Atlanta and Marietta, Georgia Brain Injury Attorneys
Brain injuries happen by the thousands in the United States every year. Many people who suffer brain injuries become permanently disabled. The disabilities could be physical, cognitive, behavioral, and/or emotional in nature. The fortunate victims who survive brain injury and are not permanently disabled, often require five to ten years of rehabilitation before they can lead normal lives again.
After a brain injury, the brain simply cannot function as it did before the injury. The nerves and neurons may not be able to deliver messages, leaving speech, body movements, and other mental processes compromised.
There are many causes of traumatic brain injuries, however, the most common causes of traumatic brain injury are from an external blow to the head with some type of force.

Another circumstance involving a car accident where someone can suffer a traumatic brain injury is due to a sudden decrease in speed. This can cause a person to snap their head back violently causing injury to the brain.
