Individualized Legal Counsel Focused On You

Why You Need Legal Help

Brain injuries can be life-changing, often resulting in long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Without legal guidance, you may find it challenging to get the compensation needed to cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An experienced personal injury attorney can take care of the legalities of your case so you can focus on recovery.

Understanding Brain Injuries

A brain injury occurs when an external force causes damage to the brain. These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Some common causes of brain injuries include:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Falls
• Sports injuries
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Assault

Brain injury symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, memory loss, cognitive impairment, and changes in behavior or personality. The impact of these injuries can often be profound, affecting not only your ability to work but your ability to engage in daily activities and maintain relationships.

Suffering From A Brain Injury?

Georgia Laws Governing Brain Injuries

In Georgia, several state laws regulate personal injury claims, including those related to brain injuries. Here are some important points:

Comparative Negligence

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means if you are found to be 50% or more at fault for the accident that caused your brain injury, you cannot recover any compensation.

If you are less than 50% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are determined to be 30% at fault, your award will be reduced by 30%.

Statute of Limitations

In Georgia, you have a limited time frame to file a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, you must file within two years from the date of the accident. Failing to file within this period may result in losing your right to seek compensation.

Damages

Victims of brain injuries in Georgia may pursue compensation for various damages, including:

• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

Working with an experienced attorney is crucial to help you build a strong case and maximize your compensation.
