Compassion in care. Relentless in pursuit.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can change life in an instant. From headaches and memory loss to permanent disability, the effects reach far beyond the injured person. Families face mounting medical bills, lost income, and the uncertainty of what recovery may look like.
When your future feels unclear, you need more than a lawyer who understands the law—you need an advocate who understands your struggle.
At Lukov Injury Law LLC, you’ll work directly with Abby Lukov, not a case manager or a call center. With over 16 years of experience handling injury cases across Louisiana, Abby knows how to fight insurance companies, present the full impact of a brain injury, and fight for the compensation you may be entitled to under Louisiana law.
If you’ve been injured, you need more than a quick settlement. You need a Louisiana traumatic brain injury lawyer who’s ready to stand with you, fight for you, and deliver real results.
A traumatic brain injury happens when a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury disrupts how the brain functions. Even what doctors call a “mild” TBI, such as a concussion, can cause lasting issues with memory, focus, and mood. More severe TBIs can lead to long-term disability, permanent loss of independence, or changes in personality.
Whether mild or severe, every TBI deserves to be taken seriously—both medically and legally.
Medical professionals often classify TBIs by severity:
Doctors may use tools like the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to grade severity, but the real impact is measured in how the injury affects your ability to live, work, and interact with loved ones.
Abby can represent clients who suffer TBIs in a wide range of situations, including:
If someone else’s negligence caused your TBI, Abby will stand up for you to hold them accountable.
Brain injuries are often called “invisible injuries” because symptoms may not show up right away. Some appear hours or even days after the incident.
In adults, common signs include:
In children, signs may include:
If these signs appear, seek medical care immediately, and protect documentation of the diagnosis, which will also help strengthen your legal claim.
Proper diagnosis is critical both for recovery and for your case. Doctors may use CT scans, MRIs, or neuropsychological tests to evaluate the injury.
From a legal perspective, the following records are vital:
The more complete your documentation, the stronger the case Abby can build for you.
Traumatic brain injuries can stem from many situations, and liability depends on the cause. Common liable parties may include:
Abby investigates thoroughly to identify every responsible party so no avenue of recovery is left unexplored.
A TBI can affect every part of life, and compensation should reflect that. Damages may include:
Abby works with medical experts, life-care planners, and economists to present the full financial and emotional cost of a TBI.
Unlike many injuries, the effects of a TBI often linger for years. Survivors may experience:
This is why quick settlements from insurers rarely match the true cost of living with a TBI. Abby pushes for resolutions that account for your long-term needs, not just short-term bills.
Timing is everything—and the rules just changed.
In 2024, Louisiana updated the law on how long people have to file personal injury lawsuits. TBI Lawyers call it the prescriptive period (other states call it a statute of limitations). For years, you only had one year to bring a claim. As of July 1, 2024, that window has been extended to two years for most injury cases, including traumatic brain injuries.
Here’s what that means for you:
But not every case falls under this new rule. Some claims (e.g., medical-care–related TBIs, minors with TBIs) can have different rules—ask about your exact timeline.
Even with the longer deadline, waiting can hurt your case. Evidence can disappear, witnesses can become hard to find, and insurance companies don’t waste time building their defenses.
That’s why it’s so important to talk with Abby as soon as possible. She’ll make sure your claim is filed on time, gather the evidence you need, and give you the best chance at recovering what you need to move forward.
If you suffered a brain injury on the job, workers’ compensation may provide certain benefits. But in many cases, you may also have a third-party claim. For example, against a subcontractor, negligent driver, or equipment manufacturer.
Abby carefully evaluates both paths to maximize recovery for injured workers and their families.
Every client’s story is unique, but Abby’s focus stays the same: uncover the truth, build a strong case, and pursue the accountability and compensation that support your recovery. She approaches TBI cases by:
With Abby, you’re never left wondering; you always know who’s in your corner.
