Fighting for Maximum Compensation for Your Brain Injury Claim
If another party caused your TBI, you can hold them liable for the losses you have sustained—after we prove their negligence.
Because a traumatic brain injury can be mild, moderate, or severe, the amount of compensation you may ultimately recover will be specific to many factors, including but not limited to:
- The extent of your head injury
- Your long-term prognosis
- Circumstances surrounding the accident
- Your age, income, and education at the time of the accident
- The pain and suffering experienced from the accident
- Insurance coverage caps
Your financial recovery may cover the following types of damages:
- Medical bills from the time of your injury to the present day
- Future medical treatment costs
- Loss of income
- Loss of future earnings
- Property loss
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
Meet with our Gainesville traumatic brain injury attorneys at Bader Law to discuss potential compensation for your losses.

How Our Law Firm Supports Victims of Traumatic Brain Injury Accidents
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 69,000 people lost their lives after suffering traumatic brain injuries in 2021. Those who survive must contend with effects that could last months or even years.
Recovering from a TBI takes physical stamina and focus. Working with an advocate who is knowledgeable about personal injury law and the needs of brain injury victims in Georgia releases you from the burden of meeting the requirements of a complicated legal case.
When our legal team takes on your case, we handle the following:
- All administrative tasks
- Investigation of the accident—collecting evidence from eyewitnesses, CCTV, police, and the site of the incident to prove negligence
- Assisting you with finding appropriate medical care to meet your needs
- Account for all of your financial losses and file a claim for compensation with the liable party’s insurance company
- Negotiating a settlement with the insurance company
- Filing a personal injury lawsuit and seeking a compensation judgment or verdict through the courts, if necessary
Most personal injury claims are settled through negotiation, not a lawsuit. However, traumatic brain injuries are often expensive. As the injured victim, you will need all the financial support possible to get back on your feet, but the insurance company may be reluctant to meet your needs.
Proving Negligence
Understanding the cause of your brain injury is critical to building a strong case. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) often result from incidents like motor vehicle accidents, slips and falls, defective product incidents, and workplace accidents—any situation where the head experiences a sudden blow or jolt.
To hold someone legally responsible, your case must show that their negligence caused the injury. That means proving:
- They had a duty to act safely.
- They failed to do so.
- That failure directly led to the brain injury.
- You sustained damages.
For example, a distracted driver who ran a red light, a property owner who didn’t fix a known hazard, or an employer who ignored safety regulations may be held liable.
Evidence like accident reports from the Gainesville Police Department, witness statements, and medical evaluations can help establish the connection between their negligence and the injury. Demonstrating this link is essential to seeking the compensation you or your loved one may be entitled to for medical care, lost wages, and long-term support.

You Must Meet the Filing Deadline for a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit in Georgia
In most personal injury cases, the statute of limitations in Georgia requires plaintiffs to begin legal action within two years of the date of the injury. If you do not file a personal injury lawsuit before the two-year deadline, you may not be allowed to do so.
There are exceptions to the statute of limitations that could give you more or less time to file. Our Gainesville traumatic brain injury lawyers will ensure your claim meets all applicable time limits.

We Provide Our Legal Services on a Contingency-Fee Basis
At the end of your free case consultation with our TBI attorney, you may decide that working with Bader Law is what you want to do for yourself and your family.
If we take your case, we do so on a contingency-fee basis. This means that you will pay no attorney‘s fees until we win your case. At that time, our fees come out of your financial award, not from your pocket.
Understanding the Levels of Severity for Traumatic Brain Injuries
Your recovery, your compensation, and your future are closely tied to the severity of your TBI. Generally, there are three levels of brain injuries: mild, moderate, and severe. However, symptoms can overlap.
Mild TBI
Common symptoms of a mild brain injury include headaches, dizziness, temporarily garbled or slurred speech, and anxiety. You may or may not experience a loss of consciousness.
Moderate or Severe Brain Injuries
In addition to the symptoms suffered by a mild TBI, someone who has suffered a moderate or severe brain injury can have seizures, numbness, long-term nausea or headaches, coma, extreme confusion, memory loss, and inability to speak clearly.
These and other symptoms may last for days, weeks, or years. These symptoms can cost you thousands or more in medical expenses, cause considerable pain, negatively affect your quality of life, and take away your ability to work and even care for yourself.
