Brain Injury Personal Injury Lawyer Atlanta Georgia
Traumatic Brain Injuries are devastating. It is tragic when anyone is seriously injured in an accident that is caused by someone else. Physical injuries can disrupt someone’s ability to walk, work, care for their families, and conduct their lives. However, brain injuries affect the injured party’s ability to think and attacks the very essence of who that person is. If we can’t think, then we really can’t continue to live and relate to our family and friends in the way we enjoyed prior to the brain injury. In some ways a brain injury if severe is worse than any type of physical injury since it can changes our personality, our ability to relate to others, and our ability to function and make decisions for ourselves. Broken bones and other physical injuries often fully heal, but traumatic brain injuries often are permanent and devastating.
