How Much Is My Brain Injury Case Worth?
Several things can affect the value of your case, including:
- The severity of the injury and your long-term prognosis
- How much time you’ve missed from work (and whether you can return to work again)
- The cost of your past and future medical treatment
- How the injury has affected your ability to live independently or enjoy life
- The strength of your evidence
- Whether your case settles or goes to trial
These factors help paint a fuller picture of how your brain injury has affected your life—not just physically, but also emotionally and financially. A permanent brain injury can change your ability to earn a living, care for yourself, or be present with your family the way you once were. That’s why it’s so important to work with a legal team that understands the medical and legal complexities of these cases.
At The Moses Firm: Medical Malpractice Lawyers, we’ll dig into every detail, consult with the right experts, and build a case that reflects the full impact this injury has had on your future.
What Kinds of Compensation Can I Recover After a Brain Injury in Georgia?
If your brain injury was caused by someone else’s actions or mistakes, Georgia law allows you to pursue compensation. This may include:
Economic Damages
These losses are meant to account for the tangible effects of the accident, including:
- Medical bills (past and ongoing): This includes hospital stays, emergency care, surgeries, follow-up visits, and medications.
- Lost income or reduced earning potential: If your injury kept you from working or prevents you from returning to your job, you can recover lost wages and future earnings.
- Rehabilitation, therapy, and assistive care: Many brain injury survivors need long-term physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or in-home support.
- Out-of-pocket expenses: This can include travel for medical treatment, hiring home care aides, modifying your home for accessibility, or purchasing medical equipment.
Typically, these damages are supported by documentation, such as bills and receipts.
Non-Economic Damages
These damages deal with the personal, intangible effects of the accident, such as:
- Pain and suffering: Brain injuries often involve chronic pain, discomfort, and cognitive issues that affect daily life.
- Emotional distress: You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or personality changes—all common with traumatic brain injuries.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: If you can no longer engage in hobbies, relationships, or daily activities the way you used to, this loss deserves to be acknowledged.
- Scarring or disfigurement: In some cases, injuries can result in visible changes or lasting impairments.
- Long-term or permanent disability: If the injury results in a lasting impairment, Georgia law allows compensation to reflect the full impact on the individual’s life.
While these losses typically do not have supporting documentation, they can be more valuable than economic losses.
Punitive Damages
In rare cases, punitive damages may also be available if the person or company responsible acted with reckless disregard or intentional malice.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Brain Injury Lawyer?
We know hiring a lawyer might feel out of reach—especially when you’re already dealing with medical bills and uncertainty. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis. You won’t pay anything up front, and we only get paid if we win your case.
Medical malpractice cases can be expensive to pursue, but we will cover the costs of building your case from the start. If we recover compensation for you, our fee will be deducted from that amount. If we don’t win, you will owe us nothing.
What Types of Brain Injuries Do We Handle?
Brain injuries come in many forms, and each one affects people differently. Some may be temporary, while others are permanent and life-altering.
We handle cases involving:
- Concussions and post-concussive syndrome
- Contusions (bruising of the brain)
- Skull fractures
- Brain bleeds (hemorrhages or hematomas)
- Penetrating injuries
- Birth-related brain injuries
In these complex cases, our attorneys work diligently to prove negligence and establish a direct connection between the malpractice and your injury. We will utilize expert medical testimony and comprehensive evidence to build a robust case, aiming to secure the maximum compensation you deserve for your long-term recovery and well-being.
What Are Common Causes of Brain Injuries?
We’ve represented clients injured in a wide range of accidents and incidents, including:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Falls and unsafe property conditions
- Surgical errors and anesthesia mistakes
- Failure to diagnose or treat infections like meningitis
- Birth injuries caused by negligence
- Workplace injuries and equipment failures
- Acts of violence or assault
No matter how the injury occurred, we’re here to help you understand your legal options and fight for the compensation you deserve.
How Long Do I Have to File a Brain Injury Lawsuit in Georgia?
If your brain injury was caused by a medical mistake, it’s important to know that you don’t have forever to take legal action. In Georgia, you usually have two years from the date the injury happened to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Georgia also has something called a statute of repose, which says that no matter what, you can’t file a malpractice case more than five years after the mistake occurred. This can be tricky, especially in brain injury cases where the full effects of the harm might not show up right away. In other words, even if you didn’t realize right away that something went wrong, the law might still prevent you from filing after five years.
There are rare exceptions—such as if a surgeon leaves something inside your body—but for most people, these deadlines are firm. That’s why it’s so important to talk to one of our lawyers as soon as you think something might be wrong.
