Legal Advocacy For Victims Of Traumatic Brain Injuries
The human skull is designed to protect the brain, but sometimes, the forces in an accident are just too great. Because the brain is so complex, no two brain injury cases are alike. Different individuals may have very different symptoms and very different recoveries.
That is where an experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI) lawyer can prove critical. At The Finley Firm, P.C., our attorneys are well-versed in the medical aspects of brain trauma and how it changes daily life and the future for victims and their families. Our team has aided people in Georgia, Alabama and across the country who have suffered TBIs because of others’ negligence.

Our Team Is All Too Familiar With Brain Injury Cases
It’s always heartbreaking when a healthy person suddenly suffers a head injury or other oxygen deprivation that results in brain damage. Our personal injury practice is equipped to advocate for victims of TBI as a result of:
- Auto collisions and truck accidents
- Pedestrians and bicyclists hit by cars
- Rollover crashes
- Motorcycle accidents
- Near-drownings
- Construction accidents or industrial explosions
- Slip-and-falls or falls from heights
- Medical mishaps such as anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries resulting in cerebral palsy or other brain damage
Our lawyers have the experience and resources to investigate accidents to establish the negligence or reckless actions that caused or contributed to TBIs. Through negotiation, arbitration, mediation and courtroom litigation, they are committed to securing the comprehensive compensation necessary to fill the financial void and provide medical and personal care for months, years or a lifetime.
Diagnosing And Treating A TBI
Many brain injuries are not diagnosed immediately. The victim may have broken bones, severe bleeding or other pressing injuries. Often, the symptoms of brain injury are delayed until hours, days or even weeks after the accident. Depending on circumstances and the area of the brain that is damaged, a TBI can cause a wide range of symptoms and impairments, including one or more of the following:
- Amnesia and short-term memory loss
- Fogginess or inability to concentrate
- Blurred vision
- Motor impairment
- Problems with speech or processing language
- Chronic headaches
- Sleeplessness
- Cognitive deficits
- Outbursts and mood swings
- Personality change
Our attorneys have experience working for insurance companies. They know what kind of documentation insurers will insist upon, and they know that those companies will have their own lawyers and medical experts second-guessing your claim for damages. Those insurance defense insights and our attorneys’ attention to detail are your advantage as they work to try to secure the compensation your family needs and deserves.
Telling Your Unique TBI Story
Our attorneys at The Finley Firm, P.C., work with the client and family members to document the impact on daily living and medical progress. Their job is to develop that narrative and secure compensation for the medical expenses and ongoing care needs, lost earnings, lost quality of life, and personal pain and suffering. Some people face long recoveries. Some will never work again or will work only in limited capacities. It takes a big toll on families whose lives are completely upended.
With offices in Columbus and Atlanta, our team takes TBI cases throughout Georgia, Alabama and beyond.
