Traumatic Brain Injuries Can Lead to Lifelong Impairments
When a victim experiences a strike to the head or any jarring impact, they run the risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Depending on the severity of the TBI, victims can initially suffer such side effects as the following:
- Headaches
- Loss of balance and dizziness
- Confusion
- Nausea
- Sensitivity to light
From there, the symptoms and dangers of permanent injury escalate. Victims may lose consciousness, experience sensory issues, and have difficulty communicating and concentrating. There is also the possibility of severe mood changes and seizures.
In extreme cases, the TBI can inflict permanent damage on the brain or possibly cause death if left untreated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 214,000 patients were hospitalized for a TBI, and more than 69,000 died from a TBI in 2021.
If you believe you have suffered a TBI or have shown any symptoms of one after an accident, see a doctor immediately for a diagnosis. Miami Valley Hospital provides a level-one trauma center. Early detection could make a significant difference in your recovery.

File Your Ohio TBI Lawsuit Before the Statute of Limitations Expires
Ohio law limits your right to file a personal injury lawsuit with the Montgomery County courthouse to generally two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10.
If you do not file your lawsuit on time, the court could prohibit you from filing it at all, leaving you with no further legal recourse that compels the at-fault party to compensate you.
Similarly, the wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02, with the same consequences for non-compliance.

How a Kettering TBI Lawyer Proves the Key Elements of Negligence
Recovering damages for a negligence-based accident means proving its legal elements. Our legal team will collect evidence that proves the following:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of reasonable care
- The at-fault party’s actions breached their legal and professional duty
- The accident would not have happened without their breach
- The accident resulted in negative financial consequences for you
Our results-driven team knows how to prove negligence caused your TBI. We will collect the evidence you need to build the most substantial possible case file, including:
- Police, fire, and first responder reports
- Lay and expert witness statements
- Photos, video, and smartphone footage
- Accident reconstruction reports
Our team members and investigators will compile evidence that proves the causes and contributing factors of your traumatic brain injury.
We Collect Evidence that Proves the Value of Your Compensation Request
Your TBI claim consists of individual damages that we document for you. This portion of your evidence collection will include:
- Medical bills: Treating a TBI can mean emergency and ongoing medical care. We collect the bills from your medical care, including rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, and assistive medical devices.
- Proof of income: We will collect your paycheck stubs, direct deposit receipts, and other evidence of lost wages. Our team members can also help you document hard-to-prove income like gig work.
- Property repair bills: We collect the bills and receipts for repairing your property or defining its diminished value. We also collect definitive proof of the replacement value of any property deemed a total loss.
Leave evidence collection to us. We can obtain evidence you find hard to access on your own or emotionally challenging.
