Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuits Overview

The defense argument in TBI cases is almost always the same: the injury is exaggerated, the symptoms are psychological, and the person could work a desk job.

Countering it requires someone who can engage at the scientific level. Traumatic brain injury is frequently called the invisible injury because standard CT scans can appear normal while the brain has sustained significant damage. Defense medical experts routinely argue that symptoms are fabricated, pre-existing, or psychological rather than neurological. Establishing the true nature and extent of a TBI requires advanced imaging such as diffusion tensor imaging MRI, neuropsychological testing, and expert testimony that can stand up to aggressive cross-examination.

“The defense's doctor will tell the jury the injury is exaggerated. We are prepared to follow them into the neuroscience and show the jury why that is wrong.”

Know Your Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuits Rights

Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Law in plain language.

If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury, the sooner we can review your situation, the more options you have.

Your Right to Compensation for Both Visible and Invisible Effects of the Injury.

Kentucky law permits recovery for all economic and noneconomic losses caused by a traumatic brain injury. This includes medical expenses past and future, all lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, cognitive and behavioral changes that affect daily life and relationships, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Kentucky imposes no cap on any of these damages. The challenge in TBI cases is proving the invisible effects of the injury with the scientific rigor necessary to withstand a defense challenge.



Your Right to Challenge the Defense's Medical Experts.

Defense insurers routinely retain neurologists and psychiatrists who testify that TBI symptoms are exaggerated, pre-existing, or psychological in origin. These experts can be challenged through cross-examination that requires understanding the neuroscience they are testifying about.

Traumatic Brain Injury Questions

  • A normal CT or standard MRI does not rule out a serious traumatic brain injury. Diffuse axonal injury, the most common form of moderate to severe TBI caused by rotational or deceleration forces, often does not appear on standard imaging. Diffusion tensor imaging and neuropsychological testing are more sensitive tools for detecting and documenting this type of damage. A normal scan that was obtained in the emergency department shortly after the accident does not mean the injury did not occur.

  • Yes. Personality change, emotional dysregulation, increased irritability, difficulty with impulse control, and changes in social behavior are recognized neurological consequences of traumatic brain injury. They are also among the most damaging to families and relationships. Testimony from family members, neuropsychologists, and treating physicians documents these changes. They are compensable as part of the noneconomic damages in a TBI claim.

  • All past and future medical expenses including neurological care, cognitive rehabilitation, psychological treatment, and medication over a lifetime. All lost wages and reduced earning capacity. Pain and suffering. Emotional distress. Cognitive and behavioral impairment. Loss of enjoyment of life. Loss of consortium for a spouse. Kentucky imposes no cap.
