Common Types of Brain Injuries

Brain injuries are not all the same. They vary widely in severity, cause, and long-term effects. 

At Darwin F. Johnson, LLC, we have experience representing clients with various brain injury types, including:

  • Concussions: Often considered a "mild" traumatic brain injury, concussions can still cause significant symptoms like headaches, dizziness, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating. While many people recover fully from a concussion, some experience persistent symptoms that require ongoing treatment. 
  • Moderate traumatic brain injury: These injuries typically involve a loss of consciousness for a longer period and may lead to more noticeable cognitive and physical impairments. 
  • Severe traumatic brain injury: These are often life-altering injuries that can lead to prolonged coma, significant cognitive deficits, and physical disabilities. They may require extensive rehabilitation and long-term care. 
  • Anoxic and hypoxic brain injuries: These occur when the brain is deprived of oxygen, such as during a near-drowning incident or cardiac arrest. 
  • Coup-contrecoup injuries: These injuries occur when the brain impacts the inside of the skull, causing damage at the point of impact (coup) and on the opposite side of the brain (contrecoup).

No matter what type of brain injury you or a loved one has sustained, it's important to seek legal counsel. We can help you understand your rights and options for pursuing compensation.

Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Atlanta

  • Motor vehicle accidents: Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of brain injuries. The sudden impact and forces involved can cause the brain to collide with the skull, resulting in bruising, bleeding, and damage to brain tissue. 
  • Slips and falls: Falls are another frequent cause of brain injuries, especially among older adults. These can occur due to hazardous conditions on sidewalks, in stores, or even at home. 
  • Workplace accidents: Construction sites, factories, and other workplaces can present hazards that lead to brain injuries. Falls from heights, being struck by objects, and equipment malfunctions are just examples. 
  • Sports injuries: While sports are a wonderful way to stay active, they also carry a risk of brain injury. Contact sports like football and soccer, as well as activities like cycling and horseback riding, can lead to falls or collisions that lead to head trauma. 
  • Acts of violence: Physical assaults can also lead to brain injuries.

It's important to remember that this is not an exhaustive list and brain injuries can occur in many other ways. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, regardless of the cause, we encourage you to contact us for a consultation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About Brain Injury Cases in Atlanta:
    • What is the statute of limitations for brain injury cases in Georgia?
      In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including those involving brain injuries, is two years from the date of the injury. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, so it's crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your specific situation.
    • Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault for my accident?
      Georgia follows a "modified comparative negligence" rule. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident, if your percentage of fault is less than 50%. The amount of compensation you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
    • What should I do if I suspect I have a brain injury?

      First, seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for recovery. Then, contact our office to discuss your legal options. We can help you understand your rights and guide you through the process of seeking compensation.Atlanta Area Resources for Brain Injury Survivors
