A brain injury can alter everything—your memory, movement, emotions, and future. We help victims of traumatic brain injuries recover the support they need to move forward.
When the Injury Is Invisible, Your Case Still Matters
Brain injuries don’t always show up on a scan, but they can affect every part of your life. Whether caused by a car crash, a fall, or a violent blow, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are among the most serious and misunderstood injuries. At Parrish Law Firm, we represent clients living with the lasting effects of TBI—and we fight to make those effects understood in court.
What Counts as a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
A TBI is caused by a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head that disrupts normal brain function. Common types include:
- Concussions (mild TBI)
- Contusions (brain bruising)
- Diffuse axonal injury (damage from sudden rotation or shaking)
- Penetrating head wounds
- Second impact syndrome
Even so-called “mild” TBIs can cause long-term issues with memory, mood, coordination, or sleep.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries We Handle
We represent clients who suffered TBIs due to:
- Car, truck, or motorcycle collisions
- Pedestrian or bicycle accidents
- Falls from heights or slippery surfaces
- Workplace or construction injuries
- Blunt-force trauma during assaults or sports
- Falling merchandise or objects on job sites or stores
We consult neurologists, neuropsychologists, and brain injury specialists to understand the full scope of harm.
Imagine This
While biking home through West Midtown, you’re struck by a car running a red light. You’re treated for a concussion and sent home. Weeks later, you struggle to focus, forget conversations, and get overwhelmed at work. A neurologist diagnoses you with post-concussive syndrome. A lawyer can gather your medical records, interview coworkers, and retain a neuropsych expert to prove the full cognitive impact of the injury.
Understanding the Long-Term Impact of TBI
TBI may affect:
- Short-term or long-term memory
- Speech and communication
- Mood regulation and impulse control
- Sleep cycles
- Sensory processing
- Physical coordination or movement
These impacts can interfere with your ability to work, maintain relationships, or live independently. We ensure those losses are reflected in your claim.

How long do I have to file a TBI lawsuit?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations is generally 2 years from the date of injury—but early documentation is critical.
Can I get compensation for emotional and cognitive issues?
