Causes of Brain Injuries We Commonly Handle

Our traumatic brain injury attorneys investigate the cause, identify all liable parties, and build a strong case for recovery. Common sources include:

• Motor vehicle crashes: car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, pedestrian, and bicycle collisions
• Falls: slip and falls, trip and falls, unsafe premises, stairway and deck failures
• Workplace accidents: construction site injuries, falls from heights, struck-by incidents, equipment failures
• Violence and assaults: negligent security and unsafe property claims
• Sports and recreation accidents
• Medical negligence leading to hypoxia or anesthesia-related brain injury

If negligence caused your TBI, our Kansas City brain injury lawyers will work to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Symptoms and Long-Term Effects of TBI

No two brain injuries are alike. Symptoms can be subtle at first and worsen over time. You should seek medical attention immediately and follow through with all recommended care.

Common effects include:

• Physical: headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light/noise, balance problems, sleep disruption, seizures
• Cognitive: memory loss, reduced attention, slowed thinking, trouble with planning and decision-making
• Emotional/behavioral: mood swings, depression, anxiety, irritability, impulsivity, PTSD
• Functional impact: difficulty returning to work or school, driving, managing finances, or caring for family

These challenges can last months, years, or a lifetime. A seasoned TBI lawyer factors long-term care, future wages, and life-care planning into your claim.

Your Legal Rights and Compensation in Kansas and Missouri

Brain injury victims in Kansas and Missouri have the right to pursue compensation when another party’s negligence causes harm. The laws in each state affect timelines and damages, so prompt action matters.

Potential compensation may include:

• Medical bills: ER visits, hospitalization, surgery, imaging, medications
• Rehabilitation: physical, occupational, and speech therapy; cognitive rehab; assistive devices
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• Home and vehicle modifications, in-home care, and life-care plans
• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
• Wrongful death damages for eligible family members when a TBI is fatal

Insurers often undervalue brain injury claims. A knowledgeable traumatic brain injury attorney protects your rights, coordinates expert evaluations, and pursues the full value of your case—whether through settlement or trial.
