How Your TBI Attorney in Mableton, GA Will Build Your Case
Our Mableton TBI attorneys at Bader Law Injury Lawyers bring a depth of knowledge in personal injury law to your compensation claim. We will help you navigate the legal landscape to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
To proceed with a personal injury claim, we must prove negligence. To do that, we will investigate the accident to prove the following elements:
- The defendant (the at-fault party) had a duty of care to act reasonably in preventing harm to you and others.
- The defendant breached that duty of care by an action or inaction that was unsafe and could potentially cause harm.
- The breach of duty caused the accident in which you sustained a traumatic brain injury.
- You suffered losses due to your injury.
No matter what type of accident caused your TBI, whether it was a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, medical malpractice, or something else, your Mableton catastrophic injury lawyer will gather evidence that supports our claim. To do this, we may talk to eyewitnesses, get copies of CCTV footage, review environmental factors, gather police reports and medical records, and reconstruct the accident.
We will use the evidence proving negligence and proof of your losses to compile a compensation claim and file it with the liable party’s insurance company. Your attorney will then negotiate for a fair compensation settlement. They may also file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf. If we cannot reach an agreement, we will seek a compensation verdict or judgment through the courts.

The Statute of Limitations for Filing a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit in Mableton, GA
A serious head injury can result in a severe, lifelong condition. Your doctors may not know what medical treatments you will require in the future until months after your injury. You and your legal team should wait until you have that information before accepting a settlement offer from the insurance company to ensure it covers all your foreseeable losses.
Georgia’s deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury, per O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Two years may seem more than adequate time to take legal action, but gathering evidence and building a case takes time. If you miss the deadline, you may be unable to pursue justice through the courts.
Our legal team will handle the administrative needs of your case and ensure you meet all legal deadlines and other requirements.

How Georgia’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule May Affect Your TBI Case
Sometimes more than one person is at fault for an accident. If you were partially at fault for the accident that caused your traumatic brain injury, you may still be eligible to recover financial compensation for your losses.
Per O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident, you can recover compensation. However, your payment would be reduced by your percentage of fault. For instance, if you’re 20% at fault for the accident, you can recover 80% of the compensation you are due.
If you are 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover compensation for your losses.
