Do You Have a Legitimate Brain Injury Case?

A traumatic brain injury may entitle you to compensation if it was caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongful conduct. In Georgia, a valid personal injury claim generally includes the following elements:

• You sustained a traumatic brain injury
• Another party owed you a duty of care (such as a driver, employer, or property owner)
• That party breached their duty through negligence or misconduct
• Their breach directly caused your injury
• You suffered measurable losses as a result

Common Causes of Brain Injuries

A brain injury can happen just about anywhere. The injured person could have been driving to work, undergoing a routine medical procedure, or just out for a walk in the park. All that is required is a degree of negligence or willful aggression on the part of another person or company to turn any situation into a civil matter. Some of the more common scenarios Grant Law Office has encountered include:

• Car accidents
• Large truck collisions
• Medical malpractice
• Premises liability
• Product liability
• Sports injury

Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury

Immediately after an accident, a person who has suffered a blow to the head may experience some or all of the following symptoms. These should be checked out by a doctor immediately:

• Head or neck pain;
• Dizziness, nausea, or vomiting;
• Seizures, confusion, disorientation, or impaired consciousness or memory; and
• Any period of unconsciousness.

Because even mild trauma like a concussion, can interfere with memory, it's important to see a doctor if any of these symptoms arise in the days or weeks following an accident, even if you can't clearly remember whether or not you hit your head. Indications of a TBI that may not appear immediately, but that may develop over a few days, include:

• New or increased head or neck pain;
• Dizziness, nausea, or vomiting;
• Insomnia and/or fatigue;
• Difficulty remembering, concentrating, or communicating; and
• Depression, irritability, anxiety, or other changes in mood or expression.

Like the more immediate indications of a TBI, these symptoms should be examined by a doctor immediately. In some patients, they may take weeks or even months to develop, so it's important to remain aware of the indications of TBI even if you don't think you suffered any harm in the accident.

What’s the Legal Process for a Traumatic Brain Injury Case?

Traumatic brain injury cases are different from many other personal injury claims. They often involve extensive medical records, expert testimony, and long-term damage evaluations.

Initial Consultation

We begin by listening to your story, reviewing your medical history, and assessing whether you have a viable claim.

Investigation and Evidence Collection

We gather medical records, police or accident reports, witness statements, photographs, and, if necessary, consult neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners.

Identifying Liable Parties

Our Atlanta personal injury attorneys identify all parties who may be responsible for your injury—including individuals, companies, employers, or product manufacturers.

Negotiation and Settlement

We negotiate with the at-fault parties or their insurers to pursue full compensation. Because we prepare every case for trial, we often secure better settlement offers.

Litigation and Trial (if necessary)

If no settlement is reached, we proceed to trial and present your case before a jury. We handle everything from discovery to expert testimony and final arguments.

What Is the Statute of Limitations in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including traumatic brain injury claims, is two years from the date of the injury.

However, certain exceptions may apply:

• If the injury was not immediately apparent, the "discovery rule" may extend the filing deadline.
• In cases involving minors, the statute may be tolled until the child reaches 18.
• If a government entity is involved (such as a city or state employee), you may need to file a notice of claim within six months to one year.

Don’t risk losing your right to compensation. The sooner you contact an Atlanta catastrophic injury lawyer, the stronger your case can be.

Who Can Be Liable?

Proving liability in traumatic brain injury cases depends on how the injury occurred. Often, more than one party shares responsibility. Our job is to identify every source of liability to maximize your recovery. Liable parties may include:

• Negligent drivers in auto or trucking accidents
• Property owners who failed to maintain safe premises
• Employers or contractors who allowed unsafe work conditions
• Product manufacturers who released defective or unsafe items
• Medical professionals or hospitals in malpractice cases
• Individuals involved in assaults or intentional violence

In many cases, we pursue claims against individuals as well as corporations or insurers. Our goal is to uncover the full scope of responsibility.

See a Doctor Right Away After a Blow to the Head

Traumatic brain injuries occurs when the brain suffers damage from a blow to the head or an object piercing the skull. In some cases of mild or moderate TBI, the injured person may not realize that a trauma has occurred. That's why it's important for medical professionals to recognize indications of TBI and respond quickly.

The sooner a TBI is diagnosed, the more quickly it can be treated, increasing the chances of a full recovery. Some head injuries, however, leave patients with lingering or permanent symptoms.

Brain Injury FAQs

What is a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury is caused by a sudden impact, jolt, or blow to the head that disrupts normal brain function. TBIs range from concussions to severe brain damage and can result from car accidents, falls, workplace incidents, or violence.

Do I have a case if the brain injury was caused by an accident?

If someone else’s negligence caused the accident, such as a reckless driver, unsafe property conditions, or a defective product, you may have a valid legal claim. We offer a free consultation to help you determine whether you have a case.

What are common symptoms of a TBI?

TBI symptoms may include:

• Headaches
• Memory loss
• Difficulty concentrating
• Mood swings or personality changes
• Nausea
• Sleep disturbances
• Sensitivity to light or noise

Always seek medical attention if you suspect a brain injury.

Will I need to go to trial to win my case?

Not necessarily. Many TBI cases are settled out of court. However, at Grant Law Office, we prepare every case for trial from day one, which often leads to stronger settlement outcomes.

Liability depends on the cause of the injury. Responsible parties may include:

• Negligent drivers

• Medical providers

What does it cost to hire Grant Law Office?
