If you were injured because of another motorist’s poor driving practices, a Marietta head and brain injury lawyer from Bader Law Injury Lawyers could help you review your legal options.
We encourage you to take prompt action, as Georgia’s statute of limitations outlined in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) §9-3-33 limits how long you have to file a lawsuit.

Head and Brain Injuries Can Present Serious Symptoms
Following a car accident, you may be wondering whether your injuries are serious enough to merit compensation. To make this decision, our team will need to examine various aspects of your situation.
The severity of your injuries, the extent of your losses, and whether you are able to live independently will determine if you could file a personal injury claim or lawsuit.
Healthline explains that head and brain injuries can produce a range of life-altering symptoms. These conditions require prompt medical attention. If you have not yet seen a medical professional, you should do so immediately. Not only does prolonging medical help threaten your well-being, but it also allows the other party to doubt the cause of your impairment.
Some symptoms of a head or brain injury may include:
- Headaches
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Problems with balance and coordination
- Nausea and vomiting
- Trouble sleeping
- Depression and anxiety
- Memory loss
- Cognitive impairments
Again, seeking medical care should be your top priority. If you have concerns regarding the cost of healthcare, you can include these costs in your case.

Recovering Compensation in a Head or Brain Injury Case
Bader Law Injury Lawyers understands that serious injuries can result in losses that are both financial and non-financial in nature. We believe that your case should account for the full extent of your accident-related hardships.
Your Marietta head and brain injury lawyer will look at various documents to determine the cost of your losses. These documents may include property damage receipts, medical bills, and income statements.
However, not all damages come with a monetary value. Pain and suffering do not come with a price tag. To calculate this cost, your lawyer will need to review the physical and emotional impact of your condition on your life.
You could receive compensation for:
Medical Bills
Depending on the nature of your condition, you may only need medical care for a few weeks. In other circumstances, you may need lifelong, around-the-clock care. You can receive compensation for hospitalization, surgeries, assistive medical devices, in-home nursing, physical therapy, and medications.
When calculating the cost of your medical bills, our legal team can also take into account losses that have not happened yet.
Lost Wages
You may have been unable to attend work due to your head or brain injury. Your lawyer can take a look at your employment records and pay stubs to determine how much income you lost. They can also project how much income you may miss in the future and include that figure in your case.
Reduced Future Earning Capacity
As noted, a head or brain injury can present a host of serious complications. You may be unable to continue working in your current position. You may be unable to work at all. Your lawyer can include the harm to your earning power in your case.
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering is intended to compensate you for your physical pain and emotional turmoil. The cost of this expense will depend on the details of your case.
Disability
Head and brain injuries can affect multiple parts of the body. If you are facing a long-term disability as a result of the collision, you could receive compensation for living with this challenge. Your lawyer can present more insight into how this expense is calculated.
There are other types of recoverable damages that may be available to you. Upon presenting the insurance company with your demand letter, the insurer may agree to pay you for your losses. If not, however, we can argue your case before a judge and jury.
