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.
