A medical doctor&#8217;s exam and a clear record of symptoms come first. That record, along with the crash report and insurance details, shapes what happens next in a Georgia injury claim. This guide explains those pieces in plain language. Ugwonali Law Group represents people hurt in crashes across metro Atlanta and statewide in Georgia.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Brain Injury From a Car Crash Is<\/h2>\n<p>A brain injury from a car crash happens when a blow, jolt, or penetrating force to the head disrupts how the brain works. It can range from a concussion to a severe injury. Head injuries can be serious even when the outside of the head looks fine.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms may show up hours or days after the crash. People often do not connect them to the collision right away. Families commonly notice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Headaches that keep coming back<\/li>\n<li>Confusion or trouble remembering things<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness or balance problems<\/li>\n<li>Changes in sleep<\/li>\n<li>Irritability or mood changes<\/li>\n<li>Sensitivity to light or noise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some brain injuries appear on imaging such as CT or MRI scans. Others are identified through a neurological exam and by tracking symptoms over time. A medical doctor makes the diagnosis either way.<\/p>\n<p>This guide is written for the injured adult, a spouse or parent, or an adult child helping a relative who struggles with work, memory, or daily tasks after a crash.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If someone you love is in treatment after a Cobb County crash, or you are living with symptoms yourself, our team can walk you through what comes next.

That record links symptoms to the collision, and it carries much of the weight in a brain injury claim.<\/p>\n<p>A typical care path may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emergency department evaluation<\/li>\n<li>Imaging such as CT or MRI<\/li>\n<li>Referral to neurology or neurosurgery<\/li>\n<li>Rehabilitation, such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy<\/li>\n<li>Follow-up visits and medication management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keeping appointments, describing symptoms accurately, and following the treatment plan all matter for recovery and for the record.<\/p>\n<p>Keep these records:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discharge papers and imaging reports<\/li>\n<li>Bills and explanation-of-benefits statements<\/li>\n<li>Pharmacy receipts<\/li>\n<li>Mileage to appointments<\/li>\n<li>A daily journal of symptoms and daily tasks you can no longer do<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can ask each provider for copies of your records. Police crash reports are another source. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dot.ga.gov\/GDOT\/pages\/CrashReporting.aspx\">Georgia Department of Transportation<\/a> has a page on crash reporting. The <a href=\"https:\/\/dps.georgia.gov\/victim-assistance\">Georgia Department of Public Safety<\/a> has a victim assistance page.<\/p>\n<p>Medical bills matter too. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/api\/document\/docs\/default-source\/joint-features-document-library\/t51-(v39)-pdf.pdf\">O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-1.1<\/a>, medical expense damages are limited to the reasonable value of medically necessary care, treatment, or services.<\/p>\n<h2>Who May Be Responsible and Which Insurance Applies<\/h2>\n<p>A claim generally looks at the at-fault party and the liability insurance that covers that party. Fault and insurance are often the two questions that shape a claim.<\/p>\n<p>When a commercial vehicle, delivery van, or company driver is involved, more than one policy may apply. Which insurer covers the company is often a central early question.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia uses a modified comparative fault rule. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/api\/document\/docs\/default-source\/joint-features-document-library\/t51-(v39)-pdf.pdf\">O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-33<\/a>, the judge reduces damages in proportion to the injured person&#8217;s share of fault. A person who is 50 percent or more responsible for the injury or damages recovers nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Time limits matter. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/api\/document\/docs\/default-source\/joint-features-document-library\/t9-ch1-10-(v6)-2023-pdf.pdf\">O.C.G.A. \u00a7 9-3-33<\/a>, actions for injuries to the person must be brought within two years after the right of action accrues. The statute has exceptions, so review the deadline early.<\/p>\n<p>Your own coverage can matter. Your own policy may also include medical payments coverage.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Brain Injury Claim May Include<\/h2>\n<p>A brain injury claim can address medical bills, future care, lost income, and pain and suffering. Each area needs its own proof.<\/p>\n<p>A claim may cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Past and future medical bills<\/li>\n<li>Rehabilitation and therapy costs<\/li>\n<li>Medication<\/li>\n<li>Lost wages and reduced ability to earn in the future<\/li>\n<li>Pain and suffering<\/li>\n<li>Out-of-pocket costs, such as mileage and household help the injured person now needs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Future care is documented through treating doctors&#8217; opinions about ongoing treatment and through cognitive testing. For significant injuries, vocational or life-care assessments may also be used.<\/p>\n<p>Every claim is different. General information cannot predict an insurance decision or a court outcome. The value of a claim depends on the medical evidence and the facts of the crash.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Claim Process Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>A typical claim moves from a consultation to records gathering, a demand to the insurer, and, if needed, a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free consultation.<\/strong> You or a family member describe the crash, the injuries, the treatment, and any insurance contacts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation and records.<\/strong> The firm gathers medical records, bills, crash reports, and insurance information. This often takes weeks to months, depending on treatment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Demand and negotiation.<\/strong> A demand goes to the insurance company, followed by negotiation. Some claims resolve without a lawsuit. Others require filing suit before the deadline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lawsuit, if needed.<\/strong> A filed case moves through discovery, depositions, and possibly mediation or trial. Brain injury cases can take longer because the recovery must be understood first.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Waiting until treatment ends can cost valuable time. Keeping records from the early days after an injury, such as medical notes and photos, can be helpful when reviewing a case. The firm can communicate with insurers for the client, so the injured person can focus on medical care. Intake is available in English or Spanish.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Clients Work With Ugwonali Law Group<\/h2>\n<p>Ugwonali Law Group is a personal injury practice led by attorney Adanna Ugwonali.
