Traumatic Brain Injuries Can Cause Significant Losses
A mild TBI can have significant costs attached to it, and the losses associated with a moderate or severe TBI may be catastrophic. An attorney experienced in protecting the needs of clients suffering from a traumatic brain injury will anticipate those costs and help guide your compensation claim accordingly.
The Brain Injury Association of Georgia, based in Macon, reports there are more than 30,000 suspected cases of TBI in our state each year. Those whose injuries stem from another’s negligence may seek to recover both direct and indirect damages, such as:
- Immediate medical care at the accident site, ambulance transport, emergency room care, hospital stays, surgeries, diagnostics, rehab, therapy, long-term care, home care, medications, and medical equipment and devices
- Estimated future medical expenses
- Loss of income during the recovery period
- Reduced earning capacity post-recovery if a return to the original level of employment is not possible
- Loss of future earnings and benefits if returning to work is not possible
- Property loss occurring at the time of the injury
- Assistance with day-to-day activities, including childcare, self-care, and home care
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium and relationships
- Reduced quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment of life

Proving That Negligence Caused Your TBI
Personal injury claims require that we prove someone acted negligently and, as a result, you suffered a traumatic brain injury. Let’s use a car accident as an example of the four elements we must address:
- Duty of care. We must prove that the at-fault driver was obligated to drive reasonably and safely and follow all the traffic laws to avoid harming anyone.
- Breach of duty. The at-fault driver breached their duty by speeding and not acting reasonably to keep others safe.
- Causation. By speeding, the at-fault driver caused the accident in which you sustained a TBI.
- Damages. Your traumatic brain injury caused you to suffer losses for which you deserve compensation in the form of a settlement or judgment.
Our legal team will search for evidence supporting your negligence claim by taking eyewitness statements, capturing images and physical evidence from the crash site, collecting CCTV footage and police reports, and assembling all your medical records reflecting the damage your injury inflicted.
Backed with this evidence, we will file your compensation claim and negotiate with the insurance company for your compensation settlement. If we cannot agree on a full and fair compensation settlement amount, we will begin legal action by filing a personal injury lawsuit and representing you in court.
Meeting the Deadline to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit After Your TBI
If negotiations don’t produce a satisfactory settlement, you could pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Georgia allows you two years from the accident date to begin legal action (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) and may bar you from seeking compensation through the court system if you don’t meet that deadline.
Negotiations for a compensation settlement may not begin until months after the accident, depending on your injuries. Furthermore, your recovery must reach a particular stage before your medical team can project your future needs. Only then, when we understand all of the financial losses you face, will your attorney negotiate with the insurance company.
It’s important to be aware that while two years can seem a long time, there may be considerably less time between the end of negotiations and the two-year statute of limitations. Our legal team always has an eye on the calendar and keeps you apprised of the advancement of your case.
