Head Trauma and Brain Injuries Vary in Severity
Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents are all common causes of head injuries and traumatic brain injuries. In the same way that these injuries can occur in a wide variety of ways, they can also have a wide range of effects on the victim.
Some brain injuries, known as traumatic brain injuries or TBIs, can cause severe brain damage, and the victim may require intensive therapy or ongoing care and support for the rest of their life. In other cases, they may only suffer a mild concussion and recover fully in a short time. There are many other possibilities in between, as well.
For this reason, the attorneys from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers take steps to understand the unique injuries, treatment, support, and prognosis of our clients in every accident case we take on. We also encourage anyone involved in a car accident who suspects they have a head or brain injury to seek immediate medical care.

Working With Bader Scott Injury Lawyers on Your Case
A Savannah head and brain injury lawyer from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers can represent you in your insurance claim or civil suit if we believe there is evidence to prove that the other driver caused your accident because of their negligence. This may include evidence that:
- The other driver had a duty to do something, such as following a specific traffic law
- The other driver did not do so, and this caused your accident
- You suffered injuries and financial losses as a result
If there was another party involved in your case whose negligent actions caused the accident, such as a negligent mechanic, component manufacturer, or municipality, Bader Scott Injury Lawyers can identify and build a case against them as well.
We can also defend your case if the insurance company representing the responsible party claims that you contributed to causing the accident. Bader Scott Injury Lawyers may be able to present evidence to counter these allegations or to show the full extent of the other party’s liability when we represent you.
Our team can seek damages based on the facts we gather in your case. We may be able to reach an agreement on a settlement value with the other party’s insurance company through negotiations. If not, we can take your case to trial.
