Marietta Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
A traumatic brain injury from a vehicle accident in Marietta can have devastating, lifelong consequences. High-speed collisions on I-75, US-41, and the I-285/I-75 interchange in Cobb County produce some of the most severe TBIs in metro Atlanta. Georgia Auto Law represents Marietta TBI victims and fights for the long-term compensation needed to cover years of medical care and rehabilitation.
Types of Brain Injuries We Handle
- Concussions — Often dismissed as "mild" but can cause lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms
- Contusions — Bruising of the brain tissue from impact, which may require surgical intervention
- Diffuse axonal injuries — Caused by violent rotational forces that tear nerve fibers throughout the brain
- Coup-contrecoup injuries — Brain damage at both the impact site and the opposite side of the skull
- Penetrating injuries — When debris or bone fragments enter brain tissue
Why TBI Cases Require Specialized Representation
- Delayed symptoms — TBI symptoms may not appear for days or weeks, and insurers use this delay against you
- Invisible injury — Brain injuries are not always visible on standard imaging, making thorough documentation critical
- Long-term costs — The CDC estimates lifetime costs for a severe TBI can exceed $3 million
- Diminished earning capacity — A TBI can permanently reduce your ability to work, requiring expert economic testimony
- Life care planning — Severe TBIs require a life care plan projecting future needs over the victim's remaining lifetime

Georgia Law and Your Rights
Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) allows recovery as long as you are less than 50% at fault. The "eggshell plaintiff" doctrine protects your right to full compensation even with pre-existing conditions. The statute of limitations is two years (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33).
