The brain is the control center of the body. Therefore, even seemingly minor injuries can have major consequences. Brain injuries affect your physical and mental capacity and overall quality of life.
A traumatic brain injury is a head injury that disrupts the brain’s normal functions. The severity of a TBI may range from “mild” to “severe.” And data shows that the top three causes of traumatic brain injury are car accidents, firearms, and falls.
There are a few tools that medical practitioners use to diagnose a traumatic brain injury. One of the most common is the Glasgow Coma Scale. This is a 15-point scale based on overall social capability or dependence on others. The test measures motor, verbal, and eye-opening responses. This lets medical professionals gauge the severity of a traumatic brain injury.
A mild TBI or concussion can happen in countless scenarios. A concussion from a car accident is very common, and the symptoms may take hours or days to appear fully. This makes misdiagnosis a severe concern.
Many people are not immediately aware that they suffered a concussion. If you were recently in a car accident and believe you may be suffering a concussion, you need to seek medical treatment.
You can even suffer a mild TBI or concussion without hitting your head. The neck experiences a whiplash-type injury, and the brain moves inside the skull after the head stops. Other common causes of traumatic brain injuries include:
Traumatic brain injuries can take many forms. Some examples of head injuries you might experience after a severe accident include:
Common signs you might have suffered a traumatic brain injury following an accident in Columbus include:
Brain injuries affect who you are and how you think, act, and feel. Most mild TBIs will resolve over time. However, a person can experience many changes in more severe TBI cases.
There are indicators that medical teams use for prognosis:
Recovering from a traumatic brain injury varies greatly based on the individual and nature of the brain injury.
In Columbus, the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center is nationally recognized in rehabilitative care for people with traumatic and nontraumatic brain injuries. However, even with the leading rehab programs, recovery can take months or even years.

Lucha por todo lo que te corresponde
If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury in Franklin County because someone was negligent, you deserve to hold the liable party accountable. KNR can guide you through the legal process, help you get treatment, negotiate with the insurance company, and fight for everything you deserve.
A TBI lawsuit can help you recover your:
KNR has helped numerous brain injury victims recover compensation. For example, KNR represented a 44-year-old man who suffered a TBI after being struck by a car. We obtained a $275,000 settlement on his behalf.
You may have the opportunity to file an insurance claim for your brain injury if the defendant carries insurance coverage. However, many times, insurance coverage is not sufficient. For this reason, you should always be prepared to file a brain injury lawsuit to fully recover your damages.
The type of accident involved will generally indicate who could be at fault for your injuries. But there may be more than one person or insurance policy involved. Your attorney will be tasked with proving the defendant’s liability to secure the necessary compensation.
Some parties commonly named in traumatic brain injury lawsuits include:
After retaining an attorney, the claims process can vary depending on the circumstances. Usually, if the defendant has insurance coverage, your attorney will handle negotiating with the insurance company on your behalf. This way, you do not risk being taken advantage of.
However, since most insurance settlements are insufficient to meet an injury victim’s needs, you should be prepared to bring your case to trial. Although you may be able to settle outside of court, if your case goes to trial, it may be the best way to recover maximal compensation for your suffering.
You may also pursue compensation if your loved ones suffered a traumatic brain injury they eventually succumbed to. Filing a wrongful death lawsuit may be the best way to recover the decedent’s medical expenses, funeral costs, and ensure the surviving family members are compensated for their suffering.

You should be able to heal from your traumatic brain injury and learn to live with any lasting symptoms without having to deal with a challenging lawsuit or insurance claim. Our Columbus brain injury attorneys at Kisling, Nestico & Redick are here to help.
The Ohio statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. If your brain injury lawsuit is not filed before then, you will lose your right to have your case heard in civil court.
Ohio is a modified comparative negligence state. If your portion of fault does not go beyond 50%, you can expect your injury settlement to be reduced to account for your percentage of fault.
You may need to be prepared to go to court if your insurance settlement does not meet your needs. You might also have to go to trial if the defendant does not carry insurance coverage.
