Frequently Asked Questions About Traumatic Brain Injury and Personal Injury Claims
How long does it take to settle a TBI case?
Settlement timelines vary widely based on case complexity and medical treatment duration. Some cases settle in months, while others take years.
Will insurance pay for my TBI damages?
Insurance companies may offer initial settlements, but those are often much lower than what you deserve. Our attorneys aggressively negotiate for full compensation.
Can I still file a claim if I was partly at fault?
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault, although your recovery may be reduced proportionally.
