Legal Help for the Injured
A brain injury can dramatically change your life in seconds. Whether it results from a car crash on I-77, a slip-and-fall in Downtown Canton, or complications after a medical procedure, the effects can be severe and long-lasting. From physical impairments to cognitive challenges, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) often require costly, ongoing care—and can impact every part of your life.
At Kisling, Nestico & Redick (KNR), we know that even a seemingly minor head injury can lead to major consequences. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, someone in the U.S. sustains a brain injury every nine seconds. Each year, approximately 2.6 million Americans live with a brain injury caused by trauma, stroke, tumor, or illness—and over 52,000 tragically lose their lives.
Our Canton injury attorneys have experience helping clients retain the best care and outcome for their brain injury cases. Whether you’ve sustained a concussion from a car accident or seizures from medication complications, call us today at (330) 488-1234 for a free case evaluation. We will review your options and explain what you can expect.

As the control center of the body, any disruption to the brain’s function can affect memory, motor skills, speech, and behavior. That’s why you need experienced legal advocates who understand both the medical and legal complexities of these injuries.
KNR’s Canton brain injury lawyers have helped hundreds of clients across Stark County recover compensation for:
With 750+ years of combined legal experience, a proven track record of success, and 12 locations across Ohio, KNR is committed to helping injury victims move forward.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can happen almost anywhere—and often when least expected. In Canton and the surrounding Stark County area, some of the most common causes include:
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a bump, blow, jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury that can disrupt the normal functions of the brain and cause concussions. An acquired brain injury (ABI) occurs at the cellular level and is most often the result of pressure on the brain.
The severity of a TBI may range from mild to severe. Sustaining a TBI does not necessarily mean a person loses consciousness.
What makes traumatic brain injuries so complex is that their symptoms are sometimes delayed or internal. Common specific brain injuries identified by Healthline medical experts include:
If you have been in an accident in Ohio in which you have experienced force or whiplash, you may be experiencing traumatic brain injury symptoms and you see a qualified medical professional immediately. Then, you need to get in touch with our Canton personal injury lawyers, who can help pursue compensation for the best possible care during your recovery.
Symptoms of traumatic brain injury can manifest as physical, psychological, and cognitive issues. These brain injury symptoms include:
Typically, symptoms of concussions dissipate within several weeks. These symptoms are considered milder forms of brain injury, according to experts at Ohio State University. However, more severe brain injuries can cause post-concussion syndrome (PCS), which can have many longer-lasting effects.
Mercy Medical Center in Canton, Ohio, is a leading rehabilitation center for victims of traumatic brain injury. Thankfully, Ohio has no shortage of qualified medical experts, but access to this expertise can be expensive, long term, and fraught with challenges.
If you’ve sustained even a mild brain injury, you may have to take a leave of absence from work; more severe brain injuries can result in longer-term pain and attention. Canton brain injury attorneys at KNR can help pursue access to care through a brain injury settlement case.

Fight for Everything You’re Owed
If you or a loved one sustained a brain injury, you may be able to open a brain injury case. Medical treatment and rehab related to traumatic brain injuries are often long term and can be incredibly costly. That is why it is important to seek payment for damages if you believe you are not at fault for your brain injuries.
KNR’s brain injury lawyers can guide you through the legal process, help you get treatment, negotiate with the insurance company, and fight for everything you deserve.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is not just a short-term medical emergency—it’s often a lifelong condition that creates ongoing physical, emotional, and financial burdens. While immediate treatment at local facilities like Aultman Hospital or Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital may involve emergency care, hospitalization, or surgery, the real cost of a TBI usually extends far beyond the initial incident.
Expenses Associated with Brain Injuries:
According to the CDC, the lifetime cost of treating a severe TBI can exceed $3 million, depending on the age of the victim, injury severity, and ongoing care needs. This makes it vital to secure full and fair compensation that accounts for both immediate and future expenses.
If you or a loved one suffered a TBI due to someone else’s negligence—whether from a car accident on I-77, a fall in Downtown Canton, or a workplace incident in Plain Township—you may be eligible to recover damages through a personal injury lawsuit.
KNR’s Canton TBI lawyers can help you pursue:
If a loved one passed away due to a traumatic brain injury, KNR can help you file a wrongful death claim in Stark County. These cases aim to provide justice and financial relief for:
Insurance companies may try to minimize your compensation by:
In Ohio, your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault, and you may be barred from recovery if your fault exceeds 50%. That’s why early legal representation is critical to protecting your claim and future.
Proving the long-term impact of a TBI requires more than just medical records. KNR works with expert witnesses across Ohio to clearly demonstrate the extent of harm and financial need:
Medical Experts – Neurologists and specialists who explain the injury and prognosis
These expert evaluations help build a strong case and ensure you receive the maximum compensation available under Ohio law.

KNR has helped numerous brain injury victims in the Canton area get the compensation they need. For example, KNR represented a 44-year-old man who suffered a traumatic brain injury after being struck by a car. We obtained a $275,000 settlement on his behalf.
To show the full extent of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), your legal team can use diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT scans), medical records, and expert testimony from neurologists or cognitive specialists. At KNR, we help clients build strong claims that reflect both short- and long-term damages.
If your loved one is incapacitated, a guardian or legal representative can file a personal injury lawsuit on their behalf. Our Canton attorneys will help you navigate guardianship or power of attorney issues to protect their legal rights.
Under Ohio law, most brain injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date. Failing to act within this time frame may forfeit your right to compensation, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after the accident.
Most brain injury cases are resolved through negotiated settlements. However, if insurers don’t offer fair compensation, KNR is fully prepared to represent you in court—often through the Stark County Common Pleas Court—to pursue maximum compensation.
At KNR, our Canton brain injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay us anything upfront. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you through a settlement or trial verdict.
Yes. A brain injury claim in Canton can include damages for long-term rehabilitation, assistive devices, home modifications, and in-home care. KNR will work with medical experts and life care planners to calculate these future expenses and include them in your claim.
If your TBI occurred on the job—such as at a construction site or manufacturing facility—you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits and potentially a third-party personal injury claim if negligence was involved. Our team can help you explore all available legal options.
By gathering evidence, working with expert witnesses, and calculating your current and future losses, KNR builds a compelling claim for full compensation. We also handle all communication with insurers to avoid lowball offers and ensure you’re not taken advantage of.
