Brain Injuries Aren’t Like Broken Bones
The Hidden Complexity
Brain injuries often don’t show up on standard CT scans or MRIs. Symptoms like memory loss, mood swings, and cognitive changes can take weeks or months to fully appear. Moderate and severe TBI can cause impulsivity, irritability, and personality shifts that affect family and work life. Despite this, insurance companies routinely downplay or deny the impact of these invisible injuries.
The Legal Maze
Brain injury cases aren’t typical personal injury claims. They require medical expert coordination, long-term care planning, and complex lifetime damage calculations. You need a legal team experienced in traumatic brain injury—not just general accident law. And Georgia’s two-year statute of limitations means every step must be handled strategically and fast.
Every Day Matters
Under Georgia law, you only have 2 years from the date of injury to file a brain injury lawsuit. Miss this deadline, and your case cannot proceed—no matter how severe the injury. Meanwhile, critical evidence begins to fade within days. While you’re recovering, insurance companies are already preparing their defense. Every day matters. Start now.

Brain Injuries Require Lifetime Planning
| Cost Category | Immediate Impact | Lifetime Projections |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Treatment | $5,650 per day for severe TBI hospitalization | Ongoing monitoring, therapy, rehabilitation |
| First-Year Costs | Mild TBI: $27,260–$32,760 Severe TBI: $268,900–$408,520 |

Why Waiting Hurts Your Case
- Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations – absolute deadline from injury date
- Evidence like surveillance footage and electronic records is often lost or overwritten
- Witness memories fade quickly and become less reliable under legal scrutiny
- Insurance companies pressure victims into fast, inadequate settlements before the full extent of injury is known
