Types of Brain Injuries
Any type of injury to your brain is serious and has the potential to change your physical and cognitive abilities. Brain injuries can vary in degree and severity which dictates the impact they will have on your health.
Types of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can include:
- Concussions that lead to pain, confusion, difficulty focusing, and memory impairment
- Moderate TBIs that involve short-term loss of consciousness that lasts for days or weeks
- Severe TBIs that cause longer-lasting loss of consciousness, behavioral and cognitive challenges, seizures, and ongoing confusion
Brain injuries can also be closed or open, complicated or uncomplicated, and non-traumatic.
When we handle your case, we will read and review your medical records to establish their severity, the toll they take on you and your family, and their current and ongoing financial impact. We use the information we obtain to determine the monetary value of the personal injury case we build for you.

Compensation You Can Recover for a Brain Injury
Treatment for your brain injury can include surgery, counseling, medication, and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can involve physical, occupational, speech, and other forms of therapy.
The compensation we recover for you will include all of these costs. It will also include required health care until you obtain maximum medical improvement. Additional compensation can include:
- Current and future income loss
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Ongoing physical pain and suffering
- Property damage or total destruction
We carefully assess your injuries and the expenses and losses that stem from them. Your recoverable damages are unique to you, and we make sure your compensation request is accurate prior to the start of settlement talks.
The Timing of Your Decatur Brain Injury Case Is Important
When you are ready to seek compensation from the person or entity who caused your brain injury, you have a limited time to do so. In Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33.
Failure to comply with the statute of limitations could mean:
- You will not be able to file your lawsuit in court at all
- Your lawsuit will be dismissed without being heard
Either of these outcomes will prevent you from pursuing the at-fault party and the financial burden of the accident and your injuries will fall to you. When we represent you — and with sufficient notice from you — we ensure timely filing and protect your right to compel compensation.
