A traumatic brain injury can change a person’s memory, personality, and ability to work for the rest of their life. These are high-stakes cases, and insurers routinely undervalue them. If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury in Atlanta or anywhere in Georgia, Foster James, LLC works with medical and economic experts to prove the true, lifetime cost of the injury. There is no fee unless we win.
Types of traumatic brain injury
- Concussion and post-concussion syndrome
- Contusion, or bruising of the brain
- Diffuse axonal injury
- Penetrating injury
- Second-impact and hypoxic injuries
Common causes
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, falls, and blows to the head from unsafe conditions.
Georgia law you should know
- Two-year deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit (O.C.G.A. Section 9-3-33).
- Modified comparative fault (O.C.G.A. Section 51-12-33): you can recover if less than 50% at fault, reduced by your share.
- 2025 tort reform (SB 68) changed how medical bills and damages are presented to juries. In a high-value injury case, that makes skilled representation and expert proof essential.
Compensation you may recover
Past and future medical care, long-term and in-home care, lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and, in a fatal case, wrongful death damages.
Why brain injury cases need experienced counsel
The largest part of a brain injury claim is often future care and lost earning capacity, which must be proven with medical and economic experts. Foster James, LLC builds that proof and does not let an insurer set the value of your future. We work on a contingency-fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a brain injury case worth? It depends on the severity of the injury and its effect on your life and ability to work. Much of the value is future care and lost earning capacity, which we prove with experts.
What if my loved one cannot manage their own claim? A family member or guardian can often pursue a claim on behalf of an injured person. We can explain the options.
How long do I have to file in Georgia? Generally two years from the date of injury, under O.C.G.A. Section 9-3-33.
What does a brain injury lawyer cost? Nothing up front. Foster James, LLC works on contingency, so you only pay if we win.
