Augusta Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer

DEADLINES

With an injury as serious as a TBI, you can expect your claim to take a considerable amount of time to settle fairly. In response, it’s important to keep in mind that Georgia’s statute of limitations – or time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit – is just two years.

While you funnel your efforts into regaining your physical and emotional health and well-being, your lawyer will skillfully advocate for your claim’s best possible resolution.

GATHERING EVIDENCE

A primary factor that separates very successful claims from those that are less so is the quality of the available evidence.

While you may not be able to participate in evidence gathering in the wake of an accident that leaves you with an acquired brain injury, you can count on bystanders at the scene of the accident, the authorities, and your focused attorney to do so on your behalf.

The forms of evidence that often play an important role include:

• Testimony of the emergency medical team regarding your condition
• Police report, any additional official documentation, and any tickets issued – such as in response to a traffic accident
• Physical evidence gathered at the accident scene
• Photos and videos taken by eyewitnesses and by the authorities
• Any dashcam or security camera footage captured
• Eyewitness testimonies
• Expert witness testimonies from professionals in fields associated with serious brain injuries
• Accident recreation models that make the mechanics of the accident less difficult to understand and help establish fault in the matter
• Your medical records and your doctor’s report regarding the gravity of your injury and your health prognosis
• Your telling of how the TBI has affected your life – as well as statements from those who know you best on the same topic

EVIDENCE ABOUT SPECIFIC INJURIES

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that, while TBIs are classified as either mild or moderate and severe, there is nothing mild about a mild traumatic brain injury. When you sustain a brain injury, it’s a serious matter that requires medical attention and can lead to long-lasting consequences. Consider:

• A mild TBI is generally caused by a blow to the head or by an accident in which the head is shaken violently back and forth, such as in a traffic crash.
• Symptoms for mild TBIs and concussions include issues related to concentration, memory, learning, and problem-solving.
• While most people recover from mild TBIs, multiple injuries can have more lasting consequences.
• Moderate and severe brain injuries, on the other hand, often lead to long-term consequences that can interfere with daily life.

The greater the severity of the injury, the more significantly your life – and the lives of those close to you – will be affected. If you’ve suffered a brain injury because of someone else’s negligence, building your strongest claim from the start is paramount, and for that, you need a capable Augusta TBI attorney on your side.
