Free Brain Injury Case Review in Georgia

A free brain injury case review in Georgia is a confidential first conversation about your crash, your medical care, and your options. Ugwonali Law Group offers this first consultation free, confidential, and without obligation to continue. The call gives you a plain-language look at whether a claim may be worth pursuing. It does not promise any result. This page explains what the review covers and what the first call looks like.

What a Free Brain Injury Case Review Is and Who It Is For

A free brain injury case review is a first call where you explain what happened, what treatment you received, and whether a claim may be worth pursuing.

It fits adults hurt in a Georgia car or truck crash who have a brain injury diagnosed by a medical doctor. It also fits families whose loved one died after a head injury. Many people are still in treatment when they call. Others worry about medical bills, lost work, or changes in how they think and feel.

The review is an information conversation. Nobody can tell you what a claim will bring before the facts, records, and medical picture are reviewed. Attorney Adanna Ugwonali explains the law and the process in plain words, so you can decide what fits your situation.

The first consultation is free, confidential, and without obligation to continue. Intake is available in English or Spanish.

Brain Injuries That Are Commonly Reviewed After a Crash

Brain injuries after a crash are often called traumatic brain injury (TBI). This means the brain was hurt by a blow, a jolt, or a sudden force to the head.

Injuries range from a concussion, to a contusion (bruising of the brain tissue), to severe injuries that need hospital care and sometimes surgery. Emergency staff often record a Glasgow Coma Scale score. This score tracks eye, voice, and movement responses. Imaging such as CT and MRI scans shows what happened inside the skull. These records become part of the medical story a claim depends on.

Some symptoms appear hours, days, or weeks later. Headaches, dizziness, memory trouble, sleep changes, and mood changes are common. Write down each symptom and the date it started.

Reviews often involve one of these situations:

• Car accidents, where a head injury follows a crash.
• Truck accidents, where a large commercial vehicle is involved.
• Falls on unsafe property. O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1-2017-pdf.pdf) provides that an owner or occupier who invites people onto land must use ordinary care to keep the premises and approaches safe.
• Wrongful death after a head injury, where a family member has died.

How the First Call Works, Step by Step

The first call moves through five steps, and you set the pace.

1. Initial contact. You reach out by phone, chat, or web form. Intake staff speak English or Spanish.
2. Crash facts. Intake asks for the date, place, and vehicles involved. They also ask how the crash happened, in your own words. You do not need to prove fault on this call.
3. Medical care. Staff ask about the emergency room, hospital stays, imaging, visits with a doctor or neurologist, and your current treatment.
4. Insurance. You share what you know about the other driver’s insurer and any commercial policy tied to a truck or business. Georgia limits when a motor carrier’s insurer can be joined to a lawsuit, as set out in O.C.G.A. § 40-1-112-2024-pdf.pdf).
5. Your questions. You ask about the process. Attorney Adanna Ugwonali reviews the facts when the case is ready for her review.

The call is not a test. You do not have to know legal terms or have every record in hand.

What to Gather Before Your Free Review

Gather what you can. Missing items do not stop you from calling.

• The crash report number, plus the date, time, and place of the crash.
• Names and contact details for the other driver, passengers, and witnesses.
• Insurance information for each vehicle, including the trucking company’s policy if you know it.
• Medical records, discharge papers, imaging reports, and a list of every doctor and treatment facility.
• Photos, dashcam footage, and a written timeline of symptoms, missed work, and daily changes.

For a family, add hospital records and bills for funeral and medical care.

Keep a symptom journal. Brain injury symptoms can change from week to week. A dated record helps your doctors and the review.

What Happens After the Review

After the review, you decide whether to move forward. The firm explains each next step in plain language.

Typical next steps include gathering records, reviewing your medical care, and communicating with insurers only as you authorize. Brain injury claims often take time, because symptoms and recovery can change.

Georgia generally requires most injury lawsuits to be filed within two years after the right of action accrues. Georgia’s filing deadline for injury claims is stated in O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33-2023-pdf.pdf).

Georgia uses modified comparative fault, also called shared fault. O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33-pdf.pdf) provides that damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. You recover nothing if you are 50 percent or more responsible.

Medical expenses have their own rules. O.C.G.A. § 51-12-1.1-pdf.pdf) limits them to the reasonable value of medically necessary care. Questions about fees and case costs are answered before you decide to move forward.
