Body, Brain & Mental Injuries in Georgia
Not all wounds can be seen—but every injury deserves justice. At Brandon Smith Law, we represent Georgians whose lives have been changed by severe physical trauma, brain injuries, and emotional suffering caused by negligence.
Our mission is to help you rebuild—physically, emotionally, and financially—by holding wrongdoers accountable and recovering the compensation you deserve.
Whether you were hurt in a car crash, fall, workplace incident, or medical mistake, we understand that healing goes beyond the body. You need support, advocacy, and results. That’s where we come in.
Understanding Serious Injury Cases
When someone’s careless actions cause serious harm, recovery involves much more than healing wounds. These cases often arise from preventable incidents such as:
Auto, truck, or motorcycle crashes
Falls or unsafe property conditions
Workplace or construction accidents
Assaults due to negligent security
Medical negligence or malpractice
Defective products or equipment failures
Each case involves unique challenges. Our team investigates every cause, gathers medical evidence, and builds a case that reflects the true impact on your life and future.
Common Types of Injuries
Serious accidents affect people in different ways. Below are the major types of injuries we help clients recover from.
Bodily Injuries
Physical injuries are often immediate and life-altering. They may include:
Broken bones and fractures
Spinal cord or nerve damage
Severe burns or amputations
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Chronic pain and mobility loss
We pursue compensation that reflects hospital stays, rehabilitation, and long-term limitations.
Brain & Head Injuries
Injuries to the brain can disrupt memory, focus, and personality. Victims may experience:
Concussions and skull fractures
Brain swelling or bleeding
Fatigue, confusion, or cognitive decline
Changes in mood, sleep, or concentration
Because brain trauma is often invisible, we work with neurologists and neuropsychologists to prove its lasting impact.
Emotional & Mental Injuries
Trauma doesn’t always show up on an X-ray. Emotional injuries can include:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety, depression, or panic attacks
Sleep problems and irritability
Loss of interest in daily life
Georgia law allows recovery for mental distress—and our team ensures it’s taken seriously.
The Steps to Take After an Injury
Bicycle accidents are not the same as typical vehicle collisions, and these cases come with their own set of challenges.
Your actions after a serious injury can greatly affect your recovery and your legal rights. Acting quickly protects your health and strengthens your case.
Seek medical attention immediately. Some injuries take days to appear.
Follow your treatment plan and attend every appointment.
Document your symptoms in a daily journal or app.
Preserve evidence, including photos, witness information, and expenses.
Avoid discussing your case with insurance adjusters.

The Challenges of Body, Brain & Mental Injury Cases
Serious injury claims are among the most complex in personal injury law. The reason? Many injuries evolve over time or remain unseen—and insurance companies exploit that uncertainty.
These cases require careful strategy because:
Symptoms may appear weeks later, especially in TBIs.
Emotional injuries are often minimized or stigmatized.
Medical proof requires specialized expert testimony.
Long-term costs—like therapy or lost income—must be accurately projected.
Our firm collaborates with physicians, therapists, and economists to calculate your total losses. We fight for a settlement or verdict that reflects your full recovery—not just your medical bills.
Proving Liability & Recoverable Damages
Negligent drivers and trucking companies
Property owners or employers
Medical providers or facilities
Product manufacturers or distributors
Government entities responsible for unsafe roads
Once liability is established, we pursue full compensation under Georgia law.
Success begins with proving who was responsible and what you’ve lost. We investigate thoroughly to identify every liable party, including:
Economic Damages
Medical expenses and future care
Rehabilitation and counseling
Lost wages and earning potential
Home modifications for disability
Non-Economic Damages
Pain and emotional distress
Disfigurement or permanent disability
Loss of enjoyment of life and companionship
Punitive Damages
In cases of reckless or malicious conduct, such as drunk driving.
We make sure your recovery reflects both what you’ve lost and what you’ll need to move forward.
Your Legal Rights in Georgia
Knowing your rights can make the difference between recovery and regret.
Comparative Negligence Rule: In Georgia, you can still recover damages even if you’re partly at fault, as long as you’re less than 50 % responsible. Your award is reduced by your share of fault.
Statute of Limitations: Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury, though exceptions apply for delayed diagnoses.
Insurance Tactics: Insurers often push early settlements. Never sign or accept payment before consulting a lawyer—especially in brain or emotional injury cases, where symptoms may evolve.
Our attorneys ensure your rights are protected from day one and guide you through every step of the claims process.
