If you suffer a brain injury in an accident, your life will be forever changed.

At Schuler Law Office, we understand the challenges you face and the life-altering struggle you must endure. Our Louisville brain injury lawyer is here to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
A brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. The damage can occur inside the skull or on the surface of the brain, and it can vary in severity. The most common types of brain injuries are concussions, which can cause temporary loss of consciousness and/or memory loss. Other types of brain injuries include skull fractures, bleeding in the brain, and damage to the brain's nerves, muscles, and tissues.
If you suffer a traumatic brain injury, you will likely experience a number of symptoms. Symptoms can vary from person to person and can even vary from accident to accident. Some common symptoms of brain injuries include:
Loss of consciousness
Loss of memory
Dizziness
Confusion
Drowsiness
Nausea
Vomiting
Blurred vision
Double vision
Headaches
and more.
If you hit your head in an accident and you suffer from any of these symptoms, you may have suffered a traumatic brain injury. Even if you do not experience any symptoms, you should still seek medical attention if you have suffered a blow to the head in an accident.
Long-Term Effects of Brain Injuries
A brain injury can cause a wide range of permanent disabilities, including difficulties with:
Speech or communication
Memory
Reasoning
Coordination
Balance
Vision
Hearing
Impulse control
Sleep
A traumatic brain injury can also cause a coma. A coma is a state of unconsciousness that lasts for more than one day. If a coma lasts for more than a week, the chances of survival drop dramatically.
