When a person has suffered a head injury in an accident, family members are often relieved when there is no brain damage apparent. In many cases, however, a brain injury may develop well after the accident, or symptoms may not be noticed at first.

If a loved one has suffered a head trauma in an accident, make sure they are examined by a qualified physician and contact the experienced Georgia TBI attorneys of Gary Martin Hays & Associates. It is critical to seek medical care early so that doctors can treat the injury and monitor the victim over time. Our Atlanta-based firm represents clients throughout Georgia and the Southeast.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

The terms referring to brain damage resulting from an accident can be misleading. Any head injury is "traumatic" to the victim and family because of the fear of permanent brain damage. Even a so-called “mild” brain injury can mean a significant loss of memory, change in demeanor, or general confusion.

The term traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to damage to the complex and delicate tissues of the brain resulting in any combination of various adverse effects:

Reduction in cognitive ability
Reduction in motor skills
Inability to concentrate
Memory loss (amnesia or short-term memory loss)
Debilitating headache
Vision or hearing problems
Dizziness or loss of consciousness
Difficulty with speech
Emotional problems or personality change

While mild brain injury may heal significantly or only moderately impact the victim's life, people with traumatic brain injury often suffer permanent damage and typically require extensive medical and personal care for a lifetime.

Brain injuries can be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms may be mistaken for depression or other medical problems, and are not always revealed by brain scans. Diagnosis, treatment and adequate compensation requires close monitoring and cooperation between family, medical experts and attorneys.

Brain injury may occur in any type of accident, from severe head trauma in a motorcycle accident or truck accident to seemingly minor impact such as bumping one's head. Sometimes there is no physical impact at all, such as brain damage from exposure to dangerous chemicals.
