Atlanta Children's Brain Injury Lawyers

An Atlanta brain injury attorney can help you recover compensation for past and future medical bills, pain and suffering, and any loss to the child’s quality of life caused by the brain injury. In preparing for a brain injury lawsuit, our Atlanta attorneys may consult with medical experts, including doctors, physical therapists, and rehabilitation specialists.

If a lawsuit is filed, these medical experts may be used to explain to the judge and jury the extent of your child’s injuries as well as the rehabilitation procedures that may be required to help your kid recover.

Our brain injury attorneys also have extensive experience dealing with insurance companies and the tactics they sometimes use to avoid paying claims. If a settlement is offered by the wrongdoer’s insurer, our attorneys will evaluate it to ensure that it provides adequate compensation for all expenses incurred as a result of the brain injury.

Brain injuries are usually classified as mild, moderate, or severe. A mild traumatic brain injury can be the most difficult to diagnose and treat. In many cases, the symptoms of a mild brain injury do not appear until several weeks or even months after the injury occurred.

A child who has suffered a brain injury may not have any symptoms immediately after the accident but may start to act differently several weeks later. The following symptoms may indicate that a child has suffered a brain injury:

• Inability to concentrate
• Dizziness
• Impaired sense of sight, smell, or taste
• Memory loss
• Changes in mood, including unusual anger, depression, irritability, or other personality changes
• Changes in school performance
• Sleep disorders
• Impaired judgment
• Difficulty swallowing or chewing
• Vomiting

If your child has suffered a blow to the head and is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important that you seek proper medical attention right away to determine if a traumatic brain injury has occurred.
