A traumatic brain or spinal cord injury is one of the most devastating experiences a person and their family can face. These injuries often lead to lifelong disability, loss of independence, and significant financial strain. Victims must adjust to new realities that affect every part of daily life — from mobility and employment to emotional well-being.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne are dedicated to helping Kentuckians who have suffered brain and spine injuries caused by negligence. Their mission is to ensure victims receive the medical care, financial support, and justice they deserve.
Understanding Brain and Spine Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury occurs when the brain suffers a sudden blow, jolt, or penetration. Even a seemingly mild concussion can have lasting effects. More severe TBIs can cause permanent cognitive, behavioral, and physical impairments.
Common causes of TBIs include:
- Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
- Falls from unsafe property conditions
- Sports or recreational accidents
- Workplace and construction site injuries
- Medical negligence or oxygen deprivation during surgery
Symptoms can range from headaches, confusion, and memory loss to seizures, loss of coordination, and personality changes.
Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when trauma damages the nerves responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the body. Depending on the location and severity, victims may suffer partial or complete paralysis.
Spinal injuries can result from:
- Vehicle collisions
- Falls from heights or unsafe structures
- Acts of violence or assault
- Surgical or anesthesia errors
- Defective products or unsafe equipment
The lifelong medical and personal care costs associated with spinal injuries can reach millions of dollars — making strong legal representation essential.
The Long-Term Impact of Catastrophic Injuries
Brain and spine injuries don’t just affect the body — they change every aspect of a person’s life. Victims may face:
- Loss of mobility or independence
- Inability to work or pursue their career
- Chronic pain or neurological symptoms
- Emotional distress, depression, or anxiety
- Strained family relationships
- Need for home modifications or adaptive technology
Families often bear the emotional and financial burden, stepping into caregiving roles while managing medical bills and insurance disputes. Moore Payne Law helps ease this burden by pursuing compensation that addresses both immediate and long-term needs.
Proving Liability in Brain and Spine Injury Cases
Determining who is responsible for a catastrophic injury requires a detailed investigation. Moore Payne Law’s attorneys work tirelessly to uncover the truth.
They gather and analyze:
- Accident reports and witness statements
- Medical records and diagnostic scans
- Expert testimony from neurologists and rehabilitation specialists
- Evidence of negligence, such as unsafe property conditions or reckless driving
- Employment and insurance documentation to calculate financial losses
Their comprehensive approach ensures that every potential source of compensation is identified — from negligent drivers to property owners, employers, or product manufacturers.
Compensation for Victims
Victims of brain and spinal injuries often face staggering expenses. A successful claim can help cover:
- Medical treatment and hospitalization
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Home healthcare and assistive devices
- Lost income and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Future care costs for ongoing treatment and adaptive needs
In tragic cases where negligence leads to death, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death compensation for their loss.
