What You Should Bring When Visiting Your Atlanta Head Injury Attorney

When you have suffered a head injury in Georgia, you need to visit an Atlanta head injury attorney to review the possibility of a lawsuit. Henry Spiegel Milling LLP is an experienced Atlanta head injury law firm.  We help you assess the potential for successful litigation based on the information we gather about your Georgia head injury.
Details about the accident that caused your head injury in Georgia

When you sit down with your Atlanta head injury lawyer at Henry Spiegel Milling LLP, we begin by reviewing the basic details of your Georgia head injury.  We will ask you to tell us everything you can recall about the circumstances surrounding your head injury, such asâ€

  • What you were doing at the time
  • How your head was hit
  • Who else witnessed your head injury

Witnesses are especially important in your Georgia head injury case, because you may have difficulty remembering all of the details.  When you come to meet with your Atlanta head injury attorney, bring any contact information that you may have for the witnesses to your head injury.   Be sure to also bring a copy of the police report, so we can compare the police department's documentation of your Georgia head injury to the recollections of the witnesses.

Medical records are essential after a head injury in Atlanta

If we enter litigation regarding your head injury in Georgia, the defense will claim that your head injury is the result of a prior incident or a pre-existing condition.  To be prepared to refute this argument, we must thoroughly examine all of your past medical records so that we are aware of anyâ€

  • Head trauma noted in your birth records
  • History of psychological issues
  • Records of substance abuse
  • Previous incident of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Your medical records following your Georgia head injury are the most important of all, and you must bring all of them with you:

  • Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) reading
  • CT scan report
  • MRI image
  • PET scan data
  • Other neuropsychological test results

You can help improve your chance of an award for your Georgia head injury

Bring as much information as you can to your first meeting with your Atlanta head injury attorney.  Henry Spiegel Milling LLP will determine what additional information is needed, and we will seek out additional materials to strengthen your Georgia head injury case.
