What Is the Average Settlement for a Traumatic Brain Injury?
“Average” settlements in any type of case are very difficult to calculate, in part because some settlements are kept confidential. It is also important to realize that your settlement depends on your specific losses, not on what other people have received.
All of the following factors and more go into determining what your settlement will look like:
Treatments You Needed to Address the Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a severe condition, even when it is temporary and you expect to make a full recovery. Whether you were sent home after a check-up at the hospital or will require intensive care for the rest of your life, these expenses should be covered by the liable party’s insurance company, not you.
Injury-Related Loss of Income
Depending on what line of work you are in and how seriously you were injured, you might need to take some time off to recover, reduce your workload, or even leave the workforce all together.
These are losses you cannot and should not have to bear alone: our Columbus traumatic brain injury attorneys can pursue the money you will need to support your family, both now and in the future.
Loss of Consortium Related to the Brain Injury
This refers to your ability to maintain a satisfying relationship with the people closest to you, especially your spouse. Brain injuries can lead to changes in mood, memory, and emotional control that make it difficult for you to connect with your loved ones. Our legal team can seek compensation for this upsetting loss.
Loss of Quality of Life Caused by the TBI
In the short term, a brain injury can prevent you from taking care of yourself or from participating in activities you enjoy, like sports. Those who suffer permanent injuries will have to contend with irreversible lifestyle changes and limitations, as well as the psychological distress that comes with having to acknowledge and adapt to such changes.
Bader Law understands that money will not solve everything: it cannot erase your pain or reverse the unwanted changes in your life. It can, however, enable you to afford the things you need so you can stop worrying about your future.

How Long Does a Brain Injury Claim or Lawsuit Take?
Claims and lawsuits are two different legal actions with different timelines and expectations.
In many cases, our catastrophic injury lawyers are able to successfully resolve cases by filing claims. This involves:
- Collecting evidence to prove you are entitled to damages
- Identifying the liable party and contacting their insurance company
- Evaluating any settlement offers the insurer makes
- Negotiating for a better offer as necessary
If our Columbus lawyers have to file a lawsuit, we can make appropriate preparations, like selecting witnesses and jury members. At trial, we can do all of the talking and arguing on your behalf so you do not have to make your case on your own.
We only have two years from the accident date to file suit, according to Georgia law. Call Bader Law today for more information about your rights and options.

We encourage you to ask as many questions as you need throughout the legal process. Our legal team can provide simple-to-understand answers and guarantees a response to all calls and emails within 48 hours.
Always remember that you are not in this alone: from the moment you hire us, your lawyer will be your close ally and compassionate representative.

What Kinds of Cases Can Our Columbus Brain Injury Lawyers Help You With?
Bader Law is prepared to represent clients who were involved in many common accidents that cause TBIs, including:
- Auto accidents: When cars collide with each other or stationary objects, the resulting impact can easily cause a head injury.
- Other kinds of traffic accidents: Pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists have very little (or no) protection compared to vehicle occupants, so they are especially vulnerable to serious injuries.
- Slip and fall accidents: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that falls are the most common cause of TBIs.
- Workplace accidents: If you work in an industry where head injuries are a clear risk, you should be provided with protective gear, like helmets or fall protection.
Each of these accident types has something in common: negligence. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, fell on a slick floor that a property owner failed to clean up, or struck by a falling object in the workplace, you were the victim of someone else’s careless behavior, and you deserve justice.
Bader Law can identify everyone whose negligence contributed to your injuries. Then we can use evidence like witness testimony, Columbus Police Department reports, and audiovisual footage to hold them accountable.
