or at all faces lost income that compounds every month. Families pay for home modifications, in-home care, and therapy sessions that insurance fights to cut short. The life your loved one, and your family, led before the accident is gone.

Brain injuries are harder to prove than a broken bone or a torn ligament because so much of the damage is invisible. Insurance adjusters know this, and they use it. They point to a normal-looking CT scan and argue the injury is not serious. They say symptoms are exaggerated or caused by something else.
We build the medical evidence from the start. That means coordinating with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists who can document the cognitive changes your family is living with every day. We connect treatment records to the accident so there is no gap for the insurance company to exploit. When future care costs need to be calculated, we work with life care planners who put specific dollar figures on what your family will need in 5, 10, or 20 years.
Medical records alone do not tell the full story. We also:
Every piece of that evidence is built to answer the one question the insurance company hopes you cannot: how bad is it, and what will it cost?
Most personal injury claims in Kentucky must be filed within one year of the injury. Motor vehicle accident claims have a two-year deadline. Missing either deadline almost always means losing your right to compensation entirely.
Yes. Kentucky uses a pure comparative negligence rule (KRS 411.182), which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from recovery. Even if you share some responsibility for the accident, you can still pursue a claim.
Every case is different. The value depends on the severity of the injury, how it affects your ability to work, the cost of ongoing treatment, and the impact on daily life. Kentucky does not cap compensatory damages in personal injury cases, which means there is no artificial limit on what you can recover for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and long-term quality-of-life changes.
Get medical attention first, even if symptoms seem minor. Brain injuries often show delayed symptoms that do not appear for days or weeks. Keep all medical records, take photos of the accident scene if you can, and do not give a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Civil personal injury cases in Burlington are filed in the Boone County Circuit Court, located at the Boone County Justice Center, 6025 Rogers Lane, Burlington, KY 41005. We handle cases there regularly and know the local filing requirements and process.
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. The consultation is free, and there is no cost to get started.
