Types of traumatic brain injuries

Traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, have three different classifications: mild, moderate, and severe (catastrophic injuries). However, there are many different categories of TBIs that a brain injury attorney in Peachtree Corners will be familiar with.

Intracranial hematoma

This involves ruptured blood vessels, which leads to blood collecting in the brain tissue or in spaces around the brain. There are many subcategories of intracranial hematomas, including epidural hematomas, subdural hematomas, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hematoma, and intraventricular hemorrhage.

Skull fractures

The skull is the brain’s shield against injury, but with enough force, the skull can fracture, leading to a traumatic brain injury. A linear skull fracture is a hairline crack in the skull. A depressed skull fracture occurs when the skull is damaged and pushes in on the brain. A basilar skull fracture occurs at the base of the brain and can lead to cerebral spinal fluid leaking.

Contusions/coup-contrecoup

A contusion is caused by an impact on the head, causing a bruise on the brain tissue. A coup-contrecoup injury occurs when the brain moves back and forth in the skull, creating bruising on opposite sides. Whether you have suffered a relatively minor concussion, nerve damage, a catastrophic injury, or an accident that resulted in the wrongful death of a loved one, our legal team is ready to help. Contact us to speak to an experienced personal injury lawyer about your injury claim.

Diffuse axonal injury

This occurs in accidents when the head is suddenly stopped or turned. This causes the brain to rotate in the skull and tear away from its connective tissue.

Background media

Common causes of brain injuries

The causes of brain injuries are numerous, but here are some of the most common causes that our lawyers see at our Peachtree Corners personal injury law firm:

  • Motor vehicle collisions: Head injuries are extraordinarily common in motor vehicle accidents. TBIs can result from the head striking the steering wheel, dashboard, driver or passenger seat, or one of the windows. On a motorcycle, the rider may sustain a TBI even when wearing a helmet. Every brain injury lawyer in Peachtree Corners has likely handled numerous car accident cases.
  • Sports injuries: Many people think about the high number of concussions that occur in professional football, but TBIs can happen even in non-contact sports like baseball or basketball.
  • Physical assaults: In the unfortunate event that physical violence is involved, a punch or kick to the head can also cause a TBI. Whether you’ve been involved in an automobile accident or truck accident, slipped on someone else’s property, or got injured in some other way, you deserve compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, emotional trauma, and more. Our personal injury attorneys in Peachtree Corners, GA, can help you take legal action against the at-fault party. Call today!
  • Slip, trip, and fall accidents: Because accident victims are not able to anticipate their falls, they often strike their heads on the floor or on the way down, causing severe injury.

Determining liability in personal injury law

In order to receive maximum compensation for your personal injury claim, your brain injury attorney in Peachtree Corners will have to be able to prove the following elements:

  • Duty of care and breach of duty: The defendant must have had a responsibility to the plaintiff to help them avoid injury. For example, in a car accident, the driver would have a duty of care to operate their vehicle safely. All personal injury cases require proof that the at-fault party failed in their duty. For example, a property owner or the proprietor of a store who leaves a slippery substance on the ground has failed in their duty to keep their customers and employees safe.
  • Causation and damages: The causation element requires proof that the breach of duty caused the accident. If a driver runs a red light and collides with the side of another vehicle that had the right-of-way, it’s clear that their actions caused the car accident. Every personal injury case must have damages. That does not mean that the plaintiff has to justify the claim by showing a catastrophic injury, but they must be able to show that there was some cost as a result of the accident. Your brain injury lawyer in Peachtree Corners will gather evidence to demonstrate your losses.

Compensation for your head and brain injuries after an accident

Under Georgia law, there are three categories of damages. Economic damages and non-economic damages are compensatory in nature, while punitive damages are intended to punish the responsible parties for reckless or irresponsible behavior.

Economic damages

These include any financial expenses that you incurred from the accident, including the cost of medical attention you received on the scene or at the hospital, medical care from your doctor, medical assistance from specialists, physical therapy, lost wages, property damage, etc.

Non-economic damages

These are often referred to as pain and suffering. Non-economic damages include emotional suffering, physical discomfort, and inconvenience. If you have suffered catastrophic injuries, they can also include diminished capacity.

Punitive damages

Most personal injury claims aren’t eligible for punitive damages. Georgia has a $250,000 cap on punitive damages. A Peachtree Corners personal injury attorney can review medical records and consult with medical professionals to determine the amount of compensation you may be entitled to. These doctors may be called upon to provide expert witness testimony at a later time.

In mid-March this year, my car was rearended pretty badly by another car at an intersection here in Atlanta, GA, causing hefty damage to my car and head concussion and neck/spine pain in me. I’ve got the vehicle damage part done by the insurance company but the bodily injury part, I was not happy with their initial offer. So, I have approached Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass company and they have represented me professionally in my case claim. They were able to get me maximum claim, much to my pleasant delight. Thank you attorney Brett Hollett for representing me. Thank you Constance Tidwell, case manager, for keeping me posted regularly and being patient with me.

I had never hired a lawyer prior to this experience. I was extremely nervous and overwhelmed with the process of choosing one. Will came recommended from several sources I reached out to. He made the process so easy and gave me peace of mind through out our experience.

My initial feeling after speaking with Ashley was relief; I was confident she had what it took to get the absolute best outcome in our fight for justice for our little man! There was never a moment I felt in the dark, didn’t understand something, or couldn’t reach her to answer any question or concern. She always expressed a genuine concern, care, and love in fighting for what was the best interest of our son and us as a family. Ashley is highly proficient and knowledgeable in what she does and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She is truly one BADASS attorney and Superwoman got nothing on her!!

Courteous, Tenacious, Professional and attention to detail in a calming manner is how I would describe Will Lattimore, the attorney assigned to me. I had a major surgical procedure done last year that went wrong and left me not as I was. I contacted all the major billboard and TV attorneys and no one was interested. I assume it was not drastic enough for them. I was referred by a friend to Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass. From the beginning we met, Will, was very thorough in explaining how all will transpire in a timely manner. Patience, was the key, as it took a year for all the moving parts to work. During this time, I was contacted with steps and details being handled. I would highly recommend Will and this firm should you need legal representation.

If I need another attorney I’ll be back!

We were very fortunate to have Ashley Mitchell take care of us from start to finish. She is very thorough and attentive to details.

Ashley has put forth so much effort and hard work into this case to get the outcome that our son deserved. If you are looking for a firm to represent and get you justice in a case involving you or your loved one then we recommend Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass.

After my car accident in 2020 life for my family turned upside-down. Everything, every movement every action took so much effort and thought, nothing about our life was easy anymore. I hired Tim Holdefer the 1st day we met, then he later on introduced us to Bobby at Turnbull to represent us in court. From the 1st conversations with Ashley on the phone I instantly felt cared for. I felt like my story mattered an I felt heard. Every step of the way they were by my side until we settled. Truly if my family, friends or I ever need a lawyer again for any reason I trust that if they can’t help, they will Send me to some one who will treat us equally as good… Thank you so much for all of your help, my family will never forget you all..

We heard about Ashley through word of mouth and I am so happy we did! She has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. My parents passed away in a trucking accident and through a devastating time Ashley stood by our side. She even came to New York for my parents funeral. She is a stand up person. She got us the outcome we wanted. She has been there every step of the way to help my family (she even listened to us cry a few times). If you are seeking a great law firm this one is highly recommended. Even further I recommend you asking for Ashley Mitchell to work your case. Ashley made it so that my family can open a homeless shelter in our parents name so they will never be forgotten. Ashley, from the bottom of mine, Coby and Sandra’s hearts we thank you tremendously.
