THE SANDERS LAW FIRM

Brain Injury

If you have suffered a brain injury due to the negligent, careless actions of another person, you may be entitled to compensation. The brain injury lawyers at The Sanders Law Firm are educated and knowledgeable about the types of brain injuries that can occur, are aware of the complications that arise from brain injuries, and the medical care required to properly treat brain injuries.

Injuries to the brain can be difficult to recognize or diagnose. Brain injuries, especially closed head traumas, can be hidden and may not become visible for hours, days or even weeks after the incident that caused the trauma to the brain.  It is possible that symptoms will not occur until the brain begins to swell or bleed. A person could believe they have a minor head injury if there is no visible injury to the head and no significant symptoms. Hours following the incident, even days or weeks after the incident, you could start displaying symptoms, such as the inability to communicate or multi-task as you did prior to the head trauma, you could have difficulty with speech or vision, erratic mood swings, personality and behavioral changes. If you have experienced any of these symptoms following a blow to the head, it is very important that you be immediately examined by a doctor. After you are in a stable medical condition, you should then seek and retain the best Kentucky brain injury lawyer.

The Sanders Law firm brain injury attorneys have helped countless clients that have suffered injuries to the brain. Over the past 30 years, our attorneys have won millions for brain injury victims and their families. Brain injury can result from trauma (a forceful blow to the head), severe infections, anesthesia errors, and birth incidents. The lawyers of The Sanders Law Firm have extensive experience and expertise in dealing with all the various kinds of brain injury victims and their specific special needs.

Our attorneys have handled many cases for babies who sustained hypoxic or ischemic brain injuries at birth. Referred to as “birth trauma,” this type of injury occurs when a baby fails to descend the birth canal normally and the attending obstetrician fails to perform a timely Caesarian delivery. In such incidents, a baby’s brain can be deprived of oxygen-carrying blood, resulting in the death of brain cells.  Birth trauma can leave a child with many kinds of handicaps and a lifetime of special, expensive medical care needs. Our attorneys can get your child the help that he or she needs.

No settlement or jury verdict will reverse the effects of brain injury, but the money we recover for you can help you with medical expenses, physical therapy, wage replacement, personal assistance, and household bills. The law says you are entitled to compensation if the injury was caused by someone else’s careless error. It is the right thing to do.
