Traumatic Brain Injuries

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be one of the most devastating injuries anyone can suffer. When such an injury is caused by the negligence of another person or entity, there may be grounds for legal action. In that event, you need representation from a lawyer who is intimately familiar with traumatic brain injury law and can give your case the comprehensive, careful consideration it deserves. With more than 20 years of experience, traumatic brain injury attorney Warren Sams of The Sams Law Firm can give your case the deliberate, focused scrutiny it needs. From our office in Atlanta, we represent individuals and families across the region.

Prompt Medical Evaluation Is Critical

An acute traumatic brain injury can be obvious or subtle. In either case, it’s critical to get a sound medical evaluation as soon after an injury as possible. Obviously, a traumatic brain injury will change a person’s life forever. Even a mild brain injury has the potential to create long-lasting consequences, including:

• Depression
• Mood swings
• Reduced mental acuity

These factors can make it extremely hard to hold down a job. Getting an early and complete medical evaluation can go a long way toward bolstering your case against a potentially negligent party. Furthermore, it is important to retain a lawyer who knows how to decipher and debunk potentially misleading tests. Attorney Warren Sams has those skills. Our firm provides experienced counsel to leverage all evidence, including medical tests and evaluations, into the best possible settlement for your accident. If a trial is necessary, we have the experience and skill required to present a strong case.

Long-Term Consequences

The financial needs of a person who has suffered a traumatic brain injury can be significant and lifelong. Furthermore, sometimes the needs of an accident victim might not become known until later down the line. Financial considerations such a case might bring up include:

• Ongoing medical or physical therapy needs
• Insurance challenges
• The victim’s ability (or inability) to work
• Whether independent living is possible
• The need for any assistive devices for mobility or communication
• Whether the person qualifies for disability status
• Eligibility for various forms of compensation

With so much at stake, it is critical to retain an experienced lawyer with comprehensive knowledge of traumatic brain injury cases. At The Sams Law Firm, we are dedicated to fight as hard as we can to help you recover from or acclimate to your new life after a traumatic brain injury.
