Johnson, P.S.C., our team has a strong track record of recovering compensation for brain injury victims throughout the state. We work to recover economic and non-economic damages on behalf of victims and their families.

• Economic damages. Sometimes referred to as special damages, these are the types of losses our team can calculate by examining receipts, invoices, estimates, and bills victims and their families receive after the incident occurs. We can use this to calculate:
  • Medical bills
  • Lost income and loss of future earnings
  • Property damage expenses
  • Out-of-pocket household costs
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation expenses
  • Medical devices and medication costs
• Non-economic damages. These are sometimes referred to as general damages and are not as easily calculable as the expenses just mentioned. These types of losses focus on the victim apostrophes physical, emotional, and psychological pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the injury and any lasting disability.

The total amount of compensation available for brain injury victims will vary depending on each particular injury circumstance. As your attorneys, our goal is to help recover compensation for your long-term expenses as well as all of your current needs. We know that brain injury victims often suffer from some form of lasting disability, and the final settlement or jury verdict should reflect those needs.

How Long Does a Brain Injury Claim Take to Conclude?

Understanding how long it will take for a brain injury claim in Florence to conclude can be confusing, but first, we should start by explaining that you need to file your claim promptly. In Kentucky, the personal entry statute of limitations is one year from the date an injury occurs. This is much shorter than other states around the country. Personal injury victims must file their claim within this one-year time frame. If they fail to do this, the case will likely get dismissed, leaving victims unable to recover compensation for their losses.

There is no set time for how long it will take your claim to resolve after it begins. Filing a brain injury claim in civil court is just the first step in the process. There will be a discovery period where attorneys for all parties involved will exchange information and take depositions of potential witnesses. Relatively straightforward brain injury claims could be resolved within a few months or a year, but that is no guarantee. Personal injury claims can take quite some time to conclude. We encourage you to speak to your attorney about your case if you would like a better understanding of what to expect in your situation.
