Paducah Brain Injury Lawyer
The brain is the most important part of the body, but it’s also one of the most delicate organs. Even though the skull may seem like it is impenetrable, it is not. The brain can be easily damaged, which can result in serious long-term disabilities.
Relatively mild or soft blows to the head can cause complex and significant cognitive damage that can last for years or even the rest of your life. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a common cause of death and disability in our country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Approximately 138 people in the United States die from injuries that include TBI each day.
If you or someone you love in Paducah is the victim of a serious brain injury, you know how difficult it is to recover the quality of life you were accustomed to before the accident. TBIs can devastate a person’s ability to perform at work, maintain close relationships, and engage in the activities that previously brought them joy in life.
While a lawsuit cannot heal the severity of traumatic brain injury, our brain injury attorneys at Morgan & Morgan can fight on your behalf to try and secure your family the compensation needed to pay for expensive medical care, cover loss of income, and more.
If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury, we may be able to help. To learn more about how our Paducah brain injury attorneys may be able to help you, please fill out our free case evaluation form today.

Common Causes of TBIs
Traumatic brain injuries range widely in how they occur and how severely they impact the victim of the injury. The majority of TBIs are mild concussions which temporarily impact a person’s mental status or consciousness, according to the CDC. Severe TBIs will cause an extended period of unconsciousness, memory loss, and other forms of cognitive disability.
The leading causes of TBI, according to data gathered by the CDC, include:
- Falls;
- Unintentional Blunt Trauma;
- Motor Vehicle Crashes;
- Assaults; and
- Sports and Recreational Injuries.
Symptoms of TBIs
A TBI can result in a variety of physical and psychological symptoms, and not all of them appear immediately after the accident. However, the most common symptoms of a severe traumatic injury include:
- Loss of consciousness;
- Persistent headache;
- Vomiting and nausea;
- Convulsions;
- Seizures;
- Dilation of pupils;
- Fluids draining from nose or ears;
- Loss of coordination;
- Confusion;
- Coma;
- Slurred speech; and
- Agitation.
If you have experienced any of these symptoms following an injury to the head, visit your doctor right away.
How a Paducah Brain Injury Attorney Can Help
Our brain injury attorneys in Paducah have years of experience handling lawsuits on behalf of victims of traumatic brain injuries. We will work with you and your family to hold the person who caused your brain injury responsible for their actions and prove the severity of your injuries.
Your attorney will investigate the accident and collect evidence to show that another person’s negligence was to blame for your injury, whether you sustained your brain injury through a car accident, fall, or trauma.
Our experienced attorneys will also review your medical records to ensure that the compensation you seek for your injuries can cover all future medical expenses, and if necessary, the loss of your earning capacity.
