Understanding Brain Injuries
What is a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
A TBI occurs when a sudden impact, jolt, or penetrating injury disrupts normal brain function. The consequences of a brain injury can vary from mild to severe, affecting cognition, motor skills, and emotional well-being.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can result from a variety of accidents, including:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes are leading causes of TBIs in Atlanta. The sudden impact of a collision can leave victims with life-altering consequences, from persistent headaches to severe cognitive impairments. We understand the frustration and worry that come with facing a long road to healing, and we are committed to helping you secure the compensation needed to support your healing process.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Falls from heights or on hazardous surfaces can lead to serious head injuries. A simple misstep can change your life in an instant, leading to chronic pain, lost independence, and emotional distress. At Scholle Law, we recognize the overwhelming anxiety that follows a fall-related brain injury and are dedicated to guiding you through the legal process with compassion and care.
- Medical Malpractice: Errors in diagnosis, treatment, or surgical procedures can lead to brain damage. A medical professional’s mistake can result in devastating injuries that could have been prevented, leaving victims and their families struggling with anger and confusion. Our team is here to hold negligent healthcare providers accountable and seek the financial support you need for long-term care.
Signs and Symptoms of a Brain Injury
Brain injuries can manifest in various ways, including:
Headaches or migraines
Persistent headaches can make it difficult to focus, impacting your daily responsibilities and causing emotional distress as you struggle to regain a sense of normalcy.
Dizziness and balance issues
Feeling unsteady or dizzy can create a constant fear of falling, leading to frustration and anxiety about participating in everyday activities.
Memory loss and confusion
Forgetfulness and mental fog can affect relationships and work performance, leaving you feeling isolated and uncertain about the future.
Difficulty concentrating
Struggling to focus can disrupt both personal and professional life, causing a sense of helplessness and frustration.
Mood changes such as depression or irritability
Sudden emotional shifts can strain relationships with loved ones, leading to feelings of loneliness and helplessness.
Sensory changes like blurred vision or ringing in the ears
These symptoms can be disorienting and upsetting, adding to the frustration of adjusting to life after a brain injury.
Sleep disturbances
Insomnia or excessive sleep can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected, making it hard to engage fully in life.
Seizures or loss of consciousness
Experiencing seizures can be frightening and life-altering, creating anxiety about safety and long-term health.
If you experience any of these symptoms following an accident, seek immediate medical attention and contact an Atlanta brain injury lawyer to protect your rights.
Legal Rights for Brain Injury Victims
Under Georgia law, if your brain injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. At Scholle Law, we help victims recover damages for:
- Medical Expenses: Brain injuries often require extensive medical treatment, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation. Our goal is to ensure you receive full compensation for both current and future medical expenses. Receiving coverage for these costs can alleviate the financial strain and provide a sense of security, allowing you to focus entirely on your recovery without worrying about mounting bills.
- Pain and Suffering: Brain injuries can result in long-term emotional and physical distress. We advocate for fair compensation to address the impact on your quality of life. The persistent physical pain and emotional toll can lead to feelings of frustration and isolation. Compensation for pain and suffering acknowledges these hardships and recognizes the errors that were made by the at fault person.
- Long-Term Care Costs: Severe brain injuries may require ongoing medical care, physical therapy, and assistance with daily tasks. Our legal team works to secure funds for these long-term needs. The prospect of needing lifelong care can be overwhelming, but financial support can provide a sense of stability and reassurance that you will have access to the best care available.
- Lost Wages and Future Earnings: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, we fight to achieve compensation for lost income and potential future earnings. Losing your ability to earn a living can create feelings of stress and uncertainty about how to support your family and maintain financial stability. Securing compensation can restore a sense of dignity and help you plan for the future with confidence.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injury has affected your ability to participate in activities you once enjoyed, you may be eligible for compensation to address this significant life change. No longer being able to enjoy hobbies, social events, and everyday activities can be deeply discouraging. Compensation can help you explore new opportunities and regain a sense of fulfillment in life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brain Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a brain injury claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically two years from the date of the injury. In order to protect you and your loved ones, actions should be taken quickly to avoid loss of evidence, disappearing witnesses, and many other possible events that can affect the outcome of your case.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault.
How much is my brain injury case worth?
The value of your case depends on factors such as the severity of your injury, medical expenses, lost income, and the impact on your quality of life.
Should I accept an insurance settlement?
Before accepting any settlement, consult with an experienced attorney to ensure it fully covers your needs and future expenses.
Will my case go to court?
Whether your case goes to court depends on the type of case and the circumstances. Most auto accident cases are resolved through settlements and rarely go to trial. Slip-and-fall cases often require filing a lawsuit, with a higher chance of proceeding to trial. Medical malpractice cases almost always involve filing a lawsuit and tend to have a greater likelihood of going to trial. Ultimately, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our team is fully prepared to advocate for you and fight your case in court.
