The losses associated with sustaining a traumatic brain injury are staggering, and are rarely limited to the individual. According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, traumatic brain injuries cost Georgia residents about $1.5 billion every year in medical care costs and lost wages.
This figure doesn’t even begin to touch on the losses experienced by family members who often become caregivers to those who suffer from a TBI.
If you or a loved one recently experienced an accident that led to a TBI, then it’s prudent to talk to a brain injury attorney in Atlanta about what happened. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, you could be eligible to file for financial relief for your expenses by pursuing that money from a negligent or at-fault party. Get more details about TBIs, how to handle them, and how Kermani LLP can help you.
Common Causes and Statistics of Brain Injuries in Georgia
Traumatic brain injuries range in severity from mild to severe. Any time a person suffers a blow to the head or temporarily loses consciousness, it’s imperative that they get medically evaluated. Untreated TBIs can quickly lead to a deteriorating and unstable mental condition even if the person seems fine in the initial hours after the accident.
The most common causes of brain injuries include:
- slip and fall accidents;
- motor vehicle crashes;
- intentional acts of violence (assault, gunshots, stab wounds);
- sports-related injuries;
- work-related accidents.
About 30,000 brain injuries are reported each year in Georgia.
Compensation Available for Brain Injury Victims in Atlanta
Every TBI accident situation is unique, so you won’t really know more about your legal options or the compensation available to you until you speak with an attorney or research your options. In general, you’ll be eligible to file for compensation if someone else had a legal duty to provide for your care and they failed to do so. A compensation settlement verdict should accurately reflect the extent of your losses, including both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are defined as the losses you experience as a result of your accident that are easy to prove and put a monetary value on. For instance, the costs of your current medical losses will be easy to calculate based on the bills you receive. If your brain injury happened as a result of a car accident, then the damage to your property will be easy to calculate based on any repair estimates. Lost wages can be calculated based on your average pay and the amount of time you miss off of work.
Non-Economic Damages
The actual financial damages you experience may not be all that you’ve lost as a result of your or your loved one’s brain injury. You can also pursue compensation for non-monetary damages, like pain and suffering, a loss of quality of life, or a loss of financial support from a partner who is now unable to work.
Family Member’s Role in Pursuing Brain Injury Claims
When a traumatic brain injury results in a serious loss of function, the injured party may need help from their family members in pursuing a compensation claim. Family members who are interested in helping their loved ones should consider hiring an attorney. The right attorney can help identify potential sources of financial relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a valid brain injury claim in Atlanta, Georgia?
You have a valid brain injury claim in Atlanta when all the following elements are present in your claim:
- The other party had a legal duty to provide for your care and safety.
- The other party failed to uphold their duty of care.
- This breach of duty resulted in the accident that caused your brain injury.
- Your brain injury led to specific losses.
It’s difficult to identify all the various situations in which a legal duty of care exists and the conditions under which it would be considered ‘breached’ under the law. In general, drivers, doctors, business owners, product manufacturers, and property owners all have a duty to provide for the care and safety of other motorists, customers, patients, and guests. If you need help identifying whether you have a valid claim, then your best option is to schedule an obligation-free consultation with an attorney.
What evidence is needed to support a brain injury claim in GA?
You’ll need to prove all the elements above to pursue a successful brain injury claim in Georgia. Use evidence like bills and a diagnosis from your doctor, repair estimates, statements from your employer outlining how much you’ve lost in income, proof of negligence, and more. If you need help determining what evidence to collect, then contact a lawyer for more information.
How does a lawyer calculate the value of a brain injury case in Georgia?
The value of your brain injury claim in Georgia will be determined based on the value of your economic and non-economic losses.
- Your lawyer will add up the monetary value of your financial losses.
- They’ll consider the impact of your non-economic losses, like pain and suffering. Your non-economic losses will be assigned a multiplier from 1.5 to 5. You’ll multiply that factor by the sum of your economic losses.
- They’ll add that number to the original value of your economic losses.
- That final number will be considered the value of your brain injury case.
What challenges might I face in proving a brain injury claim?
Since brain injury claims usually mean a bigger settlement award, the other party will likely attempt to challenge your claims even if you have strong evidence. The reason behind this is that they’ll want to try to minimize their losses.
Can family members file a lawsuit on behalf of someone with a brain injury in Georgia?
Yes. Severe brain injuries might prevent an individual from being able to advocate for themselves. In these situations, family members can hire a lawyer to advocate on the injured person’s behalf.
What role do medical experts play in a brain injury lawsuit in Atlanta?
A medical expert will testify on your behalf regarding the severity of your injury. This testimony can be used as proof of your losses.
How does the severity of a brain injury impact the legal process and settlement?
In general, the more severe a brain injury is, the more complicated the claim will be. The main reason for this is that the losses will be more substantial, which means the compensation award will be higher.
How can a brain injury lawyer assist me throughout the legal process in Atlanta, Georgia?
A brain injury lawyer’s top priority is ensuring that justice is served in your situation. Since the accident wasn’t your fault, the law dictates that you should get fully compensated for your losses. Your lawyer will do their best to make that happen by leveraging the law, building your claim, and negotiating with the other party.
