Seeking Compensation After Severe Brain Injuries
Brain injuries are among the most severe injuries that people can suffer in motor vehicle accidents. Concussions are a form of brain injury, and the damage may be underestimated immediately following an accident. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can also differ in severity depending on the location and the extent of the injury. In some cases, brain injuries like subdural hematomas can become worse – and even fatal – over time. Medical intervention is necessary – and expensive.
At Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC, we have more than 60 years of combined experience in personal injury law. We are a compassionate law firm, but we are also aggressive in helping victims here in Lexington and throughout Kentucky seek the full compensation they deserve. It can be risky to accept an initial settlement, which may not cover future medical costs or a long-term reduction in wages. Our lawyers can help you examine your options, provide documentation and medical evidence, determine the full costs you are facing after the accident and explore your legal options.
What Costs May You Face After A Brain Injury?
If you’ve been involved in a car accident or a truck accident and suffered a TBI, you could be facing numerous financial damages, such as:
- The cost of immediate emergency care
- Lost wages in the days around the accident
- Lost earning potential or a lost earning capacity if you have long-term symptoms that impact your ability to earn a living
- Long-term care costs, such as medication or rehabilitation
- For severe brain injuries, the cost of in-home care or long-term daily assistance
As attorneys with more than six decades of combined legal experience, we understand the in and outs of the law, and we know how to present your case to seek full compensation. We will work tirelessly to seek justice for the injured.
