Questions about Traumatic Brain Injury

Atlanta, Georgia

What makes a brain injury “traumatic?”

Not all instances of brain injury are classified as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBIs are typically categorized as injuries to the brain caused by an external force that may result in the brain and skull colliding. TBIs can cause temporary mental and physical impairment, long-term disability and even death.

What can cause a TBI?

Any impactful force to the head can cause a TBI. TBI lawsuits often relate to:

Car accidents
Premises liability (slip-and-fall accidents)
Motorcycle accidents
Workplace accidents

What compensation can TBI victims and family members pursue?

Financial compensation in TBI claims may include money for:

At-home health care
Emotional distress
Lost income
Medical costs
Pain and suffering
Permanent disability
Physical therapy

How is compensation calculated in TBI claims?

Because the treatment for various brain injuries varies widely, it is difficult to estimate a dollar amount for overall expenses. The Atlanta brain injury attorney at Robbins & Associates collaborate with specialists including surgeons and physical therapists to support your claim and recover the financial compensation you need for your specific condition.

What if a family member dies after sustaining a TBI?

Unfortunately, fatalities are not uncommon after experiencing a TBI. If a family member died after sustaining a TBI that was due to the negligence of another, you may wish to pursue a wrongful death claim.

If you or a family member suffered a brain injury due to the negligent act of another, please contact the Atlanta, Georgia, TBI attorney at Robbins & Associates, P.C., to schedule your free case evaluation.
