When a Life is Changed by a Brain Injury
Trust Miller & Durham for Help in Recovery
The Elizabethtown-area law firm of Miller & Durham offers sound legal advice and experienced representation to severely injured clients and their families throughout Central Kentucky. Our attorneys focus on helping clients in two ways: First, in the recovery of full and fair financial compensation in an insurance claim or lawsuit; and second, in planning for future care and long-term recovery after an accident or negligence causes a life-changing injury, such as a brain injury.
In brain injury cases, many times we are contacted by a spouse or parent whose loved one's life has forever been changed by another's negligent or reckless actions. A loss of consortium (or parental loss of consortium) claim may be an appropriate way to seek the financial compensation and support needed to care for a loved one.

Miller & Durham · Help After a Traumatic or Subtle Brain Injury · Contact Us
In a case of coma, persistent vegetative state (PVS), physical disability or severe cognitive impairment, the presence of traumatic injury to the brain is obvious. In some cases, however, a serious brain injury can be more difficult to diagnose. Some of the common signs of subtle brain injury include:
- Memory loss
- Slurred speech or changes in speech pattern
- Difficulty with balance and coordination
- Difficulty in reading, writing or completing tasks that require concentration
- Headaches
- Difficulty sleeping
- Changes in personality
Those these may be signs of hidden damage to the brain, many of these changes may also be a symptom of the mental anguish that can result from a serious accident and injury. If you have noticed any of these symptoms — especially following a concussion — it is vitally important to consult a competent neurologist, neuropsychologist or other medical specialist to determine if a subtle brain injury may be to blame.
