Frequently asked questions about traumatic brain injuries
An Atlanta traumatic brain injury lawyer answers common questions plaintiffs ask about brain injury claims.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can happen in many ways, from a car crash to a sports injury, a fall from heights, or even a bicycle accident. It occurs when the head strikes something hard or is struck with traumatic force. The force causes the brain to collide with the interior of the skull. This leads to serious damage, including tearing brain tissue, swelling, and bleeding. TBIs are classed as mild, moderate, or severe.
A mild TBI typically causes little permanent damage, and most people can make a full, or nearly full, recovery. Severe TBIs, on the other hand, can cause significant brain damage, prompt the onset of cognitive decline, and render the victim unable to care for themselves.
The cost of medical care for a moderate to severe brain injury can easily reach the high six figures. If the victim requires long-term care in a skilled nursing facility or memory care home, then the lifetime cost of a brain injury becomes staggering.
We employ economic and vocational experts to calculate the loss of earning potential and medical experts to estimate the cost of current plus future medical and personal care needs to arrive at a total for your material losses.
Then, we base the compensation demand for pain and suffering and other non-material losses on that amount. We strive for the maximum amount available in your claim.
Each law firm sets its own fees, so we can only speak for our firm. At Karell Trial Attorneys, we work on a contingency basis. We only collect legal fees on the contingency we win. If we fail to secure a settlement or jury award, we don’t get paid. You have access to top-quality legal representation without worrying about upfront fees.
Maybe. Under Georgia’s personal injury laws, plaintiffs may collect compensation if they have contributed less than 50% of the blame for the accident. However, your award will be reduced by the percentage of blame you contributed to the accident. It’s our mission to prove that the other party was negligent and reduce the portion of your blame (if any) as much as possible.
