The brain is your body’s most important organ, responsible for nearly everything that happens in your body, ranging from your decision to move your body, thinking and processing, feeling and emotion, and much more.

If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of another party’s negligence, our experienced traumatic brain injury lawyers can represent you in your claim for damages. Call today for a free consultation.

What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, as defined by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, is a form of acquired brain injury that occurs when sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBIs can be mild, moderate, or severe – the degree of a TBI and its severity depends on the type of TBI and the extent of damage. A traumatic brain injury can severely impact a person’s thinking, language, sensation, and emotion.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries are classified in a number of different ways, including by type of TBI. The most common type of TBI is a concussion, which occurs when a person suffers a direct blow to the head. Concussions can vary from mild to severe.

Another common type of TBI is a contusion, which refers to bleeding on the brain as a result of a blow to the head. Other types of TBIs are coup-contrecoup injuries and diffuse axonal injuries, which occur when the head is impacted with such force that there is damage on both sides of the brain, and when the head is shaken or exposed to rotational forces, respectively. A penetration TBI is self-explanatory and occurs when the skull and brain are penetrated with an object, such as a knife or bullet.

There are also types of acquired brain injuries, which happen when the brain is damaged by stroke, hypoxia, anoxia, toxins, degenerative diseases, and near-drowning. If the brain’s oxygen supply is cut off or if blood to the brain is cut off, severe damage may occur.

How Traumatic Brain Injuries Happen

Traumatic brain injuries are almost always avoidable and happen when an individual is involved in a preventable accident. Types of accidents that can result in a TBI include:

  • Falls;
  • Motor vehicle accidents;
  • Pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle crashes;
  • Sports accidents;
  • Abuse or domestic abuse;
  • Workplace injuries; and
  • Drowning and near-drowning injuries.

The above list is not inclusive. If you have been involved in an accident type that you don’t see listed above, but which resulted in a TBI, please call our law firm directly for support.

Costs of Traumatic Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury can change the course of a person’s life, especially if the brain injury is severe. Costs that a person may incur as a result of a TBI include:

  • Medical expenses. Treatment and medical services for a TBI may include doctors’ visits, hospital stays, surgery, rehabilitation expenses, medications, and more. Medical services, such as rehabilitation and therapy, may be required long-term.
  • Home adjustment costs. A person who suffers from a serious TBI may not be able to navigate their home or their life as they once did. In-home care may be required, and a person may require certain accommodations, technologies, and support as a direct result of the TBI.
  • Lost wages. If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury and are unable to work as a direct result of that injury, then you will surely suffer lost wages, as well as the loss of earning potential and benefits that you would have accrued had you been able to work.
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress. A traumatic brain injury may not just affect your ability to work, but also your relationships, your ability to care for yourself, your ability to recreate, and more. This can result in high levels of psychological suffering and emotional distress.

Bringing Forth a Personal Injury Claim

When a TBI is caused by an accident that would not have occurred but for another’s negligence, an affected person maintains the right to bring forth a personal injury claim for damages against the at-fault party. Through a personal injury claim, the victim will need to prove that the other party breached the duty of care owed to them (i.e. did something negligent) and that the breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of the brain injury. If you can prove negligence, then you can hold the at-fault party liable for the full value of your economic and noneconomic damages. In order to bring forth a personal injury suit, you must file your claim within two years from the date of your injury – otherwise, you’ll be in violation of Georgia’s statute of limitations.
