How to File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia (Part B)

When a Georgia Accident Results in Traumatic Brain Injury (Part B)

If a traumatic brain injury is determined to be severe, the victim may need long-term rehabilitation.

Long-term therapy and rehabilitation may include:

physical therapy;
occupational therapy;
speech and language therapy;
psychology;
medication; and
social and emotional support.

Injury Claims for a Traumatic Brain Injury

If a traumatic brain injury occurred after a car accident in Georgia, and the accident was caused by another driver's negligence, the victim may be eligible for compensation in a personal injury claim. Damages that may be recovered in a personal injury claim include the victim's medical expenses, any pain that they have suffered, and any past, present or future wages that they may have lost because of their traumatic brain injury.

In this type of case, a Clayton County personal injury lawyer must prove that:

the defendant owed the victim a specific duty of care;
the defendant failed to uphold that duty; and
the defendant's failure to uphold that duty resulted in the victim's injury.

In an injury claim, a Clayton County personal injury lawyer can help to negotiate a settlement with the responsible insurance company. An experienced lawyer will know how to approach negotiations with an insurer. If an acceptable settlement cannot be reached, you may choose to file a lawsuit in a formal court of law.
